Instructor: Brendan Kelly
Date: Saturday, November 7th & Sunday, November 8th
Time: Saturday 10:00 am - 5:00 pm; Sunday 10:00 am - 4:30 pm
Location: Lincoln, MA
Fee: $300
Using the lens of Chinese medicine, we will discuss the underlying causes of autoimmune disorders and the use of local western herbs to bring the body back into balance. You will learn strategies to address Irritable Bowel (IBS), Crohn’s disease, Celiac diseases, Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) and Graves disease, among others. We will also look at nutrition, lifestyle and the connection between the mind, emotions and autoimmune conditions.
Brendan Kelly, a Doctorate in Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine and a master practitioner, explores how our self-understanding plays a role in our immune responses and how heat/inflammation is often a root cause for autoimmune issues. The excess heat experienced with autoimmune disorders mirrors the heat of climate change and cultural overstimulation. Brendan will address ways to bring balance to our health in a world that is out of balance.
He will also discuss how major concepts and traditions in Chinese Medicine can be used to help identify and heal autoimmune imbalances. These concepts include Yin/Yang, the Five Phases (or Five Elements), and the Eight Principles of foundational diagnostics, all of which help illuminate the root cause of disease.
Finally, participants will learn tongue diagnosis, how it is used to assess the body’s internal environment, and its importance in the treatment of autoimmune imbalances. Students will practice their new-found diagnostic tools on each other to cement this ancient art of diagnosis into their repertoire of knowledge.
This workshop brings insight into autoimmune diseases, provides information about the herbs that benefit these challenges and offers practical methods for regaining balance.
