Conception, equine breeding programs, equine acupuncture points to use.

--> Conception, equine breeding programs, equine acupuncture At the moment of conception there are two forces coming together. There is the physical and the   spirit. The physical creation occurs with the union of the male and female parts from the mother and father.   The quality of the mother is important and the quality of the fathers contribution is also important at this stage.   At his point the Jing is formed. Also the health or otherwise of them at this point and their degree of ‘complementation” is important. The aim is to limit inherited weak characteristics from being passed on, though these may be useful. The spirit   has chosen which parents will suit its purpose of incarnating on the earth and begins the process of transforming what is there into what it needs. This is done by imprinting. The role of imprinting. Another force   that comes into play at the conception is external surroundings. All happenings and ...

Treating dying horses with acupuncture.

This is a beautiful and touching equine acupuncture story. from Lidwine Timmermans in Netherlands: a horsie story. Some other experience this last weekend. Quite emotional and something I never had before. But I just want to share.My friends horse got very sudden laminitis. She had it ones before, but not very bad and she is always very carefull with food and the grass in the field.. Friday I went to see her horse. She also did let the vet come to make pictures. The front hoofs where already tilted. And when I saw her and touched her body she felt like she was already drying up. When I did put in some needles (LI 1, 5, 9 11 points) the needles where almost pushed out immediately. Amazing. I was shure I did put them in well. But I got also very nauseous and got the feeling she was poisoning herself (liver, kidneys). But she felt afraid. Afraid of dying. My friend decided with the vet to put her down. But because of the company that is taking the body away was n...

Treatment of abscess in horse with equine acupuncture

These points may be needled or moxaed. The result is very quick. 1-2 treatments will be needed. Q:  What is the reason for this to work? These points are a long way from an abscess. A: primarily abscess is caused by grief. When the tears cannot be released via the normal method they accumulate, then the toxin of the grief enters the blood and then travels down the leg trying to find a way out. Soon it is very painful. It may break out by itself externally or need help. The points above clear the toxin from the Blood and so disperse the abscess internally. Example; An owner came to me and said horse was lame. I suspected an abscess not yet ripened. i did these points. In morning she said,' I dont know if was the treatment or the Foot bath i gave it but horse is not lame now.' Another example from a beginning student; 6 year old mare with a history of foot abscesses showed up dead lame. very tender a back of heel on forelimb. Diagnosis of ...

Acupuncture treatment of sandcrack in horse

Before pictures of sandcrack After pictures of sandcrack :; Story: from Ken Glaser ;attached are two before pictures of an old coronary band injury..  In the second picture look for scar that travels through the coronary band and back to the heel bulb.  We took in this mare a little over two years ago as a twelve year old.  The injury itself occurred sometime between foaling and the age of six when Oakey must have stepped on something very sharp cutting through the hoof and into the coronary band and heel bulb.  It was at six that the family we got Oakey from took possession.  The previous owner told us that they managed the split through regular trimming, yet I believe the injury caused regular pain.  Winter proved to be the time of year that exacerbated the problem.  The second winter with us her hoof split so bad there was bleeding and no surprise Oakey literally walked on three legs.  This is when I started to loo...

EFT example

By LaVaughn Hengst I'm an American living in Germany and have followed with interest all the developments in Energy Psychology in the last 3 years since I first came in contact with your homepage. I have a B.A. in Psychology (U. of Ill.), am a Heilpraktikerin for Psychology and a Heilpraktikerin and Acupuncturist for animals in Germany. I not telling you this to impress you - I mention it only to make clear why the development of EFT in regard to animals is of particular interest to me. Even though animals do have meridians and points, the best way to do EFT for animals supposedly is by surrogate or proxy tapping. This means you tap on yourself to make the changes in the animal happen. (I'm sure that you're familiar with all of this by now.) Even though the animal doesn't even have to be near you or connected to you in anyway, supposedly the 2 energy systems are connected. This supports a basic idea of TCM in that "one's every action influences everyone ...

Which Laser would you recommend for horses?

I personally would not recommend you use laser. Just the same in certain circumstances it is useful. Using it often will inhibit your ability to develop acupuncture sensation skills as well as point location skills. Acupuncture needling sensation is a beautiful sensation to be a part of. I would rather recommend people learn this. If they do not feel comfortable with this then they can do moxa or acupressure and then laser. Having a laser will not give you any skills and does not give a guarantee of any success. Just like with needling successful results can only be achieved by correct point usage for the condition. Just doing lasering or even needling will not achieve any result. Knowledge of the points is necessary and also knowledge which does work. There are many treatment prescriptions out there which do not work and you may very well be disappointed in the results. Uses of lasers. Lasers can be useful in horses which do not like needling or for people who do not like to ...

How does equine acupuncture work.

It does not work via nerves or some physical chemical or irritant response. Here is the best way I know to explain how it works. Consider your house. Flowing through it is air. You cannot see it but you can feel it and you certainly know when it is not there. Within the body are also flowing airs. As you breath you are making them also ‘breath” and flow. You cannot see them. You cannot cut them and you cannot find them in a dead body. As they flow they irrigate the parts of the physical body that they flow by and have also a effect on the blood flow. They are the intelligence of the body, ‘body intelligence’. These airs are what is called chi, meaning Life or life-force. Acupuncture has mapped these airs in detail and learned how to make use of them. Back to our house example. If you lock the doors and windows and go away for a week or two when you return it is very stuffy . This is like an illness in the body. Clearing the illness is akin to opening the doors and windows in th...
