Master / Specialization on Tradicional Chinese Medicine
2017 -2018
The teaching of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is based on an integrative and scientific
perspective in order to demystify taking advantage of the eastern knowledge accumulated over
millennia. The program emphasizes the logics between TCM and western medical and natural
sciences. According to the model of Heidelberg, the diagnosis of MTC can be understood as an
assessment of vegetative and skeletal-muscle functions of the body. The appropriate therapy is
based on a process triggered by reflexology, acupuncture, tuina, moxibustion, dietary, chinese
phytopharmacology, biofeedback exercises of Qi Gong. This model attempts to restore the entire
energy and neuro-vegetative balance in the whole body.
