Course infomation:The course begins with an examination of the classical roots of the tradition, drawing from the Yi Jing, Huang Di Nei Jing, and Nan Jing texts. Theory and concepts from these classical texts will be assembled into a framework of Yin/Yang, Five Phase, and Six Conformation based principles. These principles provide the diagnosis and treatment strategies for the tradition.To move from theory to clinical application, participants will work in groups to apply their newly acquired understanding of theory to case studies. Feedback provided by the instructor and discussion with colleagues will strengthen your grasp of theory. Finally, a special emphasis will be placed on applying the system into your own clinic.
