About This Course

Course Introduction

Gudan Acupoint-Guided Moxibustion is taught by Weizhen. The available materials list four areas: bian-stone methods, herbs, moxibustion, and daoyin. TCM concepts of qi and blood, the zang-fu systems, and the Five Phases explain how the course organizes observation, pattern differentiation, and related techniques.

The practical course in the materials has eight categories: the 'four highs,' gynecology, nodule-dispersing topics, zang-fu systems, men's health, pain, externally contracted conditions, and body form. Further pattern-differentiation study is also listed. This describes the original course scope only, without promising outcomes for the corresponding conditions or body-form concerns. Confirm complete chapters, class formats, and current arrangements with a teaching assistant.

This page provides no herbal recipes, dosages, or individual assessment or treatment plans. Before moxibustion, external materials, or other procedures, consult a suitably qualified professional and follow procedural standards. Do not use this information to stop medicines, manage emergencies, or replace appropriate medical care.

Learn Step by Step

What You Will Learn

  • Understand the relationship between bian-stone techniques, herbs, moxibustion and daoyin in the course. Establish an overall framework before choosing topics for deeper study.

  • Understand how the original materials use traditional TCM concepts such as wind, cold, and dampness to describe the course, distinguishing course theory from assessment of personal health.

  • Organize the practical course's eight content areas, then ask about relevant topics and prerequisites according to your goals.

  • Explore further topics such as qi-and-blood and zang-fu pattern differentiation and Five-Phase constitution differentiation. Confirmed information determines teaching depth and course level.

  • Understand the neck, shoulder, lower-back, knee, and body-form topics in the introduction, recognizing that course scope does not guarantee individual outcomes.

  • Explore the formats listed in the materials, such as in-person teaching, internal handouts, and study discussions. When making an inquiry, confirm the intended audience, current arrangements, and boundaries of practical instruction.
