A gift from Orion Herbs to the acupuncture community.

We’re pleased to offer a complimentary CEU course, in partnership with NSEV Healing Academy: Chinese Herbs for Peaceful Sleep, taught by Daniel J. Atchison-Nevel, AP.

It’s three hours and earns 3 CEUs for Florida acupuncturists. It’s on-demand, so you can watch whenever it suits you, and it stays available to you for a full year.

Daniel walks through his approach to diagnosing sleep disturbances: the Shen’s role in sleep, where Western sleep research and the Chinese medicine view meet, and which classical and modern formulas he reaches for and why. If you have patients who fall asleep easily but wake at 3am, you’ll find a lot here to take back to your treatment room.

Normally $75, with our code there’s no cost. Just enter the code Orionguest at checkout. The code is good until October 31st.
