TCM History
Throughout the history of Chinese medicine there have been several currents of Chinese medical practice. Some were well seated in the Confucian scholar tradition associated with the transmission of canonical writings such as the Huang Di Nei Jing. Alongside and concurrent to these traditions, China also had family lineages that were more or less kept as trade secrets among small groups of people. Over the last two thousand years of Chinese history, these family lineages have come and sometimes gone entirely if there were no heir to receive the information. Furthermore, even when these secret family traditions were taught, sometimes the true depth of information was withheld. This very traditional aspect of Chinese culture can certainly be a negative and dark one in the realm of medicine, especially since the greatest and most important texts of Chinese medicine (e.g., the Huang Di Nei Jing, Nan Jing, etc…) have always been transmitted openly and freely. In Chinese there is a phrase that “Medicine is the Art of Compassion” (醫為仁術 yi wei ren shu). Secret lineages of medicine that are not taught openly and possibly even allowed to die out due to the selfish motivation to retain knowledge or power in a select number of individuals stand in direct opposition to compassion. Tung’s acupuncture is one previously secret ancient family lineage of medicine that, thanks to the openness of its last proponent, has survived and nourished in modern times to the benefit of countless suffering patients.
Theoretical Background – Treatment Strategy
We will begin with exploring the core essence of Tung’s acupuncture looking at both the theory of the system and its origin: a general introduction to Master Tung’s therapeutic strategies will be provided with reference to classical and modern sources. You will learn to characterize effective acupuncture points and understand their classification within the framework of Master Tung’s main methods of point selection, namely
- holographic (Taiji-) correspondence,
- channel correspondence,
- tissue correspondence, and zonal arrangement.
Point studies – Tung’s Specific Extra Points
You will become familiar with a basic set of important acupuncture points from Master Tung’s repertoire and their combination (Dao Ma groups). With reference to what you have learnt in the theoretical section you will be able to understand their mode of action and the rationale behind their specific usage in therapy. Points and treatment examples will be presented with a focus on pain, motor disorders, and internal diseases.
- You will practice point location and needling.
- The material covered will be immediately useful in your clinic.
