An Introduction to the Saam Acupuncture Tradition

This class was recorded in the Summer of 2023 at the Preston Farm and Winery. The recording provides a foundation for the Saam Korean monastic acupuncture tradition that allows the student to begin using this system in their clinic immediately after the completion of the course.

The course begins with an examination of the classical roots of the tradition, drawing from the Yi Jing, Huang Di Nei Jing, and Nan Jing texts. Theory and concepts from these classical texts are assembled into a framework of Yin/Yang, Five Phase, and Six Conformation based principles. These principles provide the diagnosis and treatment strategies of the tradition.

To move from theory to clinical application, students are asked to apply their newly acquired understanding of theory to case studies that are provided by the instructor. Succesfully diagnosing these cases will strengthen their grasp of theory and enhance their ability to apply the system in their own clinic.

The course is $300 and is eligible for 16 hours of CA CEUs from provider #1404 and approved by the California Acupuncture Board.
