When Yang Collapses
Yang collapse – sounds pretty severe, right?
In Asian (Chinese) medicine it is a very serious condition that often has a long, slow and difficult path to recovery. Yang collapse comes about from a deficiency or lack of Yang(Fire) that progressively gets worse and worse. It’s a pattern that arises out of years of overwork, when serious illness drains the body, or a combination of both.
Sometimes we can narrow it down and find one thing that may have caused the collapse but most often it’s a number things that combined leading to eventual collapse. You played too hard, worked too much, became severely ill, you didn’t eat or rest appropriately, and/or you were under too much stress.
There are many avenues in which the body takes impact of stress, illness and daily living, and when we are vital and healthy we bounce back. Overtime, however, we may continue to dwindle and signs of deficiency will show up. It’s a progressive process that left unchecked will get worse and worse until something gives way. The integrity of the body’s structure and systems collapses – yikes!
Fortunately, it’s very treatable.
In this class I will help you identify the symptoms and patterns of yang collapse and what steps you can take right now to start recovering including life habits, herbs, and nutrition.

Hi, I am April Crowell
AOBTA® Certified Instructor & Practitioner Diplomate, Asian Bodywork Therapy (Dipl. ABT NCCAOM) Certified Holistic Nutritionist (CHN).
Since 1994, I have been a practitioner and teacher of Integral Asian medicine, Amma therapy, Holistic Nutrition and Herbs. (I use the term Integral Asian Medicine as my practice draws on the wisdom and knowledge of several cultures - Chinese, Korean and Japanese.)
I believe passionately that by empowering self and others in forms of medicine and holistic living principles to create a healthier future for our planet and all beings on it. I love foraging, growing and eating seasonal and sustainable foods.
My practice is an evolution of my holistic lifestyle and upbringing. Growing up on a small productive farm, an understanding of nature and our connection to it is deeply ingrained in my being. My interest in East Asian lifestyle and healing arts would lead me to years of training in Japanese Aikido and Reiki and then to the vast expanse of Chinese medicine as handed down through a Korean lineage of Amma Therapy. Ever expanding and integrating, my practice has evolved to include contemporary concepts including Contemporary 5 Elements, Contemporary Tongue & Pulse Assessment several forms. Integral Asian Medicine is holographic, recognizing that each person as a whole, dynamic continuum of body, mind and spirit.
I teach courses ranging from introductory to certifying programs and mentorship in Amma Therapy, Holistic Nutrition, Asian medicine, herbs and workshops. I offer online consultations and treat in-person in Boise, Idaho. Visit www.aprilcrowell.com to learn more, schedule appointments or mentoring sessions, explore blogs, and find recipes.
Be well, April
