The British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) and the Register of Chinese Herbal Medicine (RCHM) are delighted to be joining forces for their annual event, bringing you the third UK Conference of Chinese Medicine.
Theme: Internal landscapes
“The marrow and bones reflect the essence of mountains and rivers; the blood vessels are like the currents of the great rivers; the muscles and flesh are symbolised by the fields and plains; the skin and interstices are the branches and leaves of plants.” 骨髓者，山川之精也；脈血者，江河之流也；肌肉者，田野之象也；皮膚腠理者，草木之枝葉也 (Chapter 5, Huangdi Neijing Suwen)
