Explore a “classical” Chinese medicine approach to fertility and early pregnancy. Examine the physiology of pregnancy from this view to strengthen the power of pattern differentiation. We will consider physiology through the great sweeping motions of the six conformations, as discussed in both the Huangdi Neijing and the Shang Han Za Bing Lun. This approach integrates our Chinese medical understanding with a dynamic view of a woman’s ability to restore natural fertility. We will discover how the extraordinary channels of the eight vessels can be seen through the lens of the six conformations, consistent with these classical texts. Beyond fertility, this class will cover early pregnancy and habitual miscarriage. In this way, our work enhances early pregnancy outcomes, and the outcomes of full-term pregnancy and birth.
