Amur Medical Students Complete Practice in Traditional Chinese Medicine

September 4, 2026

In the Department of Gastroenterology, students were shown how China approaches treatment "from the inside". The main tool is not pills at all, but a special bowl with dried wormwood. We performed a procedure of moxotherapy (warming) through the navel (Shenque point). At the same time, the students were shown how to put needles in biologically active points responsible for digestion. For example, at the point "Zu-san-li" on the leg and "Zhong-wan" on the stomach.

In the department of the rehabilitation center, students were shown a real master class on the restoration of the musculoskeletal system. The methods that local doctors apply to patients after injuries are fundamentally different from the exercise therapy we are used to. Here the emphasis is on soft manual technique and the restoration of energy flows.

But the most valuable thing was my personal experience: the doctor-teacher conducted a personal consultation for each of our students! The children received a professional analysis of posture, diagnosis of scoliosis and the causes of back pain. Everyone was given specific recommendations and even shown sets of exercises to perform at home.

Traditional Chinese medicine is not about a "magic pill", but about a systematic approach. Here they treat not a disease, but a person: they correct energy, meridians and physics at the same time.
