Temperaments and Beliefs in Chinese Medicine: Acupuncture for the Treatment of the Hidden Roots of Disease - Module 4

Course overview

The Temperament or the habitual psycho-emotional expression of a person depends partly on the transmitted family inheritance and partly on post-natal conditioning. The six basic Temperaments are represented by the Six energy axis or the channel systems which constitute a bridge between the inner world Microcosm and the outer changes the Macrocosm, and define the basic responses and adaptations to outer events. Constitutions and Temperaments have a major influence on Belief mechanisms and further influence the physiology as well as the pathology of a person.
