TCM Traditional Chinese Medicine

During the Working with Chinese Medicine course, the origins and modern application of these forms of therapy are discussed. You will become acquainted with the origins of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and the forms of therapy that have emerged from it. We look at the balance and possible imbalance of the human being -yin and yang- and the importance of the elements. Also, attention is paid to pulse and tongue diagnosis, as well as to acupressure and massage techniques based on Tuina.

The Chinese medicines that were developed centuries ago are not only used in China but also in the Western world. Over the course of many years, the knowledge of these medicines has been supplemented with an enormous amount of practical experience and, in addition, new treatment methods and techniques are constantly being developed on the basis of Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine is therefore a useful addition to our modern Western medicine. Much attention is also paid to Chinese herbalism. The possibilities of Qi gong are discussed extensively, a healing method that is currently in the spotlight in the West. The home course Working with Chinese Medicine is a course that enables you to successfully apply one of the most developed forms of therapy in your own practice.
