Course Overview
Please Note: This is an Audio and Reading Course.
To a great extent, Westerners’ growing interest in Chinese medicine over the last thirty years has emerged out of a larger interest in personal development. Accordingly, Western practitioners and their patients are often more interested in mental-emotional issues as much as physical complaints. Chinese medicine has been treating mental-emotional complaints for all of its more than two-thousand-year history. This course teaches you how to diagnose and treat such complaints with acupuncture and Chinese medicine.
