In this episode of Study Acupuncture with Me, I share insights on 3 point prescriptions I've been using with all my points to improve determination, focus and goal-setting.

These prescriptions use UB-23 and UB-52 as the foundation because of their connection with the Kidneys, which in traditional chinese medicine are known as the ROOT OF LIFE and ESSENCE.

In this episode, we explore the benefits and applications of each acupuncture point prescription, and understand their physiological and spiritual influences. Hopefully after this episode you'll get some useful practical knowledge about these prescriptions and hopefully they'll enhance your practice of Acupuncture !
