Tan tien has 3 locations: the lower burner, the upper burner, and the head. Each of these areas has its own characteristics and affects the others. Acupuncture point protocols to release disharmony and pain are specialized in each of the tan tiens. Kiiko Matsumoto will guide acupuncturists through the symptoms, palpation evaluation, and resolutions of chronic pain and disorders in each of the three tan tien, as well as showing the interrelationships between these three traditional areas. Classical and practical knowledge of the kidneys and zong qi will also be illuminated through Kiiko’s insights into the classics.
