@med08 when I go to my Accupuncturist she may ask what I’d like to work on, but since she is a 5 element Accupuncturist, she usually takes my pulses and works on the meridians that are deficient. However, since I have had this discovery of having an NTM of some kind, she also works specifically on the lung meridians.

5 element acupuncturists work to balance the whole body. That whole body balance is a theory that if the body is in balance, it can heal itself. The 5 element acupuncturists also have to know Traditional Chinese acupuncture. I’m not exactly sure how they are different from each other because google AI also says the traditional Chinese method also works to balance the body.
