New York City has many Chinese neighborhoods (Chinatown, 8th Ave Brooklyn, Flushing) where TCM practices are ingrained in daily life... it makes me feel like there was some inherent biases that kept the production away from digging a little deeper for better Chinese or Chinese-American representation. This video is titled 5 days of holistic medicine, but it narrows in on Traditional Chinese Medicine, which is okay. But in doing so, why did it remove the "traditional" part, totally disregarding the history, culture, and meaning behind TCM. Only focusing on ONE female practitioner (and she doesn't discuss "chi") seems like a narrow lens.

I kinda do agree with the rest of the comments. Overall a very interesting video but there's a lot of things that are missing. Being half Chinese, I'm more aware of everything TCM related. For example, I would have loved seeing Lucy go to a TCM doctor that would have listening or felt her radial pulse before doing acupuncture, instead of just asking questions about what she wanted to work on. In my opinion it's a great video for an brief and simplified view for the large public on TCM but doesn't show the overall and multidimensional aspects of this type of medecine.

As a Chinese person my parents get that cup treatment every Friday. It helps remove toxins and encourage blood circulation. Also you need to bathe before the cupping because you can take a bath after it. My father is a heavy smoker and every time he does the cupping, the circles around his lungs, arms and lower back are particularly dark,nearly purple. Ever since he quit smoking the circles are red at most, pink is best,which means you are healthy.

I think the key to acupuncture is going to some one reputable and being very communicative with your acupuncturist of everything that’s going on with you.

My acupuncturist I saw when I first got sick with s litany of rare chronic health problems and pain diseases, majority incurable and untreatable, I did acupuncture, electrostim, cupping, and guasha at 15 yrs old in 2005 before it was "cool". Unfortunately it became less effective over 7-10 years as my dystonia and extreme muscle spasms and trigger points were so bad that I needed and get Botox every 2-3 months. My muscles are so tight my doctor (MD) said it's like injecting into a brick wall so for the past couple years I go impatient and get put out under full anaesthesia. I get 600 units!!! From natural waist all the way up my entire back, shoulders, rhomboids, traps, etc and full head...suboccipitals, forehead (chronic headaches since 14...nice being a Type A perfectionist), pterygoids and masseters for jaw clenching. And even then for my other incurable and untreatable chronic pain diseases wgich I've been to all the top ranked hospitals all over the country, some 2-3x and consulted with actual scientists and pioneers in their fields...I still need opioids to function or I'd be bedridden. And with this false opioid epidemic, chronic pain sufferers are being denied care and meds...instead suicide has skyrocketed...and I waa there after my doctor committed patient abandonment over the holidays with no substitute doctor in 2017 and I had nothing for almost a year. Worst year of my life. I was ready to commit suicide last Nov as 11 pain clinics and doctors said I wasn't worth potentially risking their license even though I was successfully on the opioids for almost 3 years. And I've tried every non opioid drugs and therapies and alternative medicine and modalities. Anyways, my acupuncturist is white. 65 yrs old. Teaches at major colleges in WI and Chicago. Practicing for 30+ years. 3rd Dan in martial arts. They don't have to be Asian.

@@gundimytube It's not racist, it's realistic. A person who has only learnt about certain practises after being trained in a country that has different traditional methods will not have the same knowledge as someone who was born and raised into this culture. It's like saying you're a French cook because you were taught French recipes at school: surely you can recreate them, but you won't have the centuries-old recipe books passed down in your family with hand-written advice from your ancestors. You won't have all the tips and tricks your family taught you all throughout your life. You won't have the same quality ingredients if they're not a part of your own country's culture. You won't have the habit of using certain spices, ingredients, methods, after learning them from decades of watching people doing it. And you won't have the same linking in tastes because you were never used to eating like this. It's not a matter of race, it's a matter of being born and raised in a culture VS learning about it in school or training programs.

It's good that the practitioner in the video tries to explain Chinese medicine in a way that is easier for people who are unfamiliar with Chi or Chinese culture to understand. HOWEVER, I think it is still crucial to explain and understand what Chi is, especially since chi is basically the core of Chinese medicine. The goal of Chinese medicine is to find balance within the body and make sure chi flows nicely (not being stuck somewhere). And without understanding what chi is, I would assume it would be difficult for one to understand the purpose of Chinese medicine.

I find the acupuncturists comments about the ways in which they are "modernizing" chinese medicine to be interesting. I recently graduated with a degree in sociocultural anthropology, and one of my professors had done 8+ years of work/research in china and has been practicing chinese medicine for the 10+ years since, thats almost 20 years of knowledge. He always made it very clear that one of our problems in the west with recognizing chinese medicine is that we expect it to be explainable according to western medicine rules, but it is not. That "electric" feeling she has is called catching the chi, and is not the same as improved circilation. Additionally, meridian points cannot be associated with pathways and nerves we recognize in western medicine, they are not the same. For example, there are many reactions in acupuncture, like putting a needle in your ear and feeling it in say your foot, which cannot be explained by western medicines nerves etc but can be explained with chinese medicine knowledge. The overall point is that these are two SEPARATE and equally valuable knowledge bases, and to try and say that the chinese medicine is easily explained with western concepts and that the traditional language is just different, causes consumers to completely miss a lot of the knowledge chinese medicine has to offer.

I think that when it comes to topics relating to alternative healing practices, especially those from other countries, you want to show it in its most authentic form. Now whether people believe in alternative methods is another conversation.

And adults are even worse at getting seen regularly by their primary doctors just for a check up unless they get really sick. Western medicine isn't all about pills and needles and surgeries. That's just the way most people see it

Exactly. On top of that, labeling modern, evidence-based medicine as "Western" just has a whole lot of baggage, as though other parts of the world don't practice it or haven't contributed in extremely important ways to its advancement.

i got wet cupping done when i went to indonesia to see family and it's really not bad. i was nervous at first but both my mom and dad had done it (my mom multiple times, she freakin loves it haha) so i said why not. it feels really relaxing but i'm not sure of the actual benefits as i feel one time isn't enough to speak on it.

As a TCM practitioner, it is clear that the ones complaining that there aren't any Chinese people in this video have a very narrow view of TCM and do not understand the history or even why it is called Traditional Chinese Medicine. While the origination of TCM is from China, other countries such as Korea, Japan, Taiwan (one could argue they are Chinese but if you ever met a Taiwanese you would understand their absolute frustration with being called Chinese), and a few other South East Asian countries have been practicing Oriental Medicine for HUNDREDS of years. And they too have frustration with it strictly being called TCM internationally. And if you think that Chinese practitioners are frustrated with the lack of representation or that others shouldn't be practicing "their" medicine... you would be dead wrong. The amount of immigrants to western countries and opening up schools to purposely spread this medicine shows the openness to it. Hell, it takes 4 non-stop solid years in a graduate program(!) to be considered a full TCM practitioner in the United States. The Chinese see it has a healing modality that is useful rather than seeing it as something that could be "culturally appropriated". It would be like saying there aren't enough Western Practitioners practicing or representing Western Medicine in Asian countries.

I've been to China and I just heard very little about it , I'm sure it's a thing there but you just really don't see it , I think people are just focused on other things and jobs but if you looked hard enough than maybe but I wouldn't be too disappointed that you don't see any traditionally Chinese practitioners I've only seen like one who continued the treatment fully .
