Qi Spot

I know it’s been a week since I came back from Beijing.  However, I needed some time to get used to Manila weather again and to catch up with some paperwork.  At the moment I have a conference to attend tomorrow, a lecture on wednesday and another on thursday.  And I’m not quite prepared yet ha ha.

My first thoughts after Beijing include these though:  acupuncture is like a baby brother to herbal medicine.  Second, there has to be a better name for herbal medicine, since not all are plants, and therefore, not all are herbs.  And third, a lot of these materia medica are common spices and vegetables in China.  It’s just how much are used, and in what combination.

I find myself liking pugongyin (dandelion) already…
