COURSE DESCRIPTION
As the first part of the Foundation lectures, this course introduces the basic theoretical concepts of TCM. Students will explore yin/ yang theory; the five elements; traditional models for physiological function, including zang-fu organs and the substrates of energy (qi), essence (jing), blood (xue), and body fluids (jin-ye); pathogenic factors; and meridians. The theoretical and philosophical components of this course have a continuing and progressive application in all aspects of the program.
