With the various stressors of modern life we are seeing an increase of autoimmune disorders. Environmental pollution, increased radiation, and ongoing emotional challenges can all contribute to immune hypersensitivity. The result is either allergy-type disorders or frank autoimmune disorders, such as psoriasis, autoimmune food allergies, Crohn’s, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, etc.
Treating the branch, the immediate symptoms of autoimmune conditions is straightforward; we have powerful herbs, essential oils and nutrients that can keep these under control. But these only manage the condition. As holistic practitioners we want to go for the gold at the root: a real cure. It is often possible, but for this we need to pinpoint the bedrock of immune hypersensitivity, the patient’s fundamental terrain pattern in his or her case-history (there are only three major patterns). This is the first unique aspect of this seminar.
Autoimmune reactions occur more easily when mental-emotional causes are present in the patient’s case-history. These are closely tied in with many autoimmune disorders, either as an immediate trigger or as a more long-term predisposing factor. Looking at these Shen related causes in relation to specific autoimmune disorders is another unique approach we will be taking.
Finally, we will be discussing the treatment tools available in a highly comprehensive way – including Chinese and Western herbs (granules, tinctures), and the powerful essential oils
and their specific methods of delivery (topical/internal/olfactory), with particular attention to dilution and dosage.

I’m excited for exploring effective treatment options for many autoimmune disorders, and very much looking forward to having the great discussions that always result from your questions!
Wishing you a smooth transition into spring emerging,
