About this episode
Andreas Brüch discusses the application of Saam acupuncture in treating colds and coughs, emphasizing clinical clarity and targeted treatments.
Seasonal colds move like shifting weather through the body—from icy surface invasion to lingering damp in the lungs. In this Shop Talk conversation, Andreas Brüch shares how Saam acupuncture maps these changes with clarity and precision. We explore how Taiyang strategies open the surface at the earliest stage, why the Urinary Bladder meridian can be used even when patients feel chilled, and how Lung and Yangming treatments help once the cold moves deeper. You learn about differentiating fluids—dry, wet, hot, or cold—guides point selection, and how reversing Cheung Bu combinations can dry dampness or moisten dryness effectively. In this Shop Talk conversation with Andreas Brüch, we explore treating colds and coughs through the lens of Saam acupuncture. Andreas has spent decades traveling between Germany and Korea, studying the ways that six qi, five phases, and the nuances using the four-needle technique. His approach is practical, rooted in clinical clarity, and shaped by a deep appreciation for how simple, targeted treatments can bring the system back into a healthy balance.
