❓ What is the new technique for acupuncture?

🧭 A Return to Foundational Principles

In recent developments, acupuncture is not evolving toward fancier stimulation tools — but returning to its classical philosophical roots.
At CALee Acupuncture, we focus on restoring internal balance and harmony by analyzing both the patient’s innate constitution and current energy state, rather than targeting named diseases.


✨ Classical Roots Behind Today’s Innovations

Modern clinical application is increasingly informed by ancient texts such as the Nan Jing, Huangdi Neijing – Ling Shu, and even the I Ching. Key concepts include:

  • Nan Jing, Difficulty 69 – Principles of Supplementation and Drainage
    Determine whether the pattern is deficient (Xu) or excessive (Shi), then tonify or disperse accordingly.
    e.g., If Metal (Lung) is excessive and Wood (Liver) is deficient, disperse Metal and tonify Wood. 
  • Nan Jing, Difficulty 75 – Use of Five Element Control
    Use inter-elemental control (Ke cycle) to regulate excess in one organ by reinforcing its natural controller, restoring overall Five Element order. 
  • Huangdi Neijing – Ling Shu: Pulse Diagnosis as Energetic Blueprint
    Pulse reading becomes a high-level diagnostic tool to detect imbalances in each organ’s elemental signature, guiding acupuncture sequence and strategy.

📘 How It Integrates Clinically

This classical logic is applied in the following steps:

  • Constitutional Analysis: Determine innate elemental tendencies through Sa-Ju and diagnostic inquiry.
  • Pulse Diagnosis: Assess current organ function and energy distribution.
  • Application of Nan Jing 69: Decide direction of supplementation/drainage. 
  • Application of Nan Jing 75: Use inter-elemental control to re-balance energy. 
  • Precise Needle Strategy: Tailored to the patient’s energetic terrain.

📘 Clinical Integration Workflow

  1. Four Pillars (SaJu) → Analyze the patient’s innate Five Element constitution
  2. Pulse Diagnosis → Identify current energetic state of organ systems
  3. Apply Article 69 → Decide supplementation vs. drainage
  4. Apply Article 75 → Use controlling cycles for fine balance
  5. Point Selection & Needle Sequencing → Tailored to both constitution and symptoms

 

🔬 Beyond Techniques: The Role of Diagnosis and Intention

This shift is not about technological novelty, but about deeper alignment with acupuncture’s core nature.
True acupuncture involves precise diagnostics, intentionality, and restoration of energetic coherence.
Much like the observer effect in quantum physics, a practitioner's clarity of perception and intent may influence clinical outcomes.

✨ Conclusion

The most meaningful innovation in acupuncture today is a return to timeless diagnostic wisdom — allowing practitioners to deliver individualized, energetically precise, and clinically integrated care.
At CALee Acupuncture, this is not a trend — it’s the foundation of how we practice.
