The treatment of internal medicine disorders is much easier and more effective with an accurate diagnosis. Join Jeffrey Russell, an expert clinician and pulse diagnostician, as he discusses the diagnosis and treatment of internal medicine disorders through pulse diagnosis, auricular findings, custom herbal formulas, and Master Tung's acupuncture points. Cardiovascular, endocrine, respiratory, and pulmonary disorders are among the conditions that will be discussed in this course.
The pulse is one of the more subtle and profound measures of the body's condition. Using the pulse as a primary method of diagnosis instead of a secondary method is more accurate to the source text of TCM, and can reveal many diverse diagnostics of the body. Since the Cultural Revolution, the teaching and practice of pulse diagnosis has been downgraded, misunderstood, incorrectly used, and nearly lost, due to the movement to systematize and modernize Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
This course emphasizes the diagnosis and treatment of internal medicine disorders through pulse diagnosis, auricular findings, custom herbal formulas, and Master Tung's acupuncture points. Jeffrey Russell, a top student of both the renowned pulse diagnostician, Dr. Jimmy Wei-Yen Chang, and the foremost teacher and practitioner of Master Tung style acupuncture, Susan Johnson, helps to fill in some of the gaps in understanding pulse diagnosis and ear findings in a clinical setting as well as formulating a custom herbal prescription and Master Tung acupuncture treatment for your patients. Knowing how the pulse relates to both Chinese medicine and modern medicine brings a more complete understanding of the patient's condition.
From understanding pathology based on pulse diagnosis, ear findings, and basic vital signs to Master Tung's acupuncture point and herbal medicine, this course provides a comprehensive discussion on internal medicine disorders, and allows practitioners to better diagnose from a Chinese Medicine as well as a modern medicine standpoint for true integrative medicine.
Upon completion of this course, practitioners will:
Know how to approach a diagnosis with patients in a proper environment.
