Gynaecology is one of the most sophisticated branches of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), a medical system that has a long documented history of treating infertility and gynaecological problems generally. By drawing upon its traditional teachings and adapting them to modern conditions, this course aims to facilitate a thorough understanding of fertility and reproductive health from both TCM and western medical perspectives.
With surveys demonstrating a greater use of complementary therapies among infertile women than the general population, infertility represents a vitally important area of professional practice — and one that is full of possibilities for inter-professional exchange with infertility specialists. The course is ideal for aromatherapists wishing to work confidently with infertile couples, or who wish to develop gynaecology as a clinical specialty.
