DECEMBER 2 - 5, 2022 (FRI - MON)
Topic: Wild/Western Herbs and Classical Chinese Medicine:
Classically, Chinese medicine used primarily local ingredients. This allowed the use of plants that had adapted specifically to the environmental challenges that were local to the patient. In modern times, Chinese medicine has become centralized and much of it is farmed ... being grown in ideal conditions and losing some of the potency and resilience traditionally found in wild herbs. These herbs are not only shipped across China but across the world, to areas where the plants are not indigenous. In this weekend, Jeffrey will be returning to the roots of classical herbal medicine and review ways in which we can effectively utilize local herbs within a Classical Chinese medicine paradigm. More specifically, Jeffrey will explore the expansion of the Chinese medicine herbal pharmacopia to include Western herbs, that are local to many of the practitioners in the West. In doing so, Jeffrey will review tastes, temperatures, channel affinities, properties, recommended dosages and safety guidelines to allow Chinese medicine practitioners to seamlessly incorporate Western herbal medicines into the framework of Classical Chinese medicine.

EVENT DETAILS:
Auto-Immunity and the Clinical Applications of the Divergent Channels
Within that context of Chinese medicine is the notion of latent pathogens (biological, psychological, social, and even spiritual) that continue to challenge the body and its resources. Such an affront to the Zheng-upright qi has resulted in an ongoing attempt by the body to either continue to resolve the pathological agent(s) or the render the process into a dormant/subliminal state. From a channel perspective, this mechanism is often undertaken by the Jing Bie/Channel Divergences as a remedy to offset acute life-threatening destruction, though their reactions often lead to the manifestations of chronic and usually intractable conditions that are often treated mostly through management within the Western medical paradigm.
By understanding the Jing Bie, participants are offered an opportunity to understand what is often referred to as auto-immune conditions and more importantly, ways to mitigate and address their chronicity and progression. This seminar is intended to delve deeper into the Jing Bie for those who have already been exposed to these channels and offer clinical insights from a seasoned practitioner.

** The California Acupuncture Board (CAB) approves AUCM's Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for its Continuing Education program. Although AUCM has not sought approval for CEUs from the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM), the NCCAOM recognizes and accepts CEUs that have been approved by the CAB. While the NCCAOM acknowledges CAB-approved CEUs, it is important to note that their policies on CEU acceptance may change. Therefore, it is the responsibility of participants to keep up-to-date on all NCCAOM policies regarding the acceptance of CAB CEUs.
4. By registering for the live stream, you acknowledge and agree to the terms outlined in this registration policy. Please note that it is always better to check with the certifying body or institution for their specific CEU requirements.
*** Please note that this and all other seminars given by AUCM are recorded. Methods used may include audio, video or still photography. Because audience members ask questions or participate as subjects in the seminars, and because recording may include audience members, AUCM requires that, as a precondition to signing up for any AUCM sponsored classes, all attendees consent, without restriction, to being recorded in whatever form recording is occurring by AUCM at the seminar. Attendees must further agree that all rights, including all intellectual property rights, to such recordings (and to all derivative works of such recordings in whatever form), shall belong exclusively to AUCM. Attendees will not be compensated in any way for providing the above permission or for releasing any rights to recordings; rather it is a precondition to attend the seminars.
**** For Livestream Participants: While we are taking reasonable precautions to keep the live stream video up and running (including redundant connections, computers, etc.) there is always a possibility of technical failure. In the event of a technical failure, any parts that are not streamed properly will be made available to the live stream participants as soon as we are able to get the recorded video uploaded to Vimeo within a months time. If they are small areas that are not demonstrations, we may upload audio only so we can get it up quickly. Due to the additional expenses we have in offering this, we are unable to offer any refunds based on technical problems. However those signed up as live stream participants will be able to view any missed video online. We do not have plans to offer this series for CEU"s online at the moment, therefore, live stream may be the only way to participate remotely in these classes.
***** Taping/Recording of the lectures will not be permitted.
