It’s Black History month! We pay tribute to our community acupuncture roots, a fascinating and often omitted history.
“Guns, berets and leather jackets are what many folks typically associate with the Black Panther Party. But the Black Panthers were instrumental in bringing healthcare to neglected communities.” What else did the Panthers bring? Community Acupuncture.
In 1972 co-founder of the Black Panther party, Huey P Newton was invited to visit China months before Nixon, and returned with a community acupuncture model, and later a 5 point ear protocol that we use today in our clinics. Check out this informative short video for details.
