Dietary Healing & Detoxification Two-Day Workshop
Please go to events for booking of attendance workshops.This two-day workshop is ideal for both health professionals and members of the public. It offers an in-depth approach to the practical and self-management aspects of dietary healing and detoxification, plus the opportunity for individual case study analysis. The course will provide a firm framework for general case assessment, treatment and monitoring and instill enough confidence to self-manage your own case, or that of clients.
During the course you will assess your case in relation to your inherited and acquired constitution, liver stagnation and digestive efficiency and make use of both Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) interpretation in case study analysis. Indications relating to liver stagnation and digestive deficiency will determine the specific application of the therapy, the rate of detoxification and subsequent healing.
In addition, a range of case studies will be reviewed for group discussion which will broaden your case interpretation and diagnostic skills and give the confidence to review other cases such as family members or within your practice.
This course is essential for those wishing to make sense of their case, wishing to put in place strategies for healing and provides a foundation for choosing the best treatment options for their individual case.
A tutorial accompanies this course.
