ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

Saturday & Sunday September 1st and 2nd 2012

9.00am to 5.30 pm each day

First we will take a fresh look and learn how to diagnose each of the 5 main roots of our human tree:

• The kidney essence: Functions of reproduction and development, body temperature, body defense and anti-stress mechanism.
• The nutrient Blood: Functions of digestive tract, pancreas and liver.
• The Qi or energy: Functions of external force: muscular-skeletal system and internal force: respiratory, circulatory, digestive and uro-genital systems
• The Shen or spirit: Functions of central and autonomic nervous system, circulatory system, and thyroid metabolism.
• Body fluids: Functions of absorption and secretion.

We will look at Shen from the perspective of the 5 elements and recognize how mental emotional disturbances and the physical symptoms associated with them arise.

We will learn to recognize Yin and Yang imbalances and their symptoms, in the 5 elements and in each organ system.

We will identify the major acupuncture points and herbal medicine for each of our main systems and establish treatment strategies to regulate Qi through the 5 elements.
