Chinese Medicine and Anxiety: Classical Diagnosis Meets Neurobiology

Course overview

This course bridges traditional Chinese medicine and modern neuroscience to explore anxiety as both energetic and neurobiological imbalance. Through the lens of the Five Shén and organ systems, it reveals how classical diagnoses correspond to stress circuits, neurotransmitters, and the HPA axis. Practitioners learn to interpret anxiety patterns such as Heart fire, Liver constraint, Spleen deficiency, and Kidney depletion while understanding their modern physiological parallels. The course includes neuroimaging evidence, acupuncture mechanisms, and herbal research, providing a comprehensive integrative framework for clinical practice.
