Focus: Dermatological & Circulatory Autoimmune Diseases This course covers autoimmune diseases affecting the skin and circulation, which visibly mark inflammatory changes. These conditions are rewarding to treat, as improvements can be directly observed. The challenge lies in addressing both physical discomfort and psychological impact.

Former Department Head at Chicago College of Oriental Medicine, he developed and taught advanced herbalism, acupuncture methodologies, and diagnostics. An international lecturer in Latin America and Europe, he focuses on Shang Han Za Bing Lun and Classical acupuncture, treating severe and complex diseases using insights from Chinese medical classics. General Goals Learn Chinese medicine (CM) equivalents of autoimmune-induced dermatological and circulatory diseases. Understand autoimmunity pathophysiology. Recognize mechanisms behind dermatological autoimmune diseases. Specific Goals Learn step-by-step treatment strategies for autoimmune conditions. Identify different presentations of the same condition and how to approach them. Develop individualized treatment protocols beyond a one-size-fits-all model. Program This 5-course series provides a comprehensive approach to autoimmunity, integrating CM and Western treatments. It examines the effects of steroids, biologics, and immunosuppressants, which significantly impact disease progression and treatment outcomes. Ivan Zavala has dedicated years to autoimmune-focused acupuncture and now offers, for the first time, disease-specific courses through Global Branches, providing highly specialized knowledge to practitioners. Certification: At the end of the course, a training certificate will be issued with the number of hours spent, if the student attended at least 80% of the live classes. This course will be recorded and you will have lifetime access to it.
