Ever wondered what it's like to get your first acupuncture session? In our latest Like in China episode, Argentine host Pablo Coppari does exactly that – right here in Buenos Aires! 🙌
We sat down with Doctor Liu Ming, who arrived from mainland China in 2002 to share the wonders of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Over more than two decades, he's treated nearly 30,000 patients in Argentina, including 3,000 doctors and even Pope Jorge Bergoglio. Talk about credibility! 🤯
Pablo's mission? To find relief for his stubbornly sore left ankle, which he twisted badly. As he lay on the table, Dr Liu Ming broke down the basics of TCM:
- Qi: your body's life energy – think of it as your internal battery 🔋
- Meridians: energy pathways that connect organs and tissues 🌐
- Holistic care: treating the mind and body as one, rather than isolated parts 🤝
Needles in place, Pablo felt a mix of calm and curiosity. After just one session, he noticed a relaxing wave and, surprisingly, less tension around his ankle. Could this ancient practice be the remedy for fast-paced city life? 💆♂️
Whether you're chasing wellness trends or just curious about TCM, this episode is a perfect blend of culture, science, and personal discovery. Catch Pablo's full reaction and see if acupuncture could be your next go-to! 🌟
