Episode 28: Traditional Chinese Medicine 101 — Acupuncture, Gua Sha, Yin-Yang, Herbology, and the Elements (feat. Sara Sas, L.Ac.) 🪡🌿

Mood: wellness, education, learning something cool

Welcome to the world of TCM — traditional Chinese medicine — including acupuncture, herbology (yes, like Harry Potter, but REAL!), gua sha, cupping, tongue diagnosis, yin and yang, elements, and more. Licensed acupuncturist and face reader Sara Sas, L.Ac. of Beauty Point By Point in La Jolla, CA, guides us through an educational-yet-accessible introduction to this ancient, fascinating world of wellness. With her ‘western’ medicine background (she was an EMT!) and ‘eastern’ specialization, she is able to see how the two worlds work together — and help patients heal themselves.

Sara explains the benefits of Chinese medicine, the modalities available for treatment, and why this might work better for you than allopathic treatment (or, at least, in conjunction with it).
