Guest guest Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Hello all, I am writing to let you know about a unique opportunity to study Kanpo with Nigel Dawes. The Kanpo tradition utilizes abdominal diagnosis as a basis for determining herbal treatment. The abdominal conformations are based directly on Zhang Zhong-Jing's Shang Han Lun and Jin Gui Yao Lue. Dr. Dawes recently attended some of the Huang Huang course here at White Pine Healing Arts and remarked at the complimentary nature of his approach with Dr. Huang's approach. In fact Dr. Huang and Dr. Dawes come from a similar lineage, Dr. Huang having studied in Japan. They very much enjoyed meeting each other. Personally, I have found it incredibly helpful to understand some basic concepts regarding body type and conformation in the development of my clinical skills as an herbalist. Just to know clearly if a patient has a weak or strong body is such a necessary base for selecting formulas. Then to go further and know if the weak patient requires a formula that is headed by Gui Zhi, Ren Shen, Huang Qi or Bai Zhu and what the differences are regarding these conformations focuses the effectiveness of the treatment even more. Dr. Dawes will be teaching at White Pine Healing Arts for the next year on a monthly basis. Class begins November 14 and payment plans are available. If you have interest, you can get more information, hear an interview with Nigel or register here: http://www.whitepinehealingarts.com/kanpo_about_.htm Feel free to contact me as well.
