All Disease Comes from the Heart: The Pivotal Role of the Emotions in Classical Chinese Medicine

Professor Heiner Fruehauf will speak on the role of emotions in classical Chinese medicine at the University of Oregon.

Heiner Fruehauf has researched East Asian civilizations and Chinese medicine for 30 years. After studying comparative literature, philosophy, sinology, and Chinese medicine at universities in Germany, China, Japan, and the United States, he received a Ph.D. from the Dept. of East Asian Languages and Civilizations at the University of Chicago. During five years in China, he researched Chinese medicine both within the institutionalized TCM model (Chengdu University of TCM), as well as the traditional lineage system that continues to function outside government schools.

He presently serves as the Founding Professor of the School of Classical Chinese Medicine at National College of Natural Medicine, where he has taught and practiced since 1992. He also has an active private practice in the Columbia River Gorge area, specializing in the treatment and prevention of chronic, difficult, and recalcitrant diseases with Chinese herbs. His interest in preserving some of the traditional features of Chinese medicine led him to develop a database dedicated to the archiving of classical knowledge, and an herbal patent series for chronic and difficult diseases
