ICZO Course Muchin Herbal Masterblends
ICZO Course Muchin Herbal Masterblends
Eén volledige dag, dertien formules. Anneleen en ShaoMin behandelen ze stuk voor stuk, aan de hand van de profielfiche die bij elke Masterblend hoort: het symptomenbeeld, de diagnose volgens de TCM (Traditionele Chinese Geneeskunde), de observaties van de tong en de pols, de ingrediënten, de werking en de gebruiksinstructies.
Je leert ook werken met de overzichtstabel. Deze is ontwikkeld omdat therapeuten zelden de tijd hebben om dertien afzonderlijke fiches naast elkaar te leggen. Aan de hand van enkele eenvoudige parameters kom je zo uit bij de formule die het beste aansluit.
We bekijken welke Masterblends elkaar aanvullen – en daarom vaak in combinatie worden voorgeschreven – en op welke klassieke formules ze zijn gebaseerd. Deze aanpassingen zijn niet zomaar tot stand gekomen; ze zijn specifiek ontwikkeld voor het lichaam van de westerse patiënt, na twee jaar van klinische verfijning in de eigen praktijken van de oprichters.
De dag begint met het verhaal achter Muchin en een toelichting op de kwaliteitscontrole: waar de kruiden vandaan komen, waarom de capsules geen maïszetmeel, magnesiumstearaat of maltodextrine bevatten, en wat de notificatie bij het FAVV (inclusief NUT-nummer) betekent voor jou en je patiënt.
Er is geen voorkennis van fytotherapie vereist.

Practical
ICZO provides the syllabus. Continuous coffee breaks and a sandwich lunch are included, as is the underground parking. This course does not qualify for the KMO-portefeuille, but as a self-employed practitioner you can deduct it as a professional expense.
