Traditional Chinese Medicine 1

Traditional Chinese Medicine 1(TCM)

NEW! Fast–Track

With TCM regulation around the corner, every serious health practitioner is recommended to take the opportunity in understanding the practice and theory behind this ancient and powerful medical paradigm and art form that is quickly being integrated into health modalities and facilties. This new TCM fast track course gets to the core of the foundations of TCM theory through summary, demonstration and clinics. Study materials include, The Huang Di Nei Jing (Yellow Emperor Internal Classic), medical classics and a fast track TCM Foundation workbook. Tongue and pulse diagnosis, TCM differentiation, internal medicine, commonly used teas, herbs, formulas, pills and tinctures (english, latin and pin-yin), tuina (chinese meridian massage), needling techniques, auricular and scalp acupuncture, cupping, moxabustion and electro-acupuncture are explored. TCM is holistic and does not treat symptoms but rather, treats the root cause.

The fast track comprehensive TCM course consists of three 10 module courses - Foundation, Intermediate and Advanced. To make it convenient (learn on your own time and save on transportation, time and money) and to expedite the learning process, some of the modules in each course will be on-line as well as partaking in designated clock hours at the school. Acupuncture is a prerequiste but can be taken at the same time. Supervised clinic and hands on experience makes this specially designed and systematically laid out TCM course, a must to enhance skills and business for all serious holistic practitioners and healers.
