Five-Element Pulse Diagnosis and Treatment Strategies

This course will train practitioners to accurately read pulses, determining the degrees of excess or deficiency. They will develop, step by step, the ability to determine what a given patient’s “normal” pulse should feel like if they were balanced, healthy, and “normal”. Then, they will learn to feel what is actually there. From this, appropriate treatment strategies can be carried out. Students will have the means to know, by pulse change, if their treatments were successful or not. Several essential treatment strategies will be presented, including Exit/Entry Blocks, imbalances between paired Officials (Organs/Functions) within an element, and transfers of energy using the K’e and Sheng Cycles.
