Episode 10 | VAS (Vascular Autonomic Signal)

i'm curious i don't use the vast myself in the clinic i'm usually palpate to feel the point to feel which point is reactive or like moxa practitioners say which point is is is a live point and yeah the vas i think can sharpen even uh my my selection of points so one day uh i'm gonna approach that it's really one day soon i hope sounds really uh Really

intriguing.

Japanese acupuncture, I really have a great respect for Japanese acupuncture.

Even more today after me discovering the VAS because they are hands-on.

It's like they are diagnosing and reading the body through touch and I think that's the real acupuncture.

I'll Another thing that's interesting about Masudong's acupuncture that I think we talked about in other episodes, but maybe it could be more clear now to the listeners, that the practitioners of the Masudong students, a lot of them say that Masudong's acupuncture is very ancient.

Even Masudong says it in his preface of his book.

It's way back.

It goes way back.

And I think it goes way back before the development of what we know of the 14 channels today.

And at the beginning, there were only 11 lines, 11 channels before the points.

And they used bian.

They used stone on the areas.

And they did moksa also on these areas.

And they also did bloodletting.

The first needles... were very wide and they were not so delicate as the needles we use today.

And they were very shallow.

They stood like this needle, very shallow.

And after when the needles developed more, the needles became very small and thin.

These areas changed into points.

But Ma So Dong, we still use areas because the Daoma is an area.

So it's showing how ancient this technique is.

And so, yeah, also like Japanese, they always like trying to read the body.

And I think that's the biggest change that happened to me using the bus is that I started to, I stopped using my brain.

Okay.
