Welcome

Classical Chinese Medicine reflects the voices of an international movement seeking to honour and restore the classical origins of Chinese medicine.

This site features articles, lectures, and practical demonstrations by Heiner Fruehauf, PhD, LAc, Founding Professor of the College of Classical Chinese Medicine at the National University of Natural Medicine and a group of like-minded scholars in China and the West who are committed to transmit the time-honoured science of Eastern medicine as a highly sophisticated and deeply spiritual art form.

Objective of this Website

The primary goal of the site is to become an archive for a variety of unique material on Classical Chinese Medicine and its importance in clinical and educational settings. Our website features an extensive collection of video-taped lectures and previously unpublished written material, which invite you to engage with and participate in constructive dialogue. Our goal is to foster interaction between students, practitioners, and scholars of Chinese medicine in order to preserve its essence and promote its importance around the world.

The Cosmic Map: Unlocking the Clinical Potential of the Acupuncture Point Names

With Heiner Fruehauf
Begins October 5, 2024

This series is designed to further the lifelong learner’s journey as they deepen their mastery of acupuncture point selections based on the profound information embedded in their classical names. It accommodates the needs and interest of all levels, from students of Chinese medicine and newer practitioners to seasoned practitioners who are ever-refining their capacity to successfully treat any condition presented in the clinic.

For each of the twelve primary channel systems, Heiner will analyze the original meaning of each point name in its multilayered complexity. The ancient acupuncture point names not only serve as mnemonic reminders about the location of each point, but also contain significant information revealing the unique energetic qualities and highly specific physiology and pathology of each point.

Heiner will take you on a tour-de-force teasing out each layer of meaning through multiple translations—a feat that has never been done before in any published work on acupuncture in China or the West. In each instance, clinical context will be provided by the presentation of case examples or experience based comments by senior acupuncturists Bob Quinn and Michael Berletich.

Includes 60 NCCAOM, California, Florida, and Standard CE credits*

Revitalizing Eco-Retreat in Mexico

Qigong, Nature, and Rejuvenation with Heiner Fruehauf
December 14-21, 2024
Playa Viva Eco-Resort
Zihuatanejo, Mexico

My German ancestors, physicians in the European Nature Cure tradition, all emphasized the importance of rest and relaxation in natural settings. Since I was a little boy, therefore, oceans and mountains and forests have always held the promise of revitalization for me. I like nothing better than to spend my vacations on undeveloped earth, preferably in places that offer authentic regional food! While the combination of pristine natural scenery and delectable cooking is hard to find, there are several places in the world where I regularly return to because they embody this formula. Playa Viva, an eco-resort situated on an undeveloped stretch of the Pacific Coast in Mexico, is such a place.

I invite you to join me at Playa Viva for a glorious immersion in the bounties of nature—perfect temperature salt water, dolphins swimming by the breakfast table, hatching turtles, sunrise walks along miles of pristine beach, daily qigong sessions in an oceanside studio, and lovingly prepared organic meals made from materials produced on-site.

A MESSAGE FROM HEINER FRUEHAUF

It is with great sadness that I inform you of Prof. Deng Zhongjia’s passing on February 26, 2022. Prof. Deng’s prolific work and academic philosophy was perhaps the most important influence on the process of founding the College of Classical Chinese Medicine at NUNM thirty years ago.
