Module 2, Constitutional Facial Acupuncture Archetypes™: The 3 Yins

Constitutional Facial Acupuncture Archetypes™:  The 3 Yins; please note, participants in this course must have completed the May seminar, The 3 Yangs, prior to registration.

The 3 Yin archetypes -- Taiyin, Shaoyin and Jueyin -- represent the more sensitive patients that you will encounter in your facial acupuncture practice.  They are treated with more care and an awareness of their unique sensibilities.

While motor, trigger and "ashi" point needling techniques are still used to treat both face and body, other less invasive treatment strategies are employed, such as the use of magnets, press needles, and small intradermals, among others.

A full topical Chinese herbal protocols will accompany and enhance the results of the treatments.

Also included:

• Charts and treatment protocols for the 3 Yin stages of the 6 Stages:  Taiyin, Shaoyin and Jueyin;
• Recommendations for lifestyle changes for each Yin stage, based upon their archetypal patterns:
• Treatments to support the Yin, ground the Yang, and calm the Shen;
• Eight Extraordinary meridians charts, with points recommended to balance the hormones and foster longevity
