Treating Colds and Flus with Chinese Medicine

Every year we go through the cold and flu season, not to mention seasonal colds and the random annoying viral infection. They can cause temporary misery, but also seriously affect our most vulnerable populations. Chinese medicine can offer a lot to treating and supporting patients suffering these conditions without adverse effects. This course will look at the pathophysiology and signs and symptoms of cold and flu conditions from both a biomedical and Chinese medical point of view. We will discuss real world approaches to treating them as well as a discussion of the major modalities of our medicine including acupuncture, cupping, and herbal interventions. Whether you are an expert or a beginner at treating viral cold and flu conditions, there will be lots to learn (or relearn) from this course.

This course will be a live webinar on Sunday, May 31, 2026 from 1-4pm pst.
