Course Overview
As the essence of the plant, essential oils represent a very special and dynamic relationship of wei qi and yuan qi. In this introduction to the use of essential oils from a Chinese medical perspective, we will discuss the way in which any essential oil operates on the body via its nature and functions. We will discuss the care and formulation of essential oils and how to discern good quality and retain therapeutic action through a course of treatment. We will then consider specific essential oils created from both common plants such as Eucalyptus and Chinese herbal medicinals such as Schizandra. We'll examine how they can be used to work with disorders occurring at the essence level such as cancer, infertility, personality disorders and auto-immune conditions.
Objective
  • Comprehension of basic energetics of essential oils and Chinese medicine, including Wei Qi, Ying Qi, and Yuan Qi.
  • Comprehension of what differentiates essential oils from other types of herbal medicine, i.e. note, preparation and applications.
  • Explain the relationship between essential oils, Chinese medicine, and epigenetics, the science of how the environment affects our genes.
  • Describe the nature, taste, note, channels and dilution rate for 18-25 essential oils that are especially associated with the essence. These include essential oils made from seeds and herbs found in the Chinese material medica.
  • Provide a framework of Wei, Ying, and Yuan for understanding both how essential oils work with consciousness and how Chinese medicine views both destiny and consciousness.
