Course Overview
In Chinese medicine, pulse and complexion diagnostics are essential for assessing health, though they can feel complex due to the subtleties of pulse variations and visual cues. This course simplifies these techniques by introducing a key yet often overlooked factor: the seasons. Drawing from foundational teachings in the Huangdi Neijing, you’ll learn how seasonal shifts impact pulse qualities and complexion, leading to greater diagnostic accuracy and insight.
Through guided exploration of the Neijing, you’ll discover how each season influences pulse depth, speed, and quality, along with complexion changes in color, texture, and brightness. With a seasonally attuned approach, you’ll gain the tools to assess vitality and detect imbalances with confidence.
This course also provides practical ways to build your observational skills outside the clinic, using everyday experiences to refine your diagnostic eye. By the end, you’ll have a nuanced, seasonally informed framework for pulse and complexion diagnosis that you can immediately apply in practice, enhancing patient care and clinical outcomes.
