Join renowned acupuncturist and herbalist Bob Linde as he takes you behind the scenes of his insightful presentations at prestigious conferences like the Florida State Oriental Medical Association and the American Herbalists Guild. Discover the cutting-edge topics and innovative discussions that have captivated professionals in the field of herbal medicine and oriental medical practices! This class will explore the nuances of visual diagnosis, communication, and the unique health considerations of patients with darker skin tones. Traditional teachings often link colors like red to heat, pale to deficiency, and purple to stagnation—yet these signs can appear differently depending on skin pigmentation.
