Dr. Tan's Balance Method Acupuncture-Global Balance Workshop 13-14 December 2025

Dear Colleagues,

The Global Balance Method, developed by Dr. Richard Tan, is a system within the Balance Method of acupuncture that focuses on treating internal diseases and emotional disorders by harmonizing the whole body. It provides a framework for practitioners to design customized treatments based on meridian relationships and offers a way to address complex, multi-symptom conditions like fatigue, insomnia, depression, digestion issues, and asthma. 

Key Concepts:

• Meridian Relationships:

  The method emphasizes the interconnectedness of meridians in the body and utilizes this knowledge to treat imbalances. For example, pain in one area might be addressed by needling a corresponding meridian in a different area, often far from the site of pain. 

• Global Balance:

  This approach aims to restore balance to the entire body, rather than just focusing on local symptoms. 

• Internal Diseases:

  It's particularly useful for addressing internal organ imbalances and emotional disorders that manifest with multiple symptoms. 

• Customized Treatment:

  Practitioners can design specific treatments for individual patients by understanding the relationships between meridians and the patient's unique presentation of symptoms. 

How it Works:

• Mirroring/Opposite Techniques:

  The method uses techniques like mirroring (e.g., treating a foot pain by needling the hand) or opposite points to restore balance. 

• Five Systems:

  The Balance Method includes five systems that help practitioners determine meridian relationships, with systems 1, 2, and 3 based on I-Ching theory and systems 4 and 5 based on the Chinese body clock. 

• Immediate Results:

  A hallmark of the Balance Method is the potential for rapid symptom relief during treatment. 

In essence, the Global Balance Method empowers practitioners to:

• Address complex internal and emotional disorders with a systematic approach.

• Design personalized treatments based on the interconnectedness of the body's meridians.

• Achieve balance and harmony throughout the body, leading to improved overall health and well-being.
