Healing in Death
Description
EJOM (2006), Franglen, Nora.
Abstract
This article (first published in MeridiansVol. 2 No. 2) is a personal account of the author’s experience, as a Five-Element acupuncturist, in treating a young patient suffering from advanced cancer. Given the strong emotions and unresolved conflicts exposed by the proximity of death, the author’s role as acupuncturist overlapped with that of counsellor, both being required to give the patient some peace of mind as death approached. The account points up the fact that, even when treatment could give only the slightest respite to the patient’s body, acupuncture had the ability work effectively at the level of the mind and spirit.
