Session 7 - Cause of Illness
How do we get sick? In Chinese medicine there are only 3 ways, and 2/3 of the causes of illness are preventable. This lesson will take a deep dive into these 3 categories, all their sub-types with particular emphasis on the preventable categories with some self-help protocols added in.
Session 8 - Shang Han Lun system Intro
The Shang Han Lun system of thinking is a unique one. Even TCM schools don’t spend 3 weeks on learning it! This lesson gives an introduction to Zhang Zhong Jing, Classical Chinese medicine and why the Shang han lun system is useful in understanding Chinese medicine and its relation to self help illness.
Session 9 - Shang Han Lun Patterns Pt 1
Recognising Yang Patterns in the Shang Han Lun system.
Tai yang, Yang Ming and Shao yang are the 3 Yang levels. How do these relate to cold and flu, virus and other illnesses in acute and chronic conditions such as influenza, virus, common cold and post-viral fatigue type illnesses.
Session 10 - Shang Han Lun Patterns Part 2

Shaoyin, Tai Yin and Jueyin are all “yin conformations” patterns – learn about what that means for you as a person trying to stay healthy, activate self-care protocols and prevent illness in you and your community.
Session 11 - Emotions & Mental health in Chinese medicine
Emotions are one of the 3 main causes of illness. Considered preventable in Chinese medicine, so its worth investigating how physical imbalance can lead to emotional imbalance and visa versa. This lesson will help with both cognitive and physical ways to help EQ, address out of balance emotions, promote calm and peace in your life.
Session 12 - Constitutional Types
Constitution in CM is your genetic makeup – they way you were born. Somewhat irrevocable, each type has pros and cons, positive health benefits and negative health consequences if left to its own devices – Wet /Damp and Dry, Cold and Hot etc. this lesson helps explain why some people struggle with weight (in either direction), are prone to certain illnesses and why some people seem to be able to do “all the wrong things” to their body, yet stay healthy!
