Articles from the Huang Ti
Articles from the Huang Ti
Four times a year, our member magazine Huang Ti is published: an inspiring and content-rich magazine, specially compiled for and by our members. In each edition, you will find in-depth articles, practical experiences, and current developments within acupuncture and related fields.
We would like to highlight a selection of articles from each edition that are also of interest beyond the association. This way, we share relevant insights and practical experiences from our field, and also offer non-members the opportunity to get acquainted with the content and depth of acupuncture.
Spring Edition 2026:
In the latest spring edition of the Huang Ti, NVA acupuncturist Anita Blaauw shares her personal account of the World Congress on Traditional, Complementary and Integrative Medicine in Rio de Janeiro. An inspiring story about building bridges between East and West, and the growing role of integrative care worldwide.
In this article from the spring edition of Huang Ti, NVA member Trudy Maurer takes you into the world of this remarkable plant. You will discover its rich symbolism and how it is applied in areas such as stress, sleep issues, and meditation. A beautiful example of how ancient knowledge remains relevant today.
Summer Edition 2026:
In this personal article, Ricky Bochem reflects on the therapeutic encounter within the acupuncture practice. Drawing on his clinical experience and studies in Mindfulness Studies, he explores how important it is to not only see complaints and treatment strategies but, above all, the person behind the patient. A vulnerable and profound contribution on presence, trust, compassion, and the healing power of genuine contact.
The transition: for many women, a phase full of questions, changes, and sometimes complaints. But what if we don't just view it as something difficult, but also as a period of reorientation, depth, and new energy? In the summer edition of Huang Ti, we speak with acupuncturist and Qigong instructor Merel van Bockxmeer. She has been supporting women with transition-related issues for years and authored the book The Transition, Your Second Spring.
