Master Tung's Acupuncture in Greece

Master Tung's Acupuncture in Greece Continuing Professional Development Education in Master Tung Acupuncture. Each zone has its own set of points and a unique numbering system.

Tung Ching Ch’ang (1916-1975) was known as one of the best 4 Chinese physicians in Taiwan. Born in China in 1916, he left permanently for the island of Taiwan just as the Maoists were establishing the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in 1949 on the mainland. He learned acupuncture at the footsteps of his father which was a unique family system passed down through 11 generations from father to son.

Retreating to Taiwan where a new seat of the Republic of China (ROC) was being established, he joined the army during this tumultuous time and fought against the Japanese during the dawn of WW II, in addition to fighting against the Maoists during the Nationalistic Communist Civil War. After he retired from military service, he opened up a private acupuncture clinic and became very well known and was called upon by many high ranking officials. To preserve his family lineage for the benefit of future generations, he decided to break tradition and train people outside of his family lineage. During his lifetime, he trained 73 students in the entire body of knowledge of this simple, easy, and effective acupuncture system. Two of his most famous disciples are currently on the teaching circuit in California – Dr. Wei-Chieh Young and Dr. Chuan-Min Wang both of who continue to pass on the lineage through their professional development training to thousands of practitioners of Chinese medicine worldwide. The most prominent feature of Tung’s acupuncture is the extensive use of points not found in the dominant systems of Chinese medicine. Instead of using the 12 regular meridians, he uses 12 anatomical zones that clearly function as a micro-system. There are a total of over 700 points of which 40-100 are commonly used clinically. Tung family acupuncture is gaining popularity in the modern world because of the quick results and use of few needles (Dao Ma needling sequence). The current trend in Chinese Medicine profession has been shifting from a more modern TCM movement of streamlined terminology and theory using ‘experiential points’ with an emphasis on organs and syndromes to a more classical acupuncture approach utilizing the channels as a physiological system as a whole. To ‘grasp’ the theoretical foundations of Chinese medicine one must dive deeply into basic channel theory. Master Tung’s acupuncture does exactly this! It is a system that every contemporary practitioner of Chinese medicine should have in their bank of knowledge. Basic channel theory is the fundamental pillar and the core of Classical Acupuncture.

Different Methods. The Same Clinical Discipline.

I’ve been thinking about the similarities between Ye Heng-yin and Master Tung. On the surface, their medicine looks very different. Ye gives us herbal medicine. Master Tung gives us acupuncture.

But look a little closer at how they thought clinically, and there is an interesting parallel.

Ye believed it was better to know a smaller group of formulas used in women’s medicine, and to know them really well. Understand the pattern. Know why you are prescribing the formula. And then, modify it as the woman’s presentation changes.

Master Tung approached acupuncture in much the same spirit. Rather than collecting hundreds of acupuncture points and treating symptoms one by one, his approach asks us to consider which of the Five Zang has lost harmony, treat the root, and master a smaller group of Dao Ma treatment strategies really well.

Different methods. Different diagnostic approaches. But a similar clinical discipline. Don’t chase symptoms. Understand what you are treating. Have a coherent treatment strategy.

And this brings me back to something I feel strongly about: professional documentation.

I think ICD-11 Traditional Medicine (TM1 codes) documentation is easier than many practitioners imagine.

Think about it. We have already taken the menstrual history. We have differentiated the disorder and pattern. We have decided on our treatment strategy. We know why we are choosing those acupuncture points or that herbal formula. The clinical reasoning is already there.

ICD-11 TM1 simply gives us our own standardized diagnostic language to document that reasoning and follow the woman’s health journey as her presentation changes. The codes are not the medicine. They help us tell the story of the medicine. And good documentation doesn’t begin with a code. It begins with good clinical reasoning.

This is what I mean when I say: Think Like a TCM Gynecologist.

Think Classically. Treat Skillfully. Prescribe Wisely. Document Professionally.

If this approach resonates with the way you want to practice, I would be delighted to welcome you to …

Master Tung’s Acupuncture in the Treatment of TCM Gynecology: A Clinical Mentorship Built on Four Pillars.

We will take a deep dive into both Tung’s Dao Ma needle strategy as well as Ye’s top 10 “Fu Ke” Gynecological herbal formulas and their construction and modifications. Paired together, they synergistically have been shown to improve patient outcomes.

A New Chapter Begins…

Over the past 25 years, I have had the privilege of treating thousands of women through the wisdom of Chinese medicine and the remarkable clinical effectiveness of Master Tung's Acupuncture. Throughout this journey, students have often asked me: "Will you ever teach a mentorship in women's health?" After much reflection, I have decided that the answer is yes.

I am excited to present a new mentorship program:

Master Tung's Treatment of TCM Gynecological Disorders & Fertility Enhancement - A Women's Health Clinical Mentorship

This mentorship will be designed for licensed acupuncturists and advanced students who wish to deepen their understanding of women's health through Master Tung's Acupuncture. Rather than focusing on memorizing point combinations, we will explore: Clinical reasoning, Treatment strategies, Menstrual disorders, Fertility enhancement, IVF support, Case-based learning, and hands-on clinical training.

I hope to create a learning environment where practitioners not only expand their knowledge but also gain the confidence to think critically and treat complex clinical cases with greater clarity. This is very much a labor of love, built upon decades of clinical practice, teaching, and mentoring. We will meet online once every two weeks for 3 hours each class, plus scheduled time to meet face to face for hands-on practice in person (TBA).

Over the coming months, I'll be sharing clinical pearls, reflections, and updates on the times and dates for this mentorship. If this resonates with you, I'd love to have you follow the journey.

Warmly,
Dr. Georgette Young, DAOM

五香酒 Five-Fragrance Alcohol (Aoyao - Medicinals)
Five-Fragrance Alcohol

“Heaven sent down its fattening dews; earth sent forth its springs of sweet wine; hills produced implements and chariots; the He sent forth the horse with the map. Phoenixes and Qilin were among the trees of the suburbs, tortoises and dragons in the ponds of the palaces….”

-excerpt from Li Yun, the Ceremonial Usages-

Wine or more accurately translated as liquor has a history that stretches back to the beginning of Chinese civilization. And the God of Liquor, Du Kang [杜康], has been venerated for thousands of years, making Clear Liquor [bai jiu 白酒], together with tea a must-have household item of Chinese society ever since. Some amounts taken internally serve not only longevity purposes, but can also relieve or resolve pain, if the correct and suitable Chinese herbs are steeped in it. Following is the practical experience of making such a herbal alcohol, called the Five Fragrances Liniment] inspired by Lorraine Wilcox’s post on facebook. It is very convenient, not time consuming and cost-effective. Altogether It cost 75 NZ $ for the alcohol [1l of vodka] and the herbs.

Furthermore this liniment can be made even by the inexperienced non- Chinese Medicine practitioner, for any kind of aches, sprains, pains, tendon, ligament injures for friends and family

Five Fragrances Liniment contains the following ingredients:

Ru Xiang [乳香] 18g
Ding Xiang [丁香] 18g
Tan Xiang [檀香] 18g
Xiao Hui Xiang [小茴香] 18g
Mu Xiang [木香] 18g
Dang Gui [当归] 60g
Chuan Xiong [川芎] 48g
Su Mu [苏木] 48g
Niu Xi [牛膝] 48g
Hong Hua [红花] 30g
Clear High Percentage Spirits [bai jiu白酒] 1litre

In the States I would recommend ever clear at least over 50%; more than 60% is even better. Sorghum [gao liang 高粱]-based is the best type. In some countries it is impossible to obtain high percentage alcohol such as Mexico, Germany and New Zealand, therefore high percentage vodka can be used as substitute. It is not advised to use absinth because it is made with a herb called wormwood and therefore has its own set of therapeutic action which are actually unwanted in this liniment. In my case Mu Xiang [木香] and Tan Xiang [檀香] were unavailable at Tong Ren Tang New Zealand and therefore replaced with Jiang Xiang [降香] 50g.

The Making

Cut the herbs into smaller pieces and place into a porcelain jar, pour the white liquor into the jar covering the herbs. Seal the outside with mud from yellow earth. Shake the bottle three time for ten days, then bury the porcelain jar about one meter deep [this step can be skipped, or replaced by storing the jar in a cellar or the jar can be buried just in the ground as many do not have the property to be digging one meter deep holes]. Cover the site with straw. After thirty days dig up the jar and filter out the herbal liquor. Wring the dregs in a cheesecloth to squeeze out the remaining liquor soaked up by the dregs.

Its Usage

Its functions are to quicken blood, disperse stasis, disperse swelling and stop pain. And its applications are to treat swelling, pain, fractures, dislocations, bruising, low back strains and rib pain.
