Clarifying Diagnosis and Physiology for Accurate Herbal Prescribing

products tabs

When our diagnosis is clear and well-articulated, determining the correct treatment follows rather seamlessly. Proper diagnosis is also our best way to ensure safety in our work. When we are confident that our diagnosis is correct, we can easily stand behind stronger and more focused methods, herbs, and formulas. To diagnose with confidence, we must begin with a proper understanding of physiology. In the Graduate Mentorship Program, what we learn is based on the physiology described by the organization of the Shang Han Lun and our focus is on the application of classic formulas from the Shang Han Lun and Jing Gui Yao Lue.

This online course is made up from a three-part webinar series taught by Sharon Weizenbaum:

Part 1 (18 CEU / PDA / CPDs)

  • During this first part, we will organize ourselves toward all that is coming in the next two years. We will set the goal of feeling confident, highly effective, and excited about our work with patients by the end of these two years.
  • The first task is to see how the tools we have been given by our basic education in Chinese medicine are inadequate if we want to access the true power of it with confidence

  • By the end of this first weekend, we will learn what diagnosis is and develop a firm grasp on the foundation of diagnosis: physiology

 

Part 2 (18 CEU / PDA / CPDs)

  • During part two you will learn about pathology and patho-mechanisms. With your understanding of physiology, you will learn to clearly guide the intake toward gathering the necessary information so that the patho-mechanism is accurately revealed.

  • You will learn to apply the intake and diagnostic process for your own patients.

  • You will learn to identify and articulate the formula pattern, and from there you can go back and, through your understanding of physiology, see how the pattern gives rise to the symptoms and disease.

 

Part 3 (18 CEU / PDA / CPDs)

  • During part three you will learn abdominal and pulse diagnosis in lecture format.

  • This information will establish the foundation for integrating acupuncture into our practice with classic formulas.
