This Course is for You

Recognising stress, what causes it, and how to alleviate it is the key to creating a healthy environment for our domestic animals.

This is also Unit 3 of the APA1 Certificate course

5ET Introduction, The Foundations of TCM

Traditional Chinese Medicine is a huge subject in its own right, 5 Element Theory is just one small part of it. However, in order to understand the 5 Element Theory we need a little context, and background so here is an introduction to the principles and precepts of this ancient healing system.

5ET-1: Understanding 5 Element Theory

This lesson covers the basics of the 5 Element theory. It will give you a clear understanding of each element and how the phases interact with each other.
Using the Five Elements is an intuitive art that is somewhat subjective. Try to catch the feeling of what is being expressed and do not think about it too hard. The more you observe the world through the prism of the Five Elements, putting theory into practice, the easier it becomes.

5ET-2 Getting to know the 5 Element Characters

In this course we are using the 5 Elements system primarily to help you recognise personality types, so you can take care of your animal in a way that best suits his nature. It is not true Chinese medicine but an adaptation that I find useful and accurate. In this lesson we will investigate the signs and indicators for each element by looking at videos of each type while I explain the keys to each character

5ET-3 5 Element Animal Care, applying the theory

In this lesson you will learn how to recognise the element types and how you can use that information to improve health and behaviour. You will learn how to support each element nutritionally, which training type works best and how to select aromatics based on the elements.
