Course Overview
Chronic Lyme disease hollows out the yang. Gu Syndrome, of which modern chronic Lyme disease is an instance, is seen classically as the “ultimate yin evil,” which is to say that it is brutally cold and moist in nature, robbing the body of its yang qi. What could be more appropriate then than to treat chronic Lyme disease with moxa? In this course, Daniel Silver shares his insights into the use of direct and indirect moxa protocols in the treatment of chronic Lyme disease. He dives into a thorough study of which moxa points to use and how to treat them, as well as providing historical background on the usage of moxibustion.
