We will be offering these free treatments with the help of translators to the local population. The clinic will be held in the “banjar”( the main meeting hall where important village decisions are made by the village chief and elders). The clinics will give you the hands-on experience to put into practice the topics from the morning classes. Each week there will be 2 pediatric clinics and 2 women’s clinics. The Ob-Gyn classes will cover: Syndrome differentiation, acupuncture point prescription and Chinese herbal formulas for pregnancy related problems ( morning sickness, edema, hypertension…) Post-partum ailments (lactation problems, pain, depression…) and long time range disorders originating from unhealed deliveries, or depletion from nursing time, which often affect mothers.
