The skin reflects what is going on within, and is subjected to our daily dietary and lifestyle choices. Beauty does comes from within, but it can also be enhanced by many artificial and invasive methods from outside. However, for lasting healthy skin, one must manifest good health and a tranquil mind. This is where acupuncture can help.
This course aims to discuss the theory and practice of balancing energetic states of the body and mind to treat problems of the skin, the connective tissues and sagging and postural issues related to ageing.
The Foundations Course starts at the skin, as a deep understanding of this structure is essential when practising Cosmetic Acupuncture and Acupuncture for Dermatological Diseases.
Participants will learn three protocols of practice for each therapy:
- Body acupuncture for balancing energies to correct the cause of the problem
- Local treatment on areas of sagging/wrinkling/pigmentation/cellulite etc
- Advising the patient on diet and lifestyle in order to stablise the effects achieved
