Overview

The Orientals look at a person as a whole - body,mind, spirit and emotions - as a whole interactive,fully functioning unit and a diagnosis is made accordingly.

This study programme looks at how the Oriental approach aims at treating the cause of the condition thereby alleviating and clearing away the symptoms, thus it can be regarded as a true form of preventative medicine.

A fascinating course that will also teach the student that eastern medicine is more in the mode of the Einsteinian paradigm which sees human beings as networks of complex energy fields that interface with physical and cellular systems. A wide range of oriental traditional therapies covered in this course gives the student a wealth of knowledge at their fingertips.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
