Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chinese Pulse Diagnosis is a traditional diagnostic method used in Chinese medicine to assess the overall health and well-being of a patient. It is a complex and nuanced technique that involves feeling the pulse at various locations on the wrist to gather information about the state of the body's internal organs, energy flow, and overall balance. The origins of Chinese Pulse Diagnosis can be traced back to ancient China, where it was used as a means of diagnosing and treating illness. The technique has evolved over time, with various schools of thought developing their own approaches and interpretations of pulse diagnosis. In traditional Chinese medicine, the pulse is considered to be an extension of the heart, reflecting the state of the body's internal organs and overall health. The pulse is also believed to be an indicator of the body's Qi (life force energy) and Blood, with different pulse qualities indicating imbalances or deficiencies in these vital substances. There are six pulse positions on each wrist, each corresponding to a specific organ or meridian in the body. The three positions on the proximal (closer to the elbow) wrist are associated with the organs of the upper body (Heart, Lung, and Pericardium), while the three positions on the distal (closer to the hand) wrist are associated with the organs of the lower body (Liver, Kidney, and Spleen). Pulse diagnosis involves feeling the pulse at each of these positions and assessing the qualities of the pulse, including its rate, rhythm, depth, width, and strength. Each of these pulse qualities corresponds to a specific aspect of the body's health, and the combination of pulse qualities at each position can provide valuable diagnostic information. For example, a thin, wiry pulse at the Liver position may indicate Liver Qi stagnation, while a deep and weak pulse at the Spleen position may indicate Spleen Qi deficiency. By interpreting the pulse qualities in combination with other diagnostic methods such as tongue diagnosis and questioning, Chinese medicine practitioners can identify patterns of disharmony in the body and develop appropriate treatment strategies. While Chinese Pulse Diagnosis is a powerful diagnostic tool, it requires a high level of skill and expertise to perform effectively. Practitioners must undergo extensive training in the technique, including learning the nuances of pulse interpretation and developing a keen sense of touch and intuition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pulse diagnosis is a notoriously complicated area in Chinese medicine with very few practical or accessible resources available to practitioners to improve their skillset. This clear, didactic manual provides detailed yet user-friendly instructions for a pulse diagnosis method the author has developed called Mai Jing A-B-C, allowing for clinical competency and confidence in pulse diagnosis. Jamie Hamilton draws on pulse methods and techniques found primarily in the 3rd century classic of Chinese medicine, Mai Jing, that have often been overlooked in later centuries. He uses his teaching background to reassess these methods and breaks down incredibly complex concepts into simpler forms to enable learning and immediate application into practice. The method has been honed into six simple steps, each accompanied by detailed case studies to further aid clarity.
Download or read book Handbook of Contemporary Chinese Pulse Diagnosis written by Leon Hammer and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pulse diagnosis is a subtle yet highly effective instrument used in Chinese medicine for the diagnosis and prevention of disease. The method set forth in this book is unsurpassed in obtaining the greatest amount of physical and psychological information about an individual. Although based on traditional methods, it is contemporary because it recognizes that pulse diagnosis must continue to develop over time. In the hands of master pulse diagnostician Dr. John Shen, his apprentice Dr. Leon Hammer, and their students, it has evolved in recent decades to better reflect modern times and lifestyles. This handbook summarizes the key elements of Chinese Pulse Diagnosis: A Contemporary Approach in a portable edition. It is the result of the very hard work, by many practitioners, of extracting the essentials from each area of this subject. The present volume offers a clear and practical path toward a better understanding of traditional pulse diagnosis, while recasting its interpretation in the context of our own times. The book is organized in eighteen chapters. The early chapters consider such general issues as terminology, classification of pulse qualities, historical comparisons of positions and depths, and a methodology for taking the pulse. The middle chapters provide an in-depth look at each of the individual pulse qualities, identified by felt sensation based on such characteristics as rate and rhythm, stability, volume, depth, size, and shape. The types of pathology associated with each of the qualities are also discussed. Later chapters examine the significance of the qualities when found across the entire pulse, or large segments of the pulse, and at different depths. The relationship of the pulse qualities to psychology and prognosis are addressed in separate chapters. The final chapters on interpretation and case histories draw everything together to show how this information can be formulated into a rational diagnosis. Key information in the book is organized and richly illustrated in over a hundred tables and graphic drawings. There is also a glossary of special terms, bibliography, and full index to the contents.

Download or read book Complete Guide to Chinese Pulse Diagnosis written by Tony Michael and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-06-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners employ a method called "Chinese pulse diagnosis" to evaluate a patient's health by monitoring subtle changes in the rhythm of their pulse. It has been used for hundreds of years and is still commonly used today as part of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). One's pulse can provide insight into the health of one's internal organs, meridian pathways, and energy flow as a whole. The strength, quality, rhythm, and other features of the pulse can provide vital information to a qualified practitioner about a patient's health as they palpate the pulse at various pulse locations on the body. Interpreting the pulse in Chinese medicine is a complicated process that takes into account a wide range of variables, including the pulse's rate, width, intensity, and quality. These traits can provide information about a person's constitution, general health, and any underlying health issues or imbalances. Different pulse sites on the radial artery of both wrists are frequently checked, as they are linked to various TCM organs and meridians. The practitioner palpates the pulse with their fingertips, using varying amounts of pressure and paying close attention to the intricacies in the features of the pulse. Pulse diagnosis in Chinese medicine is a complex and intricate practice that experts say takes years to master. As part of a more thorough evaluation of the patient's health, TCM practitioners will also use observation, questioning, and examination of the tongue and other physical indications.

Download or read book WHO Standard Acupuncture Point Locations in the Western Pacific Region written by and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2008-06-05 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acupuncture has been practiced for more than 2500 years in the Western Pacific region and has become a global therapeutic method in recent decades. However, it was reported that acupuncturists differed by up to 25% in the acupuncture points they used, raising doubts and uncertainty regarding the efficacy and safety of acupuncture treatment, as well as causing difficulties in the fields of acupuncture research and education. Member States therefore increasingly began to demand standardization in acupuncture point locations. Responding to this request, the WHO Western Pacific Regional Office initiated a project to reach consensus on acupuncture point locations and thus convened 11 serial meetings resulting in these guidelines. This Standard acupuncture point locations in the Western Pacific Region stipulates the methodology for locating acupuncture points on the surface of the human body, as well as the locations of 361 acupuncture points. The Standard is applicable for teaching, research, clinical service, publication, and academic exchanges involving acupuncture.

Book excerpt: It is clear that the majority of Chinese Medicine practitioners lack confidence in their ability to correctly diagnose and treat patient illness in the clinical setting.
