Psycho Spiritual Effect Of Gua Sha

Course overview

The modern gaze is fixed on the scientific evidence for ancient medicine. Yet the medicine itself holds a map of mind/body associations that has also fascinated Westerners who suffer a mind-body bifurcation. This seminar explores the impact of Gua sha on patients' psycho spiritual life by examining how it is situated in film and books, what impact blood stasis and its resolution have and how this manifests in clinic during and after treatment with discussion of example cases.
