Within this 6-hour class we will go over causes of Colds and Flu according to Chinese medicine as well as herbal, dietary and Amma Therapy treatments.

Amma Therapy is rooted in the same fundamental principals as Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine, focusing on the balance and movement of energy within the body.

These techniques aim to remove blockages and free the flow of Qi, thereby restoring, promoting and maintaining optimum health.

Amma practitioners primarily rely on the sensitivity and strength of their hands to manipulate the energy, skillfully gathering information through observation of signs and symptoms, listening to the client's complaints, scanning the energy field as well as palpating the body. The goal is to create a mind/body portrait that includes structural, emotional and energetic imbalances.

An Amma session usually lasts between 60 and 75 minutes. For this full body treatment, clients wear a gown and are treated on a massage table.

An important part of the Amma process is client education. Amma Therapy stresses client responsibility and cooperation in following through with recommendations.

Amma Therapy treats a wide range of conditions including:

• trauma from sprains, fractures, broken bones
• arthritis
• hypertension
• diabetes
• gastrointestinal diseases
• circulatory problems
• early stage cancers
• autoimmune diseases
• myasthenia gravis
• chronic fatigue syndrome
• asthma
• bronchitis

Amma Therapy works on both the primary and tendino-muscle meridians of the body affecting all the systems of the mind/body complex, therefore treating most illnesses.
