Course Overview

This 90 minute Qiological discussion will begin with an overview of the Saam acupuncture tradition’s individual primary channel qualities and how they relate specifically to gynecological applications. We will look at strategies for pairing channels together if complex clinical presentations require a bilateral approach. We will then move from theory to focus on the magic and messiness of our clinical work. Case studies illustrating menstrual pain, infertility, nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, migraines status post menopause, and a newly diagnosed case of cervical cancer with metastases, we will show theory applied to real life gynecological cases.
