Description

COURSE OVERVIEW

Tungā€™s Acupuncture is an effective method of mostly distant point acupuncture that today is popular around the world. It is also flexible, equally capable of treating pain management cases and internal medicine. Tungā€™s Acupuncture achieves this by combining an understanding of channel theory, microsystem and holographic thinking, and an attention to point location and needling variations. Combined together studying Tungā€™s approach also enhances oneā€™s practice of other acupuncture systems.

By now most acupuncturists have heard of Tungā€™s system and online classes are plentiful, but over time full in-person training in the fundamentals of the system are fewer and fewer. This means we have more and more Tung practitioners who apply rigid point prescriptions without understanding important principles, and without having had in-person training in needling and point location. In this course we will cover all the core basic theory of the system, and systematically go through and cover all the main points with hands-on point location practice. Join us and learn or re-learn Tungā€™s in-person, as acupuncture should ideally be taught!

Topics Covered Include:

  • An overview of channel, microsystem, and body tissue theory in acupuncture
  • Tungā€™s approach to 5 Phase and 5 Zang organ treatment
  • All of Tungā€™s main points, including locations and indications
  • Bloodletting in the Tung tradition
  • Hands-on point location practice
  • Special needling methods and strategies
  • The treatment of commonly seen conditions in the clinic
