When cultures moving from East to West or vice versa, we tend to standardize it for our own taste. Acupuncture has been practicing in the U.S. for some decades, undergoing its own face-lifting in many ways. I respect the energetic difference between here and Korea where I am from but still like to maintain the core philosophy of Oriental Medicine. One word, it is compassion, which is the virtue an acupuncturist should have with his/her patients. Without it one just become a Biller rather than a Healer.
