Course Overview

Problems of love and relationship may reflect the strength and movement of the body’s energy, and may not be rooted in psychology or how happy a childhood someone had. Did you know that romantic attraction, and the relationship that follows, especially if ignited for someone who is, ultimately, a bad match, can be a sign of poor energetic health, just like headaches, back pain or asthma, and can be treated by acupuncture? Knowing how attraction and relationship patterns affect one's strength and energy, and having the support of acupuncture, can speed up healthful changes in the body.

According to TCM, romance, love and a patient’s experience of them are directly related to the condition of their Qi. In this 1-hour class, Dr Felice Dunas will introduce you to how a patient’s experience of love, their romantic life and their physical health, can benefit from TCM support.
