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.
This course offers a fascinating introduction to the traditional theories and philosophies behind Chinese medicine. Learning about concepts like yin and yang, the five elements, qi, and meridians provides a deeper understanding of a medical tradition that has influenced health practices for centuries. Online learning also makes it easier for students from different places to explore these ideas.
It’s interesting how different systems of knowledge create their own worlds to explore — similar to discovering new environments and stories in games like GTA 5 mobile. Great opportunity for anyone interested in expanding their understanding of traditional healing approaches.
Wonderful insight into the value of outdoor education and experiential learning. Inspiring programs like these deserve recognition. I also enjoy educational content on Lotería de Hoy. Thanks for sharing!
