In this podcast episode:
Toby’s introduction to Saam while traveling in India and perchance meeting a Korean wandering monk beats any “entry to the medicine” story I have ever heard!
We talk a bit about the wandering monks and what their lifestyle looks like.
Toby presents an acupuncture case study where the patient has severe Inflammatory Bowel Disease that was unresponsive to western pharmaceutical medications.
We journey thru this case thru the lens of Sa’am acupuncture which is based on yin/yang, five phases and six conformations.
Lastly, Toby discusses his 4 needle selections with a brief description of why he chose them.
Then we follow up with how the treatment plan went and how his patient is doing now.
