Nora Franglen's Blog: Wearing people down with Fire's smiles
http://norafranglen.blogspot.com/2015/07/wearing-people-down-with-fires-smiles.html
Tuesday, July 28, 2015. Wearing people down with Fire's smiles. The trouble with being Fire is that I share Fire’s burden of always needing to communicate with other people wherever I am. I can do this through speech, of course, but communicating through our eyes is just as, if not more, powerful. Each element has its own burdens. Fire’s are associated with its overwhelming need to relate to others. It is far easier to write about what affects our own element. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). An examp...

Nora Franglen's Blog: Rats respond emotionally to acupuncture
http://norafranglen.blogspot.com/2015/07/rats-respond-emotionally-to-acupuncture.html
Thursday, July 23, 2015. Rats respond emotionally to acupuncture. It's good to hear of scientific proof that acupuncture works, even if only in rats. In an article in the Guardian (22 July 2015), researchers in the States found that the acupuncture point St 36 reduced “chronic stress-induced depressive and anxious behaviour in animals". And also, that it is not only St 36, but many, many other points which do this. August 11, 2015 at 2:42 PM. August 26, 2015 at 4:06 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

http://norafranglen.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 30, 2015. Cutting diagnostic corners in China. When we were students, we were always being told that we must allow our patients plenty of time to get to know us as practitioners so that they feel safe to start talking honestly about the problems they face in life and the help that they are really asking for. Time is the one thing we cannot ask for, since we are only there for a few days, and in those few days we are expected to achieve so much. Students carrying out a diagnosis are expect...

Nora Franglen's Blog: Hot desking
http://norafranglen.blogspot.com/2015/07/hot-desking.html
Thursday, July 30, 2015. What a very odd term this is, some of my readers may say. It is one I heard for the first time a few days ago, but is apparently one used by all modern office workers. It appears that it is very common now for those working in offices to share desk space with others. Presumably the term has something to do with keeping an office space warm for another person. They stay there only as long as they need to, placing their things for safekeeping in a personal locker before leaving work.

Nora Franglen's Blog: Treatment of a case of severe psoriasis
http://norafranglen.blogspot.com/2015/07/treatment-of-case-of-severe-psoriasis.html
Wednesday, July 1, 2015. Treatment of a case of severe psoriasis. I am always happy to receive confirmation from my practice that the simplest of treatments is the most effective. So many acupuncturists complicate their treatments by selecting all kinds of complex combinations of points, when, as I always say, the mantra “the simpler the better” always holds good in five element acupuncture. When I first saw her, the whole of her body was covered with large bright-red psoriatic patches of skin. Her recov...

Nora Franglen's Blog: Little happy happenings
http://norafranglen.blogspot.com/2015/07/little-happy-happenings.html
Wednesday, July 8, 2015. A few days ago, as I walked to pick up my daily newspaper, a series of happy happenings occurred which made my day start with a smile. It was a sunny day, too, which always helps. First I met an old man whose path has crossed with mine before, but with whom I have never exchanged a word. For some reason, perhaps because of the sunny day, we both stopped, commented on the weather and then passed on, wishing each other a good day. By chance I was heading to the. Academy, too,.

Nora Franglen's Blog: Decision fatigue
http://norafranglen.blogspot.com/2015/06/decision-fatigue.html
Wednesday, June 24, 2015. Each element is subject to its own stresses. Mine relate to the functions of the Small Intestine within the Fire element. We know that its task is to protect the Heart, its close companion, by making sure that it only allows the pure through. This involves the never-ending work of screening everything coming to it before it allows it to pass. Physically, of course, this means its work in filtering out impurities in the blood,. The Small Intestine must constantly. With the years,...

http://norafranglen.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 29, 2015. Anybody who knows anything about me knows that I do a lot of my thinking and writing in coffee bars around. There is one in particular that I now treat as a kind of home from home, and I want to write about it because it is nearly the last of its kind in central. It is called Stefano’s Snack Bar and is at. 56 New Cavendish Street. W1, half-way between. It is run by an Italian family, father, mother and son, Stefano himself being the son, with Giorgio and Santina his parents. Each ...

Nora Franglen's Blog: "Music is no more than a decoration of silence"
http://norafranglen.blogspot.com/2015/07/music-is-no-more-than-decoration-of.html
Wednesday, July 1, 2015. Music is no more than a decoration of silence". I have just been to a lovely series of concerts by students at the Royal Academy of Music here in. Hearing some of the most beautiful playing of music that I have heard for a long time. There was one particular young Polish pianist, Martyna Kazmierczak, who enthralled me with the joy with which she played. In her introduction to her pieces, she quoted an anonymous 15.
