I'd like to see how fast we could do it. I'm not sure but I think the training for the Barefoot Doctors under Mao was only a year. Thanks Mike. I’d like to see how fast we could do it.

It does involve at least 3 years of study and training to become licensed to practice acupuncture. The basic theory of Chinese Medicine and the 5 element theory I think is easier to learn than western based Medicine. It's amazing stuff! Hello,

Yes, you can use the little surface pins, even massage (though massage takes longer). There are lots of books you can buy to tell you where the points are. The gold standard for illustrations and details on what the points do is Peter Deadman (and friends). The price reflects the quality. There are lots of cheaper books available. I'll eventually get to doing the points on this blog, but it will be a while, so in the meantime find one of the cheap books. As to putting things off. Acupuncture should be able to at least assist. It would involve a proper diagnosis. Often it is to do with what is termed the spleen. This would usually be dealt with by points on the spleen and stomach channels (you can massage along these each day). This is if the mood is not strong, called 'pensive'. If your mood is intense and driven it may be to do with what is called the liver. If so there is a point between the bones on your feet between your big toe and the one next to it, it will be sore. Massaging here and along the outside of your leg roughly where the seam of your pants run will help. However it really requires a full diagnosis. Using acupuncture for 'psychological' conditions can be tricky. You may need a few sessions of counseling as well. Trust this helps and answers the question or six. Thanks again very much for your comment. Evan Hi Peter,

Just one question, or six. How do I get the needles in the right place, or can i use the little surface ones. Can acupuncture help me to get over my fixation on putting things off until later? Hi Ev.
