Tuyet, an 8-month-old Vietnamese girl, presents to the Emergency Room with a 4-day history of fever, diarrhea and vomiting. Her mother states, in limited English, that she thinks it’s because Tuyet was "exposed to the wind." Whether an illness is the result of an imbalance of hot/cold or yin/yang or bacterial/viral and treatment involves the use of medications, teas, herbs or rituals such as coining or cupping to influence the outcome......what is the role of the western healer in this process? Attend this 60-minute teleseminar and discover new ways to understand why your patients think they are sick and what they think will restore their health.
