New CPD Course: How to Fix the Biochemistry of Post-Pandemic Anxiety and Depression with Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Formulae

What do you do when your acupuncture doesn't work?

You have done the full diagnosis and identified the correct syndrome but, after several sessions, still no improvement in the anxiety or depression of your patient.

And how do you adapt your practice to a world shaken and depleted by the COVID-19 pandemic, where the prevalence of anxiety and depression increased by a massive 25%, according to the WHO survey. In the UK, this public health crisis will persist as a part of the emerging Long Covid stranglehold.

Acupuncture's Post-Pandemic Paradigm Shift?

There will be no vaccine for the Long Covid syndrome, but there is a big opportunity for you to use your acupuncture skills to successfully treat the post-pandemic anxiety and depression caused by an unprecedented combination of grief, isolation and paralysing stress.

Now, what are your chances of success? That depends on how well you understand the biochemical basis of mental health and disease, and how you can use that knowledge to upgrade your syndrome differentiation. Our next CPD Zoom course, accredited by the CMIR, will teach you what you need to know and how to apply it.

Dr Xuhua Han (Dean of Studies at the CMIR, acupuncturist and herbalist at AcuMedic Centre) will explain how to use acupuncture to fix the hormonal and neurotransmitter imbalances behind the post-pandemic emotional disorders.

To help your acupuncture work, Dr Han will translate for you the latest scientific research on the biochemistry of anxiety and depression and she will explain how to use this crucial information in your choice of acupoints.

Chinese Herbal Medicine Made Easy

While acupuncture can be effective, that effectiveness depends on the body's own self-healing powers. You might first have to help the patient tonify their energy with targeted nutrition from some Chinese herbs. And you still have to consider the biochemistry of the internal environment in which your intended acupuncture effects are supposed to happen.

That's why in addition to tonification, Dr Han will share with you her strategy of 'detoxification': how to use Chinese herbs to stabilise the body's internal environment and allow your acupuncture to achieve maximum effect against anxiety or depression.

Ultimately, mental and physical health depend on a chemical balance. While the meridians may be cleared from blockages, you still need to ensure that the right hormones and neurotransmitters are populating the body's pathways. You need to upgrade your acupuncture strategy with this kind of knowledge, and you need not avoid Chinese herbs. Dr Han will recommend ready-made herbal formulae you can get to improve your chances of success against emotional disorders.
