Course Topic: CHRONIC DISEASES – ASSESSMENT OF THEIR PROGRESSION IN CHINESE MEDICINE

Presenter: Jeffrey Yuen comes from two Daoist traditions and his training in Chinese medicine comes from Daoist priest Yu Wen and Gong Song-Liu. Yuen comes directly from a Daoist lineage and trained under the Daoist priest, Yuen, learning among other healing arts, Chinese herbal medicine. Yuen was invited by NCCAOM to be among a group of prominent practitioners, to write and review questions during the development of the NCCAOM herbal exam and served on their Finalization Committee.

Program Description: As Chinese medicine is often under the auspice of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM), it is common that majority of patients utilizing Chinese medicine come with chronic and serious conditions seeking other viable options in their healthcare. Ranging from auto-immune to intractable diseases, Chinese medicine can offer traditional and fresh outlooks to these conditions in management and treatment. Crucial to understanding the prognosis of these illnesses is the assessment of the patients’ progress through Chinese medical diagnostics, especially the use of pulses and tongue. Through such evaluation, clinicians are able to determine how to adjust and modify their treatments accordingly. This seminar will examine the nature of chronicity, auto-immunity, and degeneration. Participants will learn to fine tune their diagnostic tools pertaining to the level of disease progression, possible latencies, and obstruction/blockage to the therapeutic process. In addition, the nuisances and subtleties of each individual which may sometimes skew the findings and confuse the diagnosis will be addressed.

Date & Time: March 29 - 30, 2025 (10 – 5 pm) IN-PERSON OR LIVE-STREAMING OPTION
