Secondary Segmental Relations

[kongen]

Hi!

Does anyone here have any knowledge about this? SSR, SRS.. any info on this (online texts, books etc) would be helpful. Curious to know more about this, if there is any substance in it.. :)

Regards,

I had never heard of this phrase, Anders; after a hunt there seems to be quite a bit published online but nothing recent. (1970s and 80s).

Maybe someone else can point to a recent study.

Hi Anders :



Secondary segmental modulations:
In acupuncture we often use the "distant points" on the distal parts of the extremities very successfully to influence problems of the trunk and the viscerae. We shall see that many of these effects can be explained via the "secondary segmental relations" in the autonomic nervous system. If time permits we shall explain the anti-arrythmic and anti-emetic effects of PC6 in a neuro-physiological way.
We hope that you will enjoy our workshop, and that you can pick up some ideas, helping you to bridge the gap between modern medicine and TCM, and to choose the best of both!


Cheers
