The blog offers informative, research-based posts concerning the latest news in acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine, the benefits of the ancient practice of healing for a variety of conditions, and healthy living, while illustrating the differences in training among practitioners.

“More than half of the practitioners offering acupuncture in the USA are certified after only receiving 300 hours or less of abbreviated training,” said TryAcupuncture.org and Weekly Cup of Qi founder Elie Goldschmidt, L.Ac.“ He says “licensed acupuncturists, on the other hand, have accrued over 2,000 hours of education in acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine. The general public often has no idea about the vast differences in qualifications.

In addition to advocating the importance of visiting qualified professionals, Weekly Cup of Qi disseminates information on how acupuncture relates to specific conditions, such as osteoarthritis, depression, PMS, and more. Engaging posts concerning celebrity acupuncture fans, studies on the efficacy of acupuncture, and breaking holistic health news, round out the bill.

Weekly Cup of Qi combines Eastern and Western philosophies, research, and principles to provide well-rounded, valuable information and insight into acupuncture.
