On Saturday, Asheville’s Daoist Traditions College of Chinese Medical Arts hosted a community open house.
“We give pataients new perspectives on health and healing,” said Kristin Hill, a rising fourth-year student and clinical intern. “Our medicine focuses on the mind-body-spirit connection, bringing awareness to the patients of their own abilities to heal.”
Visitors streamed into the Daoist Traditions College Acupuncture Clinic on 222 South French Broad Avenue to experience an array of alternative treatments, including cupping, tui na massage and gua sha, as well as pulse diagnosis, lectures on the benefits of healing arts, Chinese medicine and sampling herbal teas. As part of the Great American Smokeout, the clinic also offered National Acupuncture Detoxification Protocol, a special series of ear acupuncture treatments to help smokers kick the habit.
