Traditional Chinese Medicine 2: The Individuality of Illness
Traditional Chinese Medicine evaluates the condition of each patient independently, factoring in medical history, yet emphasizing the condition of the patient as they present at the time of treatment. In this way, the assessment of a TCM practitioner, and the interaction between practitioner and patient, can greatly affect the diagnosis and treatment plan.

While this process validates the patient, it can confound observers, as well as complicate the duplication of TCM protocols in double-blind placebo-controlled research studies (the current Western standard for research). Yet Western countries spend billions investigating TCM methods, and China exported $910 million worth of TCM products in the first half of 2010 alone, according to a recent article in China Daily.

Traditional Chinese Medicine can shed new light on modern problems such as “repetitive strain injury,� as the pain may correlate with acupuncture meridians, organ energetic systems, and emotional / psycho-spiritual factors. While learning to identify the constitution of an individual and the nature of their illness, students will discover how an array of conditions can be treated.
Students who have successfully completed Traditional Chinese Medicine 1, as well as students with equal related training, are both eligible for this course. Please note that self-study does not constitute relevant training, which is determined on an individual basis by the ICE department and the instructor.
