Continuing Education

Saturday, November 29th, 2008

I will be traveling back to Florida to the Chi Institute on December 3rd for a 4-day course on veterinary Chinese herbal medicine.  This module is focused on kidney/geriatric/urinary/reproductive health.  Chinese medicine, whether acupuncture or herbal medicine, is focused on rebalancing the body.  Herbal medicines can have a profound effect on the body in helping restore that balance.  Below is a description from tcvm.com, the Chi Institute’s website, concerning the class.    I am really looking forward to learning more about herbal therapy to provide a deeper level of care for my patients.
