Merry meet, my friends. 
We are awake in the night!
We turn the Wheel to bring the light!
We call the sun from the womb of night!
Once I knew an ancient serpent. He delighted to bask in the Sunshine which penetrated through a tiny hole in the roof of the cave.

He was old, and very wise.

He said "Upon me is concentrated the Light of the whole Universe"

But a little brown beetle, who had long lived in the cave with him, looked up, and spreading his wings he passed out through the hole in the roof -- into the Infinite Beyond.

Thus, forsaking Wisdom, would I come to Thee, Beloved Lady of the Starry Heavens.

The days only get longer from here!

Merry meet; Merry part; and Merry meet again!

Community acupuncture is acupuncture preformed in a group setting, where several patients relax with needles retained at the same time. Typically, acupuncture needles are retained for 30-60min for one treatment. A group setting allows a doctor to treat several patients an hour, and thus lower the cost per...

Even though this formula comes towards the back of modern formula textbooks, it is often one of the first prescriptions an aspiring physician learns. The typical scenario is that a Chinese medicine student eats too much at a party or celebration the day/night before. In the morning, after complaining of a stomach ache, their teacher will give them this formula and then use the 'teachable moment' to discuss the herbs in the formula. The primary action of this formula is Promoting digestion and regulating the Stomach. The ...
