Around the Body in Two Days: An Herbal Tour

A two day glimpse into 5000 years of ancient wisdom. Be ready to unlearn what you know and see your body from a whole new perspective.

Provider #806

By far the largest and most important practice in the Chinese healthcare system is the “art of life cultivation.” It is understood that our lifestyle practices are primary in maintaining or restoring our health and for achieving longevity. Tonic herbs, self-applied acupressure and conscious exercising play a pivotal role in improving your health. They can help with all the other areas of life cultivation that we all should work on, such as sleeping well, learning how to relax, destressing, and so on.

Unlike the current prevailing ad-hoc supplement approach that seems to change fashion every year, Tonic Herbalism is a systematic approach to health. It is holistic, grounded, logical and pragmatic.

  • Is there really a biological clock? How does it work? 
  • Why do eyes turn red when a person gets angry? 
  • Why does hearing deteriorate first when we age? 
  • Why is the symbol for love a heart? 
  • Do the organs communicate directly or only through the brain? 
  • What does “body-mind” mean? How do the mind and the body interact? Who controls whom? 
  • How much do my genes determine how long I live? How long can I live, really? 
  • I know the importance of balance, but what does balance mean in my body and in my mind? 
  • How do I achieve physiological balance? 
  • What are the major differences between the Eastern and Western models of health systems? 
  • What is the Eastern Organ system (the Big “O” Organs)? How are they different from the anatomical organs? 
  • How do acupressure and acupuncture work? 
  • Can I take a super pill and be done? 
  • Why do you have so many formulas with multiple herbs in one? 
  • What are the best herbs for the Heart, the Liver, the Lungs, the Kidneys, metabolism, the brain... 
  • What are the best herbs for promoting glowing health, boosting energy, calming my nerves, slowing aging, building resistance?
This Around the Body in 2 Days – An Herbal Tour course provides a glimpse of the foundational concepts of this unique Chinese Health system that is completely different from the Western model. It will help you see holistic health through a different lens. Illustrations, charts and tables are used throughout the course presentation in the hope that this ancient and sometimes esoteric system can be demystified in a simple and intuitive format. Understanding these basic concepts will allow you to take macro-control over your health while delegating the micro-management of bodily functions to licensed practitioners. It will streamline your communication with your herbalists and acupuncturists and afford them a sharper focus on YOU. You and your practitioner can spend more time discussing your custom herbal strategy based on your unique needs and less time going over the basics of Tonic Herbalism.
