One of Dr. Wang’s most useful analogies for describing the physiology of the channels is the classic bamboo steamer that is a common sight at dumpling and bao shops in China. It’s a useful image for understanding how the channels support and influence each other to maintain a healthy internal environment.
In this episode of Dialogues on Applied Channel Theory, Jonathan and Nyssa share two cases where the lid of the steamer is opened to vent the Shao Yang.

In this episode, Jonathan Chang and Jason Robertson describe a common point pairing strategy used by Dr. Wang. Namely, what might be done when a presenting pattern fails to fit perfectly into categories of 'excess' or 'deficiency'. In these situations, more of a 'regulating' treatment is called for where the channels and organs are cleared without depleting. This discussion provides a broad overview of how these patterns might look in each of the six channels. In addition, some guidelines for creating innovative point combinations are described.

In Lingshu Chapter 18, the Neijing describes each of the three 'burners' (焦 jiao) in the trunk of the body as having what Dr. Wang described as 'environments'. In that text, the middle burner is described as a 'pickling pot' (漚 ou). In this discussion, Jonathan and Jason discuss a variety of common patterns and physiological concepts related to this central area of post-natal qi creation. Cases are described, questions are posed and, as usual, there is more to explore in the clinic!

Dr. Wang Ju-Yi always reminded his students to see acupuncture points like friends. It takes time to learn their character and personality, tendencies in activity, needle sensation, and how each point should feel when palpating for their location. In this latest episode, Jonathan and Nyssa chat about some point friends they have re-visited recently in their clinics, like PC-6 and LR-5, and, how channel palpation helps to re-evaluate their functions.
