In this session we will look at the modern crisis we are facing in our world: becoming cut off from nature, from each other, from our bodies, and ultimately from our true nature. When we feel alienated from our nature, we become inflamed. Chinese medicine teaches that we are a microcosm of our world, founded on the principle of treating relationships. One has only to look at the fires raging around the world last year to understand the metaphor for how inflammation lies at the root of so many chronic health problems today.

The future of any society depends on its ability to foster the healthy development of the next generation. It is estimated that one in 48 children are now being diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This shocking number has risen from one in 3000 children over the past 25 years. Emerging evidence is demonstrating that some forms of autism are a manifestation of chronic inflammation. Extensive research on the biology of stress now shows that healthy development can be derailed by excessive or prolonged activation of stress response systems in the body and brain. Such toxic stress can have damaging effects on learning, behavior, and health across the lifespan.
Chinese medicine has the distinct advantage of offering a time-tested holistic perspective of diagnosing and managing complex neuroinflammatory disorders of childhood. Utilizing the principles of Yin/Yang-Five phase dynamics, participants will gain a deeper understanding of treatment modalities to address these conditions. This approach is applicable to other forms of chronic neuroinflammation that practitioners will encounter in their practice. Such disorders of toxic stress are rooted in a breakdown in communication between organ networks, between self and environment and between body, mind and spirit.
