Shennong Society Conference: Video Recording and Handouts

Shennong Society

Video Recording of the Conference and Teacher Handouts

The Shen Nong Society is an organization formed to support the vital and committed community of practitioners of East Asian medicine who design and recommend individualized formulations of herbs and natural products for their patients. These recommendations are based on the over 2000 years of practice traditions that have spread from China to Japan and Korea and throughout East Asia and evolved over time. We are devoted to helping our patients through the use of Chinese and East Asian medicine (or Oriental Medicine), and our community needs to be well informed regarding all issues that impact our ability to serve the public through our practice.

We endeavor to be the unifying voice and central source for practitioners, consumers, educators, growers, distributors, and regulators of East Asian Herbs.

Japanese Abdominal Diagnosis: Fukushin

Instructor: Kumiko Shirai

Starting May 15, 2021

Japanese abdominal diagnosis or Fukushin is the diagnostic art developed in medieval Japan  (Edo period 1603-1867 CE) based on the classical writings by Zhang Zhongjing. Careful  inspection of the Shanghan Zabing Lun reveals countless references to abdominal conditions that  could only have been diagnosed by actual palpation of the abdomen. The skill however never  fully developed in China but flourished in Japan. Throughout history, two major schools and  types of abdominal diagnosis developed; Nanjing and Shanghan Lun schools, which respectively  diagnose the abdomen in service of either acupuncture or meridian treatment, and herbal  treatment.
