termine how the incomprehensibly complex processes of each unique individual’s physi- ology will respond to acupuncture


Therefore, in both a shaken snow globe and a newly-acupunctured patient (I think I just made acupuncture a verb there) we’re trusting that the natural laws of the universe will prevail in the end. With a snow globe, we trust the law of gravity to sort out the chaos of the roiled bauble and to give us a clear, even picture in a few minutes. With acupuncture, we trust the body’s own inher- ent ability to default to health and homeo- stasis over the course of the initial series of treatments.


This is not to say that acupuncture has


achieved its end result when we have arrived at this clearer picture. However, once the chaos of the snow globe effect has settled down, the patient is almost always feel- ing much better in terms of the peripheral symptoms that are kicked off by the initial treatments, and we have a much clearer pic- ture of what the main issue is that we need to work on - the root cause. And with the target in plain view, it’s a much easier job for the acupuncturist to zero in on it and give it everything we’ve got.
