The Quiet Battle of Becoming

Sometimes I write selfish pages. Not out of greed, nor vanity — no. I write them as if whispering to myself in the dark, so I don’t forget. Because forgetting is easy. The noise of the world is thick, sticky, clinging to the skin and numbing the senses. And in this blur of days, of duties, of silences swallowed whole, I must remind myself of what truly matters. Life isn’t a straight line, nor a grand revelation. It is a slow unravelling, a peeling away of what isn’t yours until you find what is.

Advancements in research bring new insights, refine techniques, and introduce innovative approaches to treatment.

Among the key takeaways were newly identified acupuncture points and updated somatotopies, reflecting the ever-expanding understanding of the body's response to needling. This practical dimension of medical acupuncture has always intr...
