About This Course
Course Introduction
Taiyi Lingxi Method is taught by Gu Jin. The course takes care of the five zang as its foundation, organizes study around causes and mechanisms of illness, and focuses on symptom analysis and practical approaches. It emphasizes combining one basic prescription with Gu Family acupuncture points to develop applications in several directions. Topics include the nervous, respiratory, digestive, and circulatory systems; pain; reproductive, gynecological, and skin concerns; and complex conditions. On-site demonstrations also cover weight management, dorsocervical fat pads, insomnia, detoxification practices, cosmetic care, and joint problems.

Learning Experiences
Student Feedback
The biggest benefit for me was learning to break complex issues down by zang-fu systems and symptom topics, so my study became less confused.
The idea of combining a basic prescription with distinctive points is easy to follow and suits someone like me who is just beginning to learn needling methods.
The insomnia, dorsocervical fat-pad, and joint-concern cases are practical, and I have organized them into my own notes.
