TCM
Basics: Exploring the foundations of traditional Chinese medicine,
acupuncture and the meridian system
Learn the theory of traditional Chinese medicine – a discipline that
includes acupuncture, medicinal herbs and tuina massage. This 50
hour course will explore the concepts and physiology of Qi (a
central theme in Chinese medical theory); blood and body fluids; shen
and Mingmen; yin and yang; five elements and the 8 principles –
especially heat-cold and deficiency-excess. Students will also receive
practical instruction as they are introduced to basic concepts of the
complex network of meridians and collaterals. These systems integrate
the body’s energy into a unified organism. Students will also learn
how to locate pressure points as well as the functions and
disharmonies of organs.
As
a general interest course or as a foundation for further studies in
acupuncture, medicinal herbs or tuina, this course bridges the gap
between Western medicine and Eastern medical theory.
