About the Instructor

Mind and feelings powerfully influence physical symptoms as well as the outcome of disease in general. Mental and emotional disorders account for a large percentage of modern conditions, only some of which are actually diagnosed in Western medicine as mood and anxiety disorders. Chinese medicine provides an excellent framework for treating preclinical as well as diagnosed dysfunctions of this type. The ability to identify, evaluate and treat these common conditions can therefore make a big difference in clinical practice. In the case of patients on medication, timely treatment may also reduce the need for medication and counteract their side effects.

This seminar will focus on essential oils and oil formulas for treating these disorders. We will study the mental-emotional impact of essential oils with different fragrance values from the perspective of body-mind energetics. The discussion will include the unique neuroendocrine functions of essential oils on mind and affect as they modulate specific hormones and neurotransmitters.
