Izabela Mietka: Heart and Stomach – Fire in the Digestive System

Abstract:

This lecture is about the importance of Fire, especially the heavenly Fire in the digestive system. Understanding the role of the Heart in relation to the Stomach gives us a deeper perspective in looking at the core of digestive diseases. With this understanding, we can bring more effective treatment and deep healing to the patients.

Among other approaches, it looks at the Heart and Stomach in the organ clock and compares the hexagrams of the Heart and Stomach allowing us to come into clinical applications; how the Stomach can support the Heart in enjoying life, and how the Heart supports the Stomach and digestion.

The presentation of some case studies will support the learning process, taking it from theory to the clinic.

Learning objectives:

Discuss the role of the Heart and the Stomach in the digestive tract.
Understand the importance of the Fire in the digestive system; both the earthly Fire and the Heavenly fire.
Clinically apply the understanding of this lecture: Stomach supports Heart and Heart supports Stomach and digestion.
Create deep healing in a patient through the use of the heavenly Fire.
Buil treatment strategies with special point combinations for digestive problems with using Heart points.

Through this lecture, we will discuss common themes within these medical systems regarding the pathophysiology of GERD. The lecture will also introduce various food items, preparations, spices, and healing beverages that address the “heartburn” while reliving the painful life experience associated with it.
