Laura Mignosa, AADP
(Pre-
Requisite for the Chinese Herbology Program )
This is a powerful course for anyone
interested in the Differential Diagnosis of
Traditional Chinese Medicine and
its uses today. Aromatherapists,
body workers,
massage therapists, and other wellness practitioners
benefit from
incorporating this holistic perspective of the human energetic systems into
their modalities.
Through
recognition of patterns, TCM describes disharmonies without diagnosing
disease.
By studying this material, patients of TCM practitioners can increase
their
understanding of the perspective of Chinese medicine, and participate more fully in
their treatment.
This course
also serves as the foundation on which our Chinese Herbology Intensive
is built
upon. All our courses are taught with an
emphasis on clinical diagnosis as
practiced in China today.
Course Objective:
Among the distinctive perspectives of Traditional Chinese Medicine
is the Eight
Principle theory. The Eight Principle theory is the foundation for differential
diagnosis. This course offers a student the opportunity to learn about the
terminology and
diagnostic skills needed for accurately recognizing the clinical
signs and symptoms of the
patterns of disharmonies.
