Course Overview
Tian Gui is not always well understood. This course takes you on a cultural journey from its origins in esoteric theory through to its clinical application in genuine case studies.
In the course we look at its conceptual origins, the 10 heavenly stems and 12 earthly branches, the 28 constellations and the Four Guardian Spirits. Its place in the Five Element system is also discussed.
We examine descriptions and definitions in classic literature, its functions in accordance with Chinese medicine, and the concordance of those functions with modern biological theory.
The course explains the role of Tian Gui in Chinese medicine reproductive physiology, and genuine cases from Robin’s clinic are shared, covering a range of presentations with individual treatments.
