Passionate about a healthy and well-functioning body? Use traditional Chinese medicine techniques and earn out of your skills!

Traditional Chinese medicine is a process that has been developing for years. Their acupressure techniques have been admired throughout the world. Using natural methods to make your body healthy is not so difficult if you know the  use of right methodologies.  This course thus provides you with the appropriate ways of Chinese acupressure. The 12 Meridians in our body have a Yuan source points near the wrists and ankles from where the vital energy of ‘zang-fu’ organs passes. The Diploma in Acupressure- Yuan Source Points will help you gain a grip on each of these points to help ease stress and aches and result in sound functioning of the zang-fu organs.

The course will introduce its learners to the concepts of traditional Chinese medicine. It would begin with an introduction of the Yuan Source points and the zang-fu organs. The term ‘zang’ refers to the organs considered to be yin in nature – lung, pericardium, heart, spleen, liver and kidney – while ‘fu’ refers to the yang organs – large intestine, triple heater, small Intestine, stomach, gall bladder and bladder. “Yuan” means source or origin and refers to the source of vital energy through which the pathological changes of zang-fu organs are manifested. This course will enable candidates to locate the important source points for acupressure that regulate energy in the body, which they can use to benefit themselves as well as their clients.
