1-Hour Live Webcast
This presentation will offer a broad perspective, combined with practical clinical applications, of the Japanese interpretation of Chinese Medicine.
Description
While the classic principles are the same in all Asian medicine, the interpretation and application of them is unique to each culture. Concepts of acupuncture and herbal medicine will be explored. Some key areas will include point location and needling the vector of the point. Also, the Extra Vessels and its pulse palpation will be discussed, as well as treating organ disfunction with the Channel Divergents. Auricular success will focus on the use of the use of the laterality and oscillation points. Finally, a brief discussion of the Kampo style of herbs will be presented. We all do abdominal palpation and this style, unique in that only MD’s prescribe herbs in Japan, connects the abdominal exam with principle herbs and symptoms, or pattern recognition.
Learning objectives
At the conclusion of this LIVE webcast physician participants will be able to:
- Discuss contemporary and underutilized interpretation of classic Chinese Medicine principles.
- Demonstrate Japanese approach to patient examination and needling.
- Compare Meridian, Extraordinary Vessels and Divergent Channel approaches to patient treatment.
