Webinar Description
Master Kiiko Matsumoto, LAc. will present and demonstrate advanced theory and techniques in the pathology and treatment of diseases that relate to disorders of the Gao and Huang substances of the body. Gao and Huang are sometimes translated as the “fatty -greasy” tissues / membranes of the body, especially “above the diaphragm but below the heart,” but can also be used to refer to a disease as “incurable.” However, there is often much confusion about the translation and meaning of these terms in Chinese Medicine. Going beyond the famous Tang Dynasty doctor Sun Si Miao’s Gao Huang Shu Point on the back, the course will explore other treatments that can influence deep and chronic diseases that have affected the Gao and Huang. Specifically, we will examine how a variety of chronic conditions including bursitis, arthritis and plantar fasciitis can relate to the Gao Huang tissue and respond to treatments. We will look at disorders that do not easily fit into a five element diagnosis.
The course will examine concepts such as stem cells and fascia from a modern biomedical perspective while Master Matsumoto also unpacks deep analysis of a variety of the ancient Chinese characters of key acupuncture point names and Chinese medical theory. Following lecture, demonstrations will be made in real time with live patients and Kiiko Matsumoto will demonstrate how to find the best treatment options for each patient for a variety of conditions and how to organize the various approaches taught into a complete acupuncture treatment, with Dr. Joseph Audette and other staff facilitating the educational process with questions and live chat in zoom.
