Introduction to Year 2
Description of Year 2
Expected outcome: by the end of this 2nd year all students will have become familiar with the ways in which a diseases devolves, the clusters of symptoms and signs that help identifying its 'nature' and the principles of treatment that should be applied to resolve it. In addition, all students will be able to select the appropriate meridians and the acupuncture points according to the criteria set by Chinese Medicine.
⦁ As all other years, this year is made or 7 x 20 hours modules (258 hours), weekly webinars x 10 months (120 hours) and the end of the year retreat (98+ hours).
⦁ This year we shall tackle the issue of how a disease is formed by looking into the condition that made it possible in the first place. After establishing this, we shall look into the mechanisms of pathology, specific diseases and the symptoms and signs clusters called syndromes in which the symptom is located. We will learn how to diagnose (including pulse diagnosis) and finally will learn how to select the channels and points to treat.
⦁ By the end of this year, the meaning of 'Chinese medicine holism’ will become clear and students will learn to apply it to clinical cases.
⦁ We shall also study the digestive, urinary, respiratory and gynaecological systems and prove once more how any attempt of organisation according to 'symptoms' collapses when we look from a ‘holistic gaze’.
⦁ The retreat will provide time for practising diagnosis (including pulse and tongues), marking once again the main points and learning their clinical and energetic applications. Qigong and meditation will be an essential part of it.
