Developing Meta-Practice in the Treatment of Menstrual Disorders
10 NCCAOM PDA
(number of) NCCAOM PDA
Goals and Objectives
- How does the uterus relate to the liver, the sea of blood, the chong mai, ren mai and the other extraordinary vessels? What changes when we think menstruation through the vessels and not the organs?
- How does menstruation tie in with the physiology of qi, blood and body fluids and how does that impinge on treatment?
- How has our knowledge of Chinese medicine changed over time? How does it differ from and links to biomedical knowledge?
- How meta—practice can help you in the development of clinical mastery over time
