Chinese Medicine teaches that disease arises from
three main areas: emotions (internal), climate
(external) and lifestyle (miscellaneous/not internal,
not external). Five Element acupuncture mainly
deals with diagnosing and treating the internal
causes, while TCM focuses primarily on the external
and miscellaneous causes. Integrating these two styles addresses all causes of
disease, helps you to treat a broader range of
conditions at the same time, and allows your
treatment to reach a deeper, more profound level.
This ensures that your patient’s body, mind and
spirit are all supported.
Days 1 and 2
Integrating TCM with Five Elements
Using both practical exercises and theory you will
learn to seamlessly integrate the two styles by:
- Discussing where Five Element acupuncture
and TCM overlap
- Discovering the differences between Five Elements
and TCM and how the integration of each
aspect enhances diagnosis and treatment
- Learning various aspects of integration practice
to do with case history taking, pulse diagnosis,
point selection and needle techniques
- Identifying the main stages of forming an
integrated diagnosis using case histories and
patient examples
- Learning other aspects of integration including
the four levels of pathology and common
pathogens associated with each constitutional
imbalance
- Understanding how to carry out integrated
treatments so that you can simultaneously:
- treat the constitutional imbalance
- deal with pathologies and blocks
- where necessary, reach the patient’s spirit
- deal with signs and symptoms
- Assessing treatment feedback and planning
further treatments
Day 3
Deepening Your Diagnosis
Bonus day for only $95!
- Learning skills to consolidate and simplify
treatment approach
- Identifying how “inappropriate” emotions
create physical disease, practically experiencing
bodily sensations for each Element
- Discovering how imbalanced emotions keep
patients“hungry” leading to behaviors that
cause disease
- Assessing how to deal with lifestyle changes,
whether to give advice or treat the cause
By the end of this seminar you will understand
how to enhance your treatment by integrating
these two styles, including diagnosis, treatment,
life-style changes and taking a wider view of
successful treatment.
For practitioners who understand TCM and
Five Element treatment styles, this seminar
will deepen the ir skill and ability to use
them together. Angela Hicks and John Hicks
