Using Essential Oils in Chinese Medicine
Genuine essential oils bring a powerful new dimension to a complementary medicine practice. They are proving invaluable in complex or sticky conditions, where they can create amazing shifts in treatment outcome. Like acupoints and reflex zones, essential oils are largely electromagnetic by nature and are governed by the laws of qi flow. By deeply modulating neuroendocrine or jing shen functions through neuropeptide activation, they can trigger profound changes in the individual. They have shown empirically to enhance both the physiological and psychological actions of points and reflex zones without any additional burden to the digestive system. The use of essential oils represents a perfect complement to acupuncture and bodywork in general that is safe, user-friendly and extremely effective. seminar details

Detoxification As a Treatment Strategy: The treatment of specific types of toxicity conditions with herbs, points, essential oils and nutrition


Toxicosis, or the pathogenic accumulation of toxins, acts as an invisible yet potent stressor to body-mind balance both physically and energetically.
It has become a major component of today's most challenging disease conditions, including allergies of all types, chronic infections, autoimmune disorders, immunodeficient viral conditions, depository and cancerous conditions, and chronic inflammatory conditions such as fibromyalgia.

Although the concept of detoxification or cleansing has a long history in the West, it currently needs reevaluation to target the specific and potentially life-threatening types of toxins seen today.

"Thanks so much for a terrific seminar. I really appreciate the way you bridge the worlds of TCM theory, cleansing and detoxification aromatherapy and Chinese herbs. You have a seamless way of bringing it all together and an organized, clear presentation. You also keep it moving, which really helps"

Sharon McIlwaine, L.Ac.

"Peter has taken the topic of cleansing out of the toilet and has succeeded in turning the issues of detoxification into a practical, sophisticated and truly comprehensive discussion. This seminar is informationed packed: it would take me years of research and thousands of dollars in trial and error to compile this high-quality information. The Resources References page alone is invaluable."

Amy Herrea, L.Ac.

"Your detoxification seminar was worth its weight in gold. Thanks for all your time, energy and smarts"
