WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
Master Tung’s acupuncture system is renowned for its unique point system and rapid clinical effectiveness. Unlike conventional meridian-based acupuncture, Tung’s system follows distinct theoretical principles that allow for highly targeted and efficient treatments.
This course serves as the foundation for this 6-part video series, covering the core theories of Tung’s Acupuncture along with an in-depth study of the Wu Hu (11.27). While later courses focus exclusively on individual Master Tung points, this first installment provides essential background knowledge to help practitioners fully grasp the reasoning behind point selection and treatment strategies.
Dr. Tian-Te Tseng, a leading disciple of Dr. Wei-Chieh Young and a respected expert in Tung’s Acupuncture, brings over 30 years of clinical and academic experience to this course. Dr. Tian-Te Tseng has dedicated himself to sharing Tung’s acupuncture techniques worldwide, preserving the lineage of this powerful system. In this couse, he provides a comprehensive overview of Tung’s system, covering essential topics such as the origin of Tung’s Acupuncture, meridian theory within Tung’s system, Dao Ma (point groupings for enhanced effectiveness), Dong Qi (dynamic energy movement between points), microsystems, and Zang-Fu organ relationships.
In addition to the foundational theories, Dr. Tseng provides a detailed study of Wu Hu, a five-point cluster with powerful clinical applications. He guides practitioners through the exact point location, needling depth, and manipulation techniques while discussing the clinical indications for Wu Hu. Through video demonstrations, he ensures that practitioners gain both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in proper needling technique and application.
Furthermore, this course includes a discussion on herbal medicine pairing, providing insight into which herbal formula can be used in conjunction with Wu Hu to enhance treatment effectiveness. Understanding the synergy between acupuncture and herbal therapy allows practitioners to create more comprehensive and effective treatment plans.
This course is taught in Chinese with clear and easy-to-follow English subtitles, making it accessible to a global audience. The subtitles ensure that non-Chinese-speaking practitioners can fully grasp the concepts and techniques demonstrated throughout the course, offering a seamless learning experience for everyone.
This course is ideal for practitioners seeking to build a strong foundational knowledge of Tung’s Acupuncture before progressing to the 21 essential points covered in the later courses. Participants can take this course independently or continue with the full series for a comprehensive study of Master Tung’s most important acupoints, enhancing their understanding and clinical practice.
