Open Houses, Seminars & Expos, Oh My!
October was quite a busy month for PIHMA as we celebrated Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine (AOM) Day, provided an educational seminar with renowned author Lonny Jarrett, joined the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts for their annual Holistic Health Gathering, performed acupuncture on over 200 attendees at the Ultimate Women's Expo, and appeared on Channel 3's Your Life A to Z! PIHMA aims to educate the public about the benefits of AOM as it is the world's most widely used form of integrative, complementary and compatible medicine. Acupuncture is highly effective, cost-effective and safe, it's no wonder this medicine is so popular and widespread!

In this course open to all, participants will learn:
- The "Lifting the Sky" and "Carrying the Moon" Qi Gong exercises.

Herbal Formula of the Month
Bao He Wan - "Preserve Harmony Pill" or "Pill to Harmonize the Stomach"
It is November, a time of Thanksgiving dinners, the occasional overeating and overfilled stomachs. This holiday season if you are feeling a bit overstuffed from all those wonderful dinners, than Bao He Wan may be for you. Just as the name suggests, this little Chinese herbal formula is perfect for those occasional bouts of enjoying too much Thanksgiving dinner and other holiday goodies. Bao He Wan can be used for abdominal distention, minor pain, bas, belching, nausea, vomiting, constipation or diarrhea due to over eating*. The herbs in the formula relieve food stagnation, harmonize the Stomach, improve digestion from meat and fatty foods, strengthen the Spleen, and restore the feeling of great tranquility to the entire digestive system. Many Chinese families keep Bao He Wan in house as a first aid medicine, and carry it when traveling.
To see if Bao He Wan is right for you, call the PIHMA clinic today at 602.274.1885 for an Herbal Consultation. Because everyone is different, raw herbs and formulas are only sold after consultation with an herbal intern to create the appropriate formula for you.

Qi Gong Move - Push Up the Heavens
From a relaxed standing position, with the hands at your sides and feet shoulder-width apart, inhale deeply and raise both extended arms in broad arcs to either side of the body, the hands coming to an overlapping position above the head, palms up.
Pushing your palms towards the sky and holding the breath in low in the abdomen, rise up on your toes.
After holding your breath for a comfortable count, return your heels to the ground and exhale slowly as your arms drop in broad arcs back to your sides.
Repeat.
PIHMA's Community Qi Gong Class is held on Mondays from 5:00pm - 5:55pm. ($10 drop-in)

Dr. Shi Visit Canceled
Due to circumstances beyond our control, PIHMA is cancelling the Drs. Shi and Bian Clinical Grand Rounds and Lecture series planned for later this month. Instead we will start hosting a series of Clinical Grand Rounds highlighting the hidden Masters in our community here in Arizona. There is an exceptional pool of highly talented acupuncturists within our state. Some of these Arizona practitioners are Doctors with extensive training in China, and/or have with decades of experience practicing TCM, and who have thriving private practices. We are inviting them out of their practices to share their expertise and talents with you in the collaborative clinical or practice management setting. This will no doubt be an exciting opportunity for all. For more information, contact Jonathan Lindsey at jlindsey@pihma.edu.
