Chinese Medicine : Disease Patterns

A 12-hour course

Zen Shiatsu grows out of the ancient intellectual traditions of Chinese Medicine, and the practice of acupuncture and herbalism.

In our 96-hour Chinese Medicine curriculum, we do an in-depth study of these traditions, to understand the place of Zen Shiatsu within the greater context of Chinese Medicine and learn to communicate fluently with other professionals in the field.

Chinese Medicine IV: Disease Patterns introduces the Chinese classifications of imbalance and their relevance to Zen Shiatsu.

Topics Include:

•  Eight Principles
•  Qi/Blood Patterns
•  Zang/Fu Patterns
•  Pathenogenic Patterns
•  Exogenous/Endogenic Causes of Disease

This class is open only to students enrolled in our complete Shiatsu Certification Program.
