📚 UNDERSTANDING OKETSU: Japanese Blood Stasis Patterns
Blood stasis in Japanese medicine is understood differently than in other traditions:
• It's seen as both a cause and result of pathology
• It creates obstacle patterns that block other treatments
• It requires specific intervention techniques for resolution
• It often underlies chronic conditions that resist other approaches
Our November workshop provides both assessment and treatment strategies for these patterns.
Early bird pricing available until September 25th! https://shiat.su/jap-cup-microbleed
