2013 Fall Evening Lecture Series

Nudging the Ying: The Use of Indirect Moxa in the Treatment of Children

It has been said that 'all childrens' illnesses arise in the Spleen" and the Yingqi is produced by the Spleen - Stomach. The Yingqi manifests as nourishment and development; and that childrens' primary energetic trajectory is of growth and development. Thus, strengthening the Yinqqi through indirect moxibustion can be the simplest treatment for most chidrens' illnesses. This talk will explore treatment theory and practice using case studies and discussion.
