Webinar Description

Anti-Aging and Chinese Medicine:

A Lesson from the Nan Jing
It is evident we all possess a finite amount of life qi to support and maintain our existence.
Some of us are naturally more inclined to living a longer life than others and this is partially based on genetic factors, our individual pre-natal jing or essence. But that is only half of what defines the length of our individual lives. It is also necessary to take into account individual lifestyle choices, habits, and environmental factors that influence our post-natal jing or essence. These impacts speedup or slowdown, increase or decrease our wakeful years.

The Difficult Issues (Nan Jing), a classical Chinese medicine text, provides an essential clue to longevity and explains how external and internal factors affect our kidneys and influence lifespan. It explains how if health is not properly maintained that the kidney will be cut off from receiving and exchanging qi from the other zangfu organs, leading to its depletion. This decline leads to inevitable yin-yang disruption, directly affects the flow of qi and blood, and the eventual weakening of the zangfu organs and their ability to generate qi to support our body.

Our lecture highlights key patho-mechanisms set into motion by this kidney disconnection and the foreseeable impact on the aging process. Geriatrics is its own separate category and specialty focused on retirement and elderly aged people. It’s necessary to make the distinction between the patho-mechanisms during the aging process versus during old-age. The prime aim of our discussion is to identify key clinical signs so practitioners are able to respond appropriately with key acupuncture strategies and classical herbal formulas, hopefully correcting patient imbalances, and supporting long life.
