About This Seminar
ZSA is a complete, separate Acupuncture system — a fusion of classical Chinese medicine and modern neuroscience. Founded on TCM principles (meridian theory, Zang-Fu organs, visceral manifestation, Yin-Yang and Qi-blood balance) and integrating Western sciences, it produces fast results across neurology, pain, internal medicine, paediatrics, gynaecology, mental health and complex cases.
ZSA is a complete system of life science deeply rooted in TCM principles and the wisdom of the Huang Di Nei Jing, healing the Shen through intention and Qi guidance.
