Day 13

Dr. Li showed us some Tuina massage today. We were shown the arm movements and hand placement for just a basic Tuina massage. It seemed closer to what our normal massages are back home. But it also did use pressure to dig into the meridians and release chi. Another difference is that this massage can be done almost anywhere. It can be done with clothes on and no massage oil. Which makes this form very versatile. We also visited a traditional Chinese medicine hospital. Although this was not a traditional hospital, it basically was just a doctors office that also had a pharmacy. We all got to be looked at by the doctor and diagnosed. I don’t know how right he was in what’s wrong with us but it was interesting. We were also shown the different herbs they had and what medicines they would be used for.
