Daoist Traditions College of Chinese Medical Arts

Daoist Traditions College of Chinese Medical Arts The college remains dedicated to the revival of classical Chinese medicine teachings.

Grounded in ancient tradition but relevant to the 21st century, Daoist Traditions is committed to preparing the next generation of highly qualified Chinese medicine practitioners. Founded in August 2003 and inspired by the teachings of Jeffrey Yuen, an 88th-generation priest from the Jade Purity School of Daoism, DTC has evolved into a vibrant and dynamic institute for learning. A small college by choice, DTC offers the opportunity for each student to get to know their instructors and classmates. As a result, the college cultivates a tight-knit community that share an ongoing commitment to improving healthcare for the public.

Our sunflowers are opening to the late summer sun ☀️ bright reminders of both joy and resilience.

Why resilience?

☀️ Sunflowers practice heliotropism (they turn to face the sun). Even on cloudy days, they “track” the sun, symbolizing persistence through uncertainty.

☀️ They grow tall and upright even in less-than-ideal conditions, suggesting inner strength and the ability to withstand storms or wind.

☀️ After blooming, they produce hundreds of seeds, which feed wildlife and plant future generations.

At Daoist Traditions, each semester begins with MAHM and Dual Degree students meeting together.

We do a brief “Why & How” check-in—why we’re all here and how the year will run.

Connections form across cohorts, strengthening the learning community.

In small groups, students write personal mission statements for the year, share ideas, and set a few next steps.

What an incredible experience! ✨

Why do treatments often start at the hands and feet, even when the issue is elsewhere?
It’s not just convenience, it’s the power of Antique Points.
Also called the 5 Shen Points, these transporting points are located on all 12 primary meridians, below the elbows and knees.

They’re among the most frequently used in acupuncture for their strong effect in regulating qi flow, each representing a stage in its journey, like a river flowing to the sea.

From our classrooms to you.
