The Three-Legged Vessel
Classical Thinking for the Primary Channels
The Three-legged Vessel presents a unique discussion on using the Primary Channel system from a classical Chinese medical perspective. Offering theory, strategy and practical application, this course is full of interesting and new ways to work with everyday diagnosis.
As the broadest rivers in the body, the Primary Channels are the most-used of all the channel systems in the body, making them accessible and powerful in almost any situation. The classical structure of thinking asks us to look at the body as a whole, to look at the past, the present and the possible future for each individual. In this course, you'll learn to act as a superior clinician in the classical sense, standing out of time, but standing in relationship to all possibilities.
The Three-Legged Vessel Method is a special application of classical Chinese medical analysis. Using the familiar 5 elements of Chinese medicine, plus simple treatment strategies, you'll learn to address the root cause, the current complaints and any possible future complications. Developed on the ground in the clinic, this innovative method was designed to give both students and practitioners an easy and effective way to create a potent treatment in every circumstance.
Completing this course will award you 9 CEUs approved by the NCCAOM, California (Provider #1261).
Your Instructor
I teach from the perspective of classical
Chinese medicine, a medicine that sees the body as a living, evolving
expression of vital elements and our relationship to our world. This poetic and profound
view of the body sees the layers of our being as living systems, systems that interface within us but can be separately examined and engaged with for all kinds of healing. The classical view sees 5 Channel systems; Sinews, Luos, Primary, Divergent and Eight Extraordinary vessels. In my courses, you will learn to understand these 5 Channel systems and apply the treatment principles in your own healthcare practice.
My interest and passion for both Chinese medicine and essential oils began over three decades ago as I explored ways to work with my own health. The flames were fanned into a bonfire in 1999 when I began to study with Jeffrey Yuen in New York city. In all of the essential oils courses you will find the magical mix of spirit and substance that Chinese medicine offers and that the essential oils embody.
