Today I was joined by the brilliant Larissa Mosca to discuss all things related to acupuncture and eastern philosophy. This includes what could be causing a growth of acupuncture in the west, western doctors and medicine, energising yourself, and more.
Larissa is a fully qualified traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) acupuncturist, having graduated with first class honours from Manchester Metropolitan University. She runs her own practice just outside of Preston which I often attend.
