Traditional Chinese Medicine

Topics covered in the subject of Traditional Chinese Medicine

(18 hours the first year and 18 hours the second year)

The aim is to train the participants in the course of Naturopathy in Traditional Chinese Medicine, ready to relate to the suffering subject both from a purely organic and emotional point of view, reminding us of the importance of the psyche in the context of pathology as highlighted by the WHO in this last decade.

Traditional Chinese Medicine addresses the patient, not the disease, therefore in its diagnosis it values the "external" examination together with the "internal" one, and it is precisely in this second case that it analyzes the component of the Shen, that is, the psyche connected to that specific pathology, in that particular season, with that particular climate and so on. The Master, in its contents, underlines the importance of our socio/cultural period, of undertaking a path focused towards a global vision and a transversal thought of the World around us: the tangible one and the "invisible" one but perhaps more powerful.
