Acupuncture from my clinic, taught course by course
Every course gives you at least one acupuncture skill you can use with your next patient.
I am Michal Richter, MD. For 25 years I have practiced only acupuncture, 20 to 30 patients a day. Every course here is a method I use on those patients: how I read the person, how I choose the points, and how I check the result before they leave. The courses exist because the methods worked in my treatment room first.
One system, several layers
Stems and Branches is the foundation. On top of it I add Dynamic Acupuncture, The Chain and Luo points when a symptom needs more. The pulse decides and checks every step.
Stems and Branches: the whole person
Stems and Branches is my main system. From the date of birth I read a person's inborn tendencies on four levels, confirm them on the pulse and treat the level that is out of balance. It works on the whole person: shen, qi and jing. Everything else on this page I add on top of it.
Stems and Branches Acupuncture: The Complete System
Diagnosis: the birth chart on four levels, confirmed on the pulse. Treatment: points for the level the pulse shows. Result: the patient leaves with one thing to practice at home. The six-volume ebook series is optional at checkout.
Dynamic Acupuncture: regulation through the yuan points
When the nervous system stays on alert, symptoms keep coming back. I read the weakest position on the pulse, use the yuan points to bring the system back to balance, and check the pulse again during the same visit. Often the patient feels it right away, in the body and in the mind.
Dynamic Acupuncture: How to Use the Yuan Points
Diagnosis: the pulse in twelve positions. Treatment: yuan source points that bring the nervous system back to its baseline settings. Result: patients often feel the change after a few minutes.
The Chain: the movement shows the meridian
For pain that shows up in movement. The patient shows me the movement that hurts, the movement points to the sinew meridian, I needle two points, and we repeat the same movement during the same visit.
The Chain: Movement Diagnosis and Two-Point Treatment
Diagnosis: movement analysis in six phases for each region of the body. Treatment: two points. Result: the change is often felt within a minute, confirmed by the same movement test.
Luo Points: how a person carries their life
Luo points are usually taught as points for emotions. I use them one level deeper: as a state of consciousness, how a person experiences life and what they keep from it. For each Luo meridian: excess, deficiency and the point to use.
Luo Points: Point Combinations and the Luo Cycle of Consciousness
Luo points as a state of consciousness: the twelve Luo meridians as stages from survival to the mental level, what each looks like in a patient, and five ways to combine Luo points.
The pulse: two courses
Every method above is chosen and checked on the pulse. Pulse Diagnosis takes you through the twelve positions. Five Elements in the Pulse reads the constitution as one dominant element.
Pulse Diagnosis: The Twelve Positions
Twelve positions on the wrist, each assessed for strength, tension and filling. The reading becomes the treatment decision, and the pulse after needling shows whether it changed.
Cold, wind and blood
Two books about strengthening yang and blood: why cold, wind and a lack of blood weaken a person, and what the patient can do at home. More understanding and more practical advice than the textbooks give, written so you can hand them to your patients.
Two shorter methods
Each one answers a single clinical question and fits into a normal visit.
2-Point Acupuncture: Excess and Deficiency in Two Needles
The excess the patient shows you, and the deficiency behind it at one of four levels. One point reduces the excess, one strengthens the deficiency.
Taught because it works in my clinic
I did not design these courses for a platform. Each one is a method I use on my own patients every week. When something keeps working in my treatment room, I teach it.
I teach what I use on my own patients
I am Michal Richter, MD. For 25 years I have practiced only acupuncture, 20 to 30 patients a day, in a busy clinic in Poland. I have taught practitioners since 2009.
Every method on this platform works the same way in my clinic: a diagnosis that decides the points, a short treatment, and a check of the result before the patient leaves. Six phases of movement or the twelve pulse positions show where to work; the re-test or the pulse shows what changed.
The courses are short on purpose. Each one teaches one method, filmed on real patients.
