Chinese Medicine at the AMAL
The Chinese medicine that is proposed in the courses of the AMAL, historical school of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Liguria, is based on a concept difficult to translate into the scientific language in use in the West: the concept of Qi. According to Chinese thought, the material part and the functional part of every phenomenon are not separable, because they have the same root, this root is energy, Qi.
The Qi that condenses performs structural and material functions, what is rarefied performs functions of activation of vital processes. At the natural level, all phenomena are characterized by cyclicality, within these cycles are found phases that represent the maximum activity and the maximum quiet, Yin (quiet) and Yang (activity); the harmonious passage from one phase to another is guaranteed by energy (Qi) and its continuous movement that allows the renewal of life.
Since its foundation, AMAL has organized training courses in Genoa in the field of oriental techniques:

Always under the guidance of Dr. Natour as President AMAL and Dr. Fontanini as Scientific Director the team of teachers and collaborators has expanded to create a team of professionals of the highest level.
In the time the figure of the Tutor Teacher has been inserted for which role the best students of each course have been selected.
The purpose of this figure is to help students in their study and in difficult times in the approach to different aspects of the subject.
During the year, moreover, the AMAL organizes single-issue meetings, open to the public and free (for members), in which the various therapeutic techniques of complementary medicine are taken into account: homeopathy, phytotherapy, applied Kinesiology, dietary.
