Hey all, it's Jon McDonell, your friendly neighborhood Acupuncturist here. As some of you may know, in addition to my Acupuncture practice I also teach Foundations of Chinese Medicine at MacEwan University. I recently created a resource for my students to help them make sense of the long history Chinese Medicine has. I thought that some of my patients might find it interesting as well, so I am uploading here to share with you all! This PDF walks you through the early origins of Chinese Medicine all the way through to modern practice.
Enjoy!

I read the blog about the history of acupuncture and Chinese medicine and found it interesting how old ideas about healing still matter today in simple, real ways. It reminded me of a time I had a big write-up due and I used assignment editing service UK so I could finish early and still take time to think about what I was learning. That made me see that getting support can help you understand things more deeply.
