Identify the floating pulse, felt superficially at the three-bean depth, reflecting exterior syndromes and Wei qi; link it to Ma Huang Tang and Gui Zhi Tang within a six-part framework.
Explore the deep pulse, felt only with heavy pressure and depth beyond 9 beans. Cold damp, qi stagnation, and yang deficiency shape its meaning and guide related formulas.
Identify the hidden pulse, a yin pulse felt only with extreme pressure beneath the deep pulse, signaling deep qi obstruction and potential internal pathology.
Explore the slippery pulse, its two forms—excess and deficiency—and physiological variants, with visualization, mechanisms, and clinical clues linking phlegm, retained food, and damp-heat patterns.
Identify and characterize the choppy pulse, its grainy texture and slow movement. Distinguish cold, heat, and dry types with their clinical patterns and related formulas.
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) pulse diagnosis, focusing on both theoretical foundations and practical applications. You will learn how to identify and interpret the classical 28 pulse types, understand their pathological significance, and apply this knowledge in clinical diagnosis and prescription.
While pulse diagnosis has long held a mysterious aura—appearing to reveal all hidden illnesses—in reality, accurately diagnosing a patient and formulating an effective treatment plan based solely on the pulse is a complex skill that requires structured training and experience. This course is designed to demystify pulse diagnosis and teach you how to logically connect the clinical axis of palpation → diagnosis → prescription through clear, practical instruction.
What You Will Learn:
The origin, evolution, and modern clinical application of pulse diagnosis
Proper palpation techniques, force control, and clinical precautions
The classification, definitions, and mechanisms of the 28 traditional pulse types
The clinical significance, associated diseases, formulas, and herbal patterns of each pulse
In-depth explanation and demonstration of five key pulses: Floating (Fu Mai), Deep (Chen Mai), Hidden (Fu Mai), Slippery (Hua Mai), and Choppy (Se Mai)
