Seminar: A Discussion of the 5 Transport Points by Dr Wang Ju Yi.

[Guest guest]

The Most Effective Points

A Discussion of the Five Transport Points

 

Professor Wang Ju-Yi 王 居易

 

Dec. 1-2, 2007 9AM – 6PM

 

15 CEUs

 

The five transport points (五腧穴) comprise the core of a classical

acupuncturist's repertoire. First described in the second chapter of the Nei

Jing, these 60 highly-effective points are often used but not always fully

understood.

 

This two-day class will focus on mining the experience of a senior

acupuncturist from Beijing. Specifically, students will learn how these

points are thought to function in the channel system as a whole. By better

learning how the points function, more effective point selection and patient

results are possible. Subjects covered will include:

 

Ø A detailed introduction to the relationship of the channels and

points to the organs in the classical Chinese physiological system. This

system provides the core of not only acupuncture therapy but also the

underlying conception of the body that drove classical herbal texts such as

the Shang Han Lun (Treatise on Damage by Cold).

 

Ø A discussion of the underlying mechanisms of function of each of the

five shu points. This includes a discussion of qi dynamic at the well,

spring, stream, river and sea points.

 

Ø An introduction by Dr. Wang of his unique understanding of favorite

points based on his own clinical results and research into classical texts.

Here, the student will gain a wealth of useful clinical applications for the

points beyond that often found in modern English textbooks. Needling

technique will be demonstrated.

*About the Instructor*

 

Dr. Wang Ju-yi (王居易) is a classical acupuncturist from Beijing. A member

of

the first graduating class from the Beijing University of Chinese medicine

(1963), Dr. Wang has over 45 years of clinical experience. After working for

30 years treating patients and training doctors in the Kuan Jie Hospital of

Chinese medicine in downtown Beijing, Dr. Wang has focused in recent decades

on further linking his clinical approach to classical texts. His lectures

thus involve a strong rooting in classical concepts which he combines with

hard-won modern clinical experience. Students leave Dr. Wang's classes with

techniques that can be immediately applied in their clinics to improve

clinical results.
