Organs and Meridians, An Integration of Meridian Therapy and SAAM
by Thomas Sorenson
The theory of how Organs and Meridians work together can be overwhelming, but combining Meridian Therapy and SAAM Acupuncture simplifies acupuncture practice while staying true to its principles.
Organs and Meridians, An Integration of Meridian Therapy and SAAM
Course Overview
The sheer complexity of theory of how the Organs and Meridians work together to nourish and protect the body and mind can be overwhelming to think of.The theory we have been taught at school can be difficult to translate into something instantaneously useful in clinic.
And at times it seems as if there is a disconnect between parts of the theory and the practice.
Both Meridian Therapy and SAAM Acupuncture are fairly simple and very effective styles of acupuncture. When fused together they can provide a more direct way of understanding physiology and pathology which can help to clear up confusion and provide for a simple, useful approach to acupuncture which is true to classical acupuncture medicine and its principles.
The previous course “Pulse and Abdominal Maps of the SAAM Organ Pairs” introduced a new way of diagnosing Deficiency and Excess of the SAAM Organ pairs using a palpatory approach.
This follow-up course will introduce a way of thinking of the Organ pairs, their associated Meridians as well as of their physiology and pathology which will provide a clearer context for diagnosis and treatment.
