In the heart of Beirut, a clinic has been offering acupuncture treatments for more than 30 years. This center of healing is run by Jamil Hodeib, the first Lebanese student to have studied in China and the country’s inaugural acupuncturist.
At a time when traditional Chinese medicine was unfamiliar in Lebanon, Jamil embarked on a journey to China, immersing himself in the ancient practice of acupuncture. His dedication not only paved the way for his personal growth but also introduced a new form of therapy to his homeland.
Since establishing his clinic, Jamil has been a bridge between cultures, sharing the benefits of Chinese acupuncture with the people of Lebanon. His work has provided alternative healthcare options and fostered a deeper appreciation for global medical traditions.
Jamil’s story is one of passion and pioneering spirit, highlighting the profound impact one individual can have in bringing together different worlds through the common goal of healing.
