Extraordinary Channels of Traditional Chinese Medicine

The 8 opening points of the extraordinary channels can be used to remind the body of its original template formed at conception. Powerful healing tools for regaining or sustaining health and wellbeing. This material was the ground course for the acupressure therapist course taught in Sweden.  I invite you to attend because I have found that students benefit from an overview of Chinese philosophy, physiology and medicine to gain perspective on the specific tools they will learn.
