Course Overview

Five Elements blocks to treatment are amongst the most fascinating interventions I have observed in 25 years of acupuncture research. Associated with blockages in the patient’s Qi, they can have profound negative effects on a patient’s physical and psychological health. These phenomena may be a common presentation amongst cancer survivors; clearing blocks has the potential to facilitate profound change in a cancer survivor’s wellbeing.

Useful treatment options, they can be considered by any acupuncturist, whether they are working within a Five Element or other theoretical framework.

    Excellent course. Thank you so much. I was hoping to save the PDFs for future reference but it seems that is not possible. I saw there was a print option so maybe I should do that.
