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.
