Constitutional Facial Acupuncture™: The New Protocols

products tabs

This constitutionally-based treatment protocol recognizes the face is the most emotive part of the body. It uses gentle origin/insertion techniques to address muscle imbalances relating to emotional expression, as well as lines, wrinkles and sagging tendencies. Three levels of treatments —Jing, Ying and Wei — and the three Shen scalp points support the facial protocols. This information is well organized and practical, and the treatments can be tailor-made for each patient.

Please note: this is an introduction to Constitutional Facial Acupuncture™. While facial needling techniques are introduced, demonstrated by the instructor, and useful information is provided in this webinar, it is recommended that participants enroll in a live seminar with the Instructor and creator of these protocols, and invest in her book, Constitutional Facial Acupuncture), in order to learn optimum needling skills and obtain an understanding of this approach which embraces body/mind/spirit.

Objectives:

  • Learn facial protocols based upon origin and insertion muscle techniques;
  • Understand the benefits of, and contraindications for, facial acupuncture;
  • Apply three types of constitutional treatments based upon the Jing, Ying and Wei levels;
