This year's theme is TCM From Womb to Tomb: Nourishing Health through all Phases in Life.
Whether it be acupuncture, herbology, tui na, or food therapy, TCM has a legacy that extends from in-utero health to graceful aging.
Nourishing life (Yang Shen) and extending longevity are the foundations of our system of medicine, setting us apart from the current bio-mechanical system which absorbs the bulk of healthcare dollars. As medical costs continue to soar into the billions with no end in sight, we as a society need to initiate a radical change in thinking.
Acupuncture and TCM practitioners have the unique ability to offer relatively low-cost and lasting healthcare as a viable alternative.
Eastern Currents has brought together leading experts to help you promote health through all phases of your patient's life. This year we are very excited to present the opportunity to learn from:
-David Bray
-Christine Chang
-Ilkay Chirali
-Bruce Ferguson
-Mao Shing Ni
-Will Morris
-Ron Puhky
-Sabine Wilms
-Zhongxian Wu
