SCDV - 135. Traditional Chinese Medicine


3 credit(s)
This course is an introduction to the interdisciplinary field of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Herbal medicines, including TCM have a long history and were the primary health care treatment worldwide until relatively recently. TCM has experienced a great increase in acceptance and use in the United States. We will explore the history, theory, and practice of TCM with a particular focus on herbal medicine. Topics covered will include key historical figures and texts in TCM, Qi, Yin-Yang and the Five Elements, acupuncture, and herbal medicine. This class is intended to provide a background in this fascinating subject, and does not enable practice of TCM on its own. This course is designed to fulfill part of the Franciscan Concern Core requirement.
