Shen Series - Course 4

Course overview

Some patients speak directly of anxiety, depression, agitation, expressing an emotional and mental discomfort, others describe this feeling unwell through physical sensations such as pain, oppression, swelling, knots. A shen side permeates our everyday practice. Acupuncture considers the person as a whole, and it produces substantial effects on the most subtle aspects. The entanglement of somatic and mental/emotional signs may result into confusion and make diagnosis difficult. Diagnosis is outlined in a clear frame, with main patterns, their roots, manifestations and possible evolutions. Treatment guidelines are designed in flexible modules. Clinical cases are discussed for each pattern.
