Acupuncture for Treating the Hidden Roots of Disease - Course 4
Course Overview
The "Temperament" or the habitual psycho-emotional expression of a person, depends partly on the transmitted family inheritance and partly on post-natal conditioning.The six basic “Temperaments” are represented by the “Six energy axis” or the channel systems which constitute a bridge between the inner world “Microcosm” and the outer changes the “Macrocosm”, and define the basic responses and adaptations to outer events. Constitutions and Temperaments have a major influence on “Belief” mechanisms and further influence the physiology as well as the pathology of a person.
This understanding provides a key for freeing oneself from the habitual mind-sets and behaviours.
Choosing acupuncture strategies and points adapted to the temperament, constitutes the art of treating a person rather than a disease.

I find it very helpful in providing a deeper understanding of our patients. This knowledge helps to tailor the treatments to their respective temperaments, making them highly effective.Geha G.Canada
