What if you could understand AND explain mental health in TCM with more clarity and confidence than ever before to your patients?

In this episode, you go through a deep, conversational exploration of acupuncture points for mental health, bridging Chinese medicine theory with real-life application. From the mind–body connection to how acupuncture shifts the nervous system, this episode will help you connect the dots between emotions, organs, and point selection.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
• How acupuncture supports mental health through the nervous system and TCM organ-emotion relationships
• Key points for anxiety, insomnia, depression, and overthinking (like SP6, HT7, PC6, Yin Tang, LV3)
• Powerful combinations like the “Buddha's Triangle” (LU9, HT7, PC6) for emotional balance
• Practical ways to communicate TCM concepts clearly to patients and apply them in clinic

If you want to feel more confident treating mental health and explaining your point choices, this episode will give you both clarity and clinical insight. 💜
