i strained a ligament or something outside my left ankle that's been sending little zaps of energy through the area when i flex my foot too far (i.e. down-dog). so i decided to try a little chinese medicine before making a visit to my primary care physician. enter jacqueline roman, who conveniently has a practice set up a few days a week right here in beacon. had a very nice consultation and session - very thorough, great (w)holistic approach to health, gentle with the needles. did some kind of smudge therapy on the area, popped a magnet on one of my energy meridians on my leg (still there), and applied a healing pad. was very interesting what she was able to deduce about my overall state of health by just checking my pulse at different areas on the body, looking at my tongue, etc, doing her thing. pretty much nailed all my main complaints and the underlying causes that need to be resolved. going back thursday for another appointment. satisfied so far.
also lent me her copy of this book, which i have to recommend! i think i've gotten through half of it already in less than a week. great overview of the essentials of nutrition, proper food combinations, dietary treatment of disease, recipes and properties of vegetal foods, and some very interesting lists of afflictions associated with specific organs being out of balance. (she had told me right off the bat that my liver wasn't functioning optimally.. the list of physical/emotional issues related to liver disfunction in the book was spot on for me). so check it out!
