Hi! I’m Cara Frank, Acupuncturist, Chinese Herbalist, Author and Teacher of East Asian Herbal Medicine
Ten years ago, I co-authored a textbook on Eye, Ear, Nose, and Throat Disorders. It was a four-year journey of learning and growth, a journey I'm excited to share with you. As a writer, a practitioner, and a teacher, I've gained a wealth of knowledge that I'm eager to pass on.
Now, I'm here to bring my passion and expertise in Chinese medical ophthalmology to a new level with this Mastery Series. This comprehensive course, covering all aspects of Chinese medical ophthalmology, is designed to deepen your understanding of eye disorders from a traditional Chinese medicine perspective.
When We Learn to Treat the Eyes, We Simultaneously Treat the Spirit, the Channels, and the Organs.
Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or just starting, this course will equip you with valuable insights and practical skills. These skills will not only enhance your practice but also empower you to provide exceptional care for your patients, giving you the confidence to tackle a wide range of eye disorders.
Join me on this unique journey to mastering Chinese medical ophthalmology. This course is unique in its comprehensive approach, combining traditional Chinese medicine with modern ophthalmology. By completing this course, you will not only expand your capacity to heal your patients but also gain a unique perspective that will set you apart in the field of ophthalmology.
