One Method for Treating All Conditions
The Balance Method is a key foundation for treating all diseases, internal and external. Developed by Dr Richard Teh-Fu Tan, it focuses on the logical needling of balancing meridians to heal body ailments — based on the Ba Gua relationships and the Chinese Clock.
Module 1 delivers fundamental training on the Five Systems of the Balance Method. Across three days, Acupuncturists learn to convert Western diagnoses into a TCM framework, apply Dr Tan's point combinations, and treat with minimal needling for immediate results.
