One of the fundamental laws of Chinese Medicine teaches about the constant struggle between the upright, Zheng Qi of the body and pathogenic Xie Qi usually from the outside. When pathogenic Qi manages to enter the channels it can block the free flow of Qi leading to various responses from the body. During the lectures the ancient theory of the Bi Syndromes will be discussed together with different strategies of treatment and acupuncture points. Scientific knowledge coming from modern research in the effectiveness of acupuncture in the treatment of arthritis will also be presented.

– to recognise specific stage of development of the Bi Syndrome
