Kampo Blood Disorders Workshop with Nigel Dawes
Santa Fe, New Mexico
The seminar will be open to anyone interested in strengthening their Kampo foundation with a focus on blood disorders as well as to those who might be new to Kampo who want an introduction to the basics followed immediately with condition-focused study. Blood is the densest and most material of the 3 substances: Ki Ketsu Sui (Qi Xue Shui or Qi, Blood and Water). In the Kampo diagnostic hierarchy, problems at this level not only represent a deeper, more stubborn and likely more chronic imbalance but also take precedence in treatment hierarchy. In the Kampo dialectic, Blood Stasis (Oketsu) as impairment in the proper flow of blood, is considered the initial stage of all blood disorders. Blood Stasis is also the inevitable result of the various different etiologies of blood patterns – Qi Stagnation, Heat, Cold and Dryness – which all lead to Oketsu. Thus Kampo considers the assessment and treatment of Oketsu a primary focus of patient care. To diagnose, differentiate and treat Oketsu is essential to a successful herbal practice, so don’t miss this opportunity to learn all about it!
Fee: $600 for Professionals, $550 for students
CEUs: 22.5 Continuing Education credits for CA and TX and NCCAOM
