Editorial Course Description




Acupuncture Made Easy…

Long before HMO’s, family practice and medical malpractice insurance ever entered the stage, acupuncture was already an ancient art.

It’s been around for millennia, but unlike passing medical “fads”, acupuncture is here to stay.

As a matter of fact, acupuncture – along with many other forms of alternative medicine – is back in full force. What was once a sacred study, centralized in Asian countries has now stormed across the entire planet, penetrating into even the most “traditional” Mid-Western communities.

And as acupuncture continues to take new ground, people are flocking towards it from two separate fronts – those looking to find a trusted acupuncturist and those looking to become a trusted acupuncturist.

And, whichever of these categories you find yourself in, one thing is certain – Barbara Wills’ course, Acupuncture Made Easy, was designed with you in mind.

Upon enrollment, you’ll be granted access to a series of nine lessons with the sole purpose of gaining an in-depth, comprehensive understanding of acupuncture in both its traditional and contemporary forms.

By the time you’ve completed the course, you’ll have a clear view of the essentials of acupuncture.

Fortunately, you don’t have to spend thousands of years (or even thousands of hours) in order to start mastering the ancient art of acupuncture. In fact, with continually open enrollment, you have the freedom to get started right now.

What are you waiting for? 

Editor's Comments

This course is an ideal choice for those who are looking for a comprehensive understanding of the art of acupuncture in a self-paced virtual setting. In Acupuncture Made Easy, instructor Barbara Wills has created an interactive educational platform for both acupuncture students and practitioners.

It offers a creative, in-depth perspective of an ancient therapy, exploring several factors and angles, including:

·        The history of acupuncture

·        Various acupuncture therapies

·        Diagnostics

·        Internal and external factors that can influence acupuncture therapies

·        Contraindications and precautionary advice

·        Guidelines for prescriptions…

And all of that is just the beginning.

Acupuncture Made Easy is divided into a total of eight lessons, all of which are direct and easy to digest. And, once you’ve worked through them all, you’ll find yourself in possession of skills and talents that will enable you to apply both ancient and contemporary acupuncture techniques. Techniques such as:

 

·        Moxibustion

·        Aricular acupuncture

·        Cupping, and

·        Electro-acupuncture

While some people might try to argue that it’s impossible to teach acupuncture principles effectively in a limited virtual environment, Barbara Wills begs to differ. She’s invested a great deal of time and effort to accomplish just that through the clever use of an interactive design that will ensure accuracy when it comes to point selection, the diagnosis of disease and methods of treatment that you might otherwise imagine to be impossible.

But the interactive platform isn’t the only reason that Acupuncture Made Easy works so well for those who enroll. There’s also the perk of not having to run out and spend a fortune on textbooks, tuition or other class materials. Instructor Wills is two steps ahead and has already included all of the materials you’ll need, waiting for you upon enrollment.

However, if you’d like to give yourself an extra competitive edge in the class, there are three titles that the instructor recommends, but doesn’t require:

·        Acupuncture for Everyone: What It Is, Why It Works, & How It Can Help You, Dr. Ruth Kidson

·        Standard Meridian Points of Acupuncture: Charts by Institute of Acupuncture & Moxibustion of the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine

·        Finding Effective Acupuncture Points, Denmei Shudo, Shudo Denmei, Stephen Brown.

 All three titles can be picked up at Amazon.com.

By the course’s end, you’ll have a cutting-edge, insider’s view into the amazing ancient art of acupuncture. And there’s no reason to wait for a new semester or quarter. Enrollment is always open, so don’t delay any longer, sign up today!
