The Jing-Luo (Meridians and collaterals) System (80 hours)

It is not too late to register for this fascinating course as a stand-alone, general interest course or as a required course in our acupuncture diploma program.

With Bill 50 (the bill regulating TCM and acupuncture) passing last month, there is a boost in interest in the acupuncture diploma program as practitioners now know they will be working towards a protected title - acupuncturist.

About this course: As a stand-alone, general interest course or as a required course in the acupuncture diploma program, this course of study presents the complex network of meridians and collaterals that integrate the body's energy and functions into a unified organism. It outlines the formation, function and clinical significance of channel theory, the distribution and pathology of 12 primary channels, the muscle regions and cutaneous regions, plus a summary of research concerning the channels.
