Summer schools for acupressure

By Archived User | Updated: Dec 31, 2021 | Published: Dec 31, 2021

Hello.

Im so interested in learning this kind of treatment.I believe that the chemical drugs transcribed for the patiants are sometimes too harmful.

but unfortunately in my country alternative medicine is not strong inough. for example yeoman mentioned educational facilities in the US and UK. but in Iran there is not a good center for eagers to learn acupuncture and acupressure.

I dont know anything about summer schools around the world .If anyone knows somewhere near Iran that I can go for a couple of weeks and learn acupressure please help me.

I don&#39t but there is a huge difference between acupressure and acupuncture. Acupuncture in many countries requires you to be an MD and in others requires 3-4 years of post-graduate training. For acupressure I would start with our acupressure section and then perhaps continue your studying with a basic acupressure text such as those listed at the bottom of that section.
