Course Reviews:
Fascinating discussion on the meaning
Fascinating discussion on the meaning of 4 Ren Mai acupuncture point names and their implications. Delves into the beautiful, esoteric and ancient side of TCM. Highly recommend for practitioners wanting to reconnect with the deeper richer aspects of TCM theory
