I’ve always thought of myself as pretty great when it came to ear acupuncture. That was until I figured out how much I DID NOT KNOW. It takes a lot more than memorizing a handful of really great point locations to become an amazing auriculotherapist. How I see it, there’s a... Read more

I was 8 years old when I watched Star Wars the first time, and that’s when I decided to build a robot. Out of a trash can. Powered by a car battery. OK, so maybe I’m kind of nerdy. Just like R2-D2, right? Don’t judge. Yeah, I’ll admit I’ve always loved the... Read more

Have you ever had someone ask you for acupuncture proof? Or have you ever been told that “it’s just placebo”? I have, and more regularly than I ever expected I would. Clearly, word gets around that it can’t be proven, or it doesn’t actually work. Acupuncture is widely maligned in “science” and... Read more
