Es un excelente curso para introducirnos en un mundo de medicina alternativa, para entender la fuerza de la madre naturaleza y mejorar nuestro campo energético. Para los que no somos mexicanos nos hace desear poder obtener todo ese boticario y también cuestionarnos como son los curanderos en nuestra región. Muchas gracias por las enseñanzas.

I very much enjoyed each presenter and their presentation. I would have like to have had more in-depth studies on each topic. This course has given me new techniques to add to what I already use, as well as knowledge of the use of some herbs I didn't know. Thank you to all the instructors.

En general el curso es demasiado básico, podrían incorporar cápsulas de videos más amplias para detallar el tema a abordar. Y recomendar mayor referencias bibliográficas, no solo sus libros.

A pesar de todo, rescato conocimientos como el Moxa.
