Course Description:

Chinese Medicine can be practiced in such a way as to balance the impact of the great challenges we face today and to create an integral understanding and treatment of human health. In this three day course, we will explore the most significant imbalances of our time and show how Chinese Medicine can, in the largest possible developmental context, alleviate suffering and re-connect the individual to their original nature. Constitutional Diagnosis will be examined as an organizing framework that yields deep insights into each patient’s treatment and healing. In the ancient text of the Shen Nong Ben Cao, China’s oldest herbal text, it is stated: The highest type of medicine helps the patient fulfill their destiny. The middle type of medicine helps the patient nourish original nature. The lowest type of medicine treats physical illness. Join us while we learn from a master how to serve our patients as ancient healers.
