As you know, it is a real pleasure for me to travel around the world teaching Cosmetic Acupuncture, Herbs, Unique Point Functions, and Pulse Diagnosis! I’ve had such wonderful experiences and have so many friends in various places including Alfred, NY where we did a pulse diagnosis study about ” does original qi decline over time in rural areas?” We took lots of pulses and on multiple occasions and a report is forthcoming.
Another really cool thing that happened during those times in Alfred, NY was that I met Kevin and Sarah and was able to experience their hand made Glass Therapy Cups. I even got to see where they are made and meet the artist who makes them. Since I love the people of Alfred, understand the need for more acupuncture to be available in rural areas like Alfred, and know Kevin and Sarah’s vision to make that possible, I decided to tell you about these special cups that you can see for yourself at handmadeholistic.com.
The cups are beautiful and functional. I have had the opportunity to use them since the beginnings of their creation. They are more sturdy than the factory-made cups because they are very carefully crafted by hand and they are solid pieces of glass, not fused together. These cups are basically works of art – you will want to display them rather than keep them in a drawer.
