Jing (Essence), Qi (Energy) and Shen (Spirit) are Three Treasures described in Chinese Medicine. The doctrine also says that the superior practitioners are focusing their treatment on Shen (Spirit), while general practitioners focus on the Xing (Physical). Recently, most practitioners of Chinese medicine have come to know the importance of Shen (Spirit), but how much this concept is really applied in their practice is still a question mark.

On November 9, two experts from Beijing, China will give you the whole picture and its application in practice. It will be valuable for both students and practitioners.
