The Importance of Clearing Blocks to Treatment in Cancer Survivors
What you will learn

- Identify their presence in a patient’s presentation
- Apply the treatment protocols in clinical practice.
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.
