*Understanding Master Tong's Acupuncture in Depth: Theory and Practice*

 

*Lecture in English by Esther C. Su, M. A. *

 

*A long term apprentice of Miriam Lee and student of Young Wei-chieh*

 

This two day's course explores the foundation of by

discussing the classics from the *Neijing* and *Yijing* with special

emphasis in relating the Master Tong style. The lecturer's extensive

background and experience in the field of traditional Chinese medicine will

lend to an in-depth understanding of both the theories and practices of

acupuncture.

 

The first day will clarify the classical meridian theory and Master Tong's

system including the Tai Yin meridians, San Jiao meridian and how it is

related to Tong's Points. The principles of Tong's system will also be

discussed.

 

The next day's course will focus on demonstration of diagnosis and treatment

as we see patients throughout the day. With each patient, we will discuss

each as a case study to allow participants to understand how to approach

each disease and its variations.

 

This course will be limited to a group of 15 participants in order to ensure

maximum interactive learning. It is also recommended that attendees have

some familiarity with Tong's points.
