About the Course
As practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), we must bridge the gap between TCM and Western biomedicine. With a clear understanding of healthy physiology according to TCM, we can better interpret common symptoms and biomedicine diagnoses through a TCM lens. Then we must address the source of the problem by reestablishing the body’s healthy Qi cycle. This course will bridge that gap and clarify your understanding of cardiovascular and renal physiology, disease, and treatment with TCM.
Course Objectives
In this course, students will learn how to diagnose and treatment of cardiovascular and renal issues commonly seen in a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) clinic. This includes the following:
Chest painful obstruction (Xiong Bi); palpitations; tachycardia, bradycardia, and arrhythmia; shortness of breath, dizziness and tinnitus
Edema and swelling of the lower limbs; urinary tract infections
Insomnia and mental-emotional issues
Cardiovascular complications caused by hypertension, elevated cholesterol and triglycerides, and the side effects of medication for these conditions
Coronary artery disease; how to prevent recurrent myocardial infarction after angioplasty and stent insertion
Kidney stones, polycystic kidney disease, kidney failure and dialysis
Diagnosis techniques will include pulse and tongue analysis. Treatment modalities will apply the instructor's Traditional Chinese Medicine Unified Practice Method (TCM UP Method) that includes scalp and body acupuncture protocols, herbal formula combinations, as well as dietary and lifestyle recommendations all designed to address the source of the problem by reestablishing the body’s healthy Qi cycle. Dr. Chi will use case studies from her clinical experience to discuss treatment efficacy.
