Tung Acupuncture lineage is revolutionizing how practitioners treat their patients. This comprehensive course on Master Tung’s Acupuncture is 36 academic hours long and designed to introduce Acupuncturists to the lesser-known 5 zang channels system. It is taught by highly experienced practitioner lecturers Shuan Goodman and Gil Ton.
A complete system with its own channels, points, diagnostic methods, and needling techniques, Master Tung’s style is renowned for its clinical efficacy. Since Tung passed away in 1975 in Taiwan, his Acupuncture family lineage has gained popularity worldwide due to its success in treating pain-related disorders and internal medicine diseases.
Tung’s Acupuncture is not just a collection of extra points; it’s a complete acupuncture tradition emphasizing the five zang channels, holographic imaging, and unique needling areas and techniques. Tung’s points follow the law of the five elements: the five zang, six fu, and extra fu.
The course is hybrid; the first 3 days are on-site, while the rest are online.
Shuan and Gil will explore and apply the theory and practice of this unique style. The seminar will be taught elementally and introduce students to essential points, including hands-on demonstrations and practice.
If you want to enhance your practice’s clinical effectiveness, this is the CPD event for you.
