Course Overview

Z’ev Rosenberg, a renowned expert in Chinese medicine, explores the concepts of Ming men/ministerial fire in Chinese medicine and its significance in the clinical treatment of chronic disorders. In Chinese medical physiology, Ming men refers to the gate of vitality, the source of the body’s primordial QI or life force, while ministerial fire refers to the body’s essential heat that is responsible for maintaining physiological functions, metabolism and immunity.

In this course, Z’ev Rosenberg cut into into the ecological and philosophical implications of these concepts, drawing on the teachings of Li Shih-zhen, a celebrated physician and herbalist from the Ming dynasty. According to Li, the ministerial fire in humans is a reflection of the ministerial fire on heaven and earth. This has tremendous implications for the cultivation and protection of human health alongside that of plant, animal and mineral kingdoms on earth.

By examining these concepts and their implications, participants will gain a more profound understanding of the intricacies of Chinese medical physiology and channel theory.
