*Understanding Master Tong's Acupuncture in Depth: Theory and Practice*

*Lecture in English by Esther C. Su, L. Ac., M. A. *

*A long term apprentice of Miriam Lee and student of Young Wei-chieh*

This two day's course explores the foundation of Chinese Medicine by
discussing the classics from the *Neijing* and *Yijing* with special
emphasis in relating the Master Tong style. The lecturer's extensive
background and experience in the field of traditional Chinese medicine will
lend to an in-depth understanding of both the theories and practices of
acupuncture.

The first day will clarify the classical meridian theory and Master Tong's
system including the Tai Yin meridians, San Jiao meridian and how it is
related to Tong's Points. The principles of Tong's system will also be
discussed.

The next day's course will focus on demonstration of diagnosis and treatment
as we see patients throughout the day. With each patient, we will discuss
each as a case study to allow participants to understand how to approach
each disease and its variations.

This course will be limited to a group of 15 participants in order to ensure
maximum interactive learning. It is also recommended that attendees have
some familiarity with Tong's points.
