Treating Inflammatory Bowel Disease With Saam Acupuncture: Acusprout podcast with Toby Daly PhD, LAc

In this podcast episode:

  • Toby’s introduction to Saam while traveling in India and perchance meeting a Korean wandering monk beats any “entry to the medicine” story I have ever heard!

  • We talk a bit about the wandering monks and what their lifestyle looks like.

  • Toby presents an acupuncture case study where the patient has severe Inflammatory Bowel Disease that was unresponsive to western pharmaceutical medications.

  • We journey thru this case thru the lens of Sa’am acupuncture which is based on yin/yang, five phases and six conformations.

  • Lastly, Toby discusses his 4 needle selections with a brief description of why he chose them.

  • Then we follow up with how the treatment plan went and how his patient is doing now.
