Credit(s): 2.00

This class introduces facial acupuncture and cupping for the Chinese medicine practitioner. A review of the facial muscles, motor points, and channels that pass through the face will help students to understand the mechanism of action; and safe practices and reasonable expectations are discussed. Pattern differentiation is reviewed using channel theory and five-element theory as it specifically applies to treatment through the regions of the face. Finally, formulating for the specific skincare needs of the patient will be covered. Note: Additional fee required
