Giovanni Maciocia, OMD, LAc
Giovanni Maciocia is a world-renowned practitioner of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine in Europe. Originally from a medical family in Italy, he trained in England at the International College of Oriental Medicine, graduating in acupuncture in 1974 after a three-year course. He was an accomplished practitioner with over 39-years of research and clinical experience.
History
In 1980, 1982, and 1987, he attended three postgraduate courses in acupuncture in China at the Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the duration of three months each, gaining invaluable knowledge and clinical experience. He reads Chinese, therefore has access to all the Chinese medicine textbooks, old and modern, published in China. Giovanni also studied Western herbalism and graduated from the National Institute of Medical Herbalists in 1977.
Giovanni Maciocia is the author of "Tongue Diagnosis in Chinese Medicine", "The Foundations of Chinese Medicine", "The Practice of Chinese Medicine", "Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Chinese Medicine", "Diagnosis in Chinese Medicine", and "The Channels of Acupuncture" which have become textbooks for all major acupuncture colleges in the world.
In 1996, Giovanni Maciocia was appointed "Visiting Professor" of the Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, a foremost teaching institution in China.
Giovanni is the author of many articles published in professional journals and his article on M.E. (post-viral fatigue syndrome) has been published in a Chinese medical journal, an honor rarely bestowed on foreign writers in China. Giovanni has extensive experience in teaching, having taught acupuncture and Chinese medicine since 1974 in several schools all over the world. He is well known for his rigorous and meticulous style combining a thorough knowledge of Chinese medicine with 28-years clinical experience. While firmly rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Giovanni's ideas are often innovative as the theories of Chinese medicine need to be adapted to Western conditions and new Western diseases. For example, Giovanni has formulated an innovative and original new theory on the aetiology and pathology of asthma and allergic rhinitis. He also formulated a theory on the aetiology, pathology, diagnosis and treatment of M.E. (Post-Viral Fatigue Syndrome) entirely from scratch as this, being a new disease, did not exist in the Chinese literature.

Knowledge and humble teacher
Obvious command of the material. Well prepared. Clear and organized. This is as good as it gets.
WOW! I never thought tongue diagnosis could be so clear! I love that he showed photos at the end and went over the points that he had covered for the previous 7 hours...fantastic! You could see exactly what he had presented in action. Great stuff!
Thank you all at Lotus for creating this experience for us to learn directly from DR Maciocia. It was wonderful to see and hear him in real-time. I feel he was able to clarify subtle nuances in tongue dx. After reading & studying his books for so many years it was a treasure to see him.
Have known about him for years. Have all his books, just never had the opportunity to hear him lecture. Thank you for providing this webinar. As I indicated in my email before.I have always taken many webinars for CEUs that were pretty worthless. But this is really awesome. With much appreciation.
Extremely clear. Very knowledgeable. Open to questions with good honest answers. interesting anecdotes. humble. extremely worthwhile.
Very knowledgeable and not boring

It was very informative. He is very generous in sharing his experiences.
The tongue master! Dr. Maciocia is a great teacher, such an honor to listen to him teach.
A true master. I need to learn more from him. Because he himself has studied and practiced thoroughly and knows himself, he can explain things very simply.
Maciocia is an amazing teacher; clear, concise, with great cases and examples of all the differentiations that were possible.
He was able to make tongue diagnosis much easier. Things make sense and fall into place.
Wonderful teacher
I enjoyed Dr. Maciocia very much. His wisdom and ability to explain tongue diagnosis is superb.

absolutely one of the very best i have ever experienced: extremely knowledgeable, very easy to understand (speaks using the same terminology that i am familiar with), very open to student questions, when appropriate.
I learn a lot from him. I expect to attend more class from him.Once more time, thank you for his teaching.

It was amazing to hear Dr. Maciocia speak. He is a wonderful teacher and was a joy to listen to.
Very knowledgeable and presented very helpful information
Does Maciocia need any commenting? No! He is so experienced and speaks so freely and easily about a variation of conditions and can always come up with examples and an analysis. I hope he keeps up the good work for a long time. Very sad he is not in Europe for consultation. Happy he does do webinars and he keeps up his website. And very grateful that he answers emails so quickly, being very helpful.
