He brings a wealth of information and expertise to his teachings. In this intensive, Michael will focus on Tongue and Pulse diagnosis for the practitioner. Pulse diagnosis has always been regarded as the confirming aspect of Traditional, Western, Chinese and Ayurvedic herbal medicine. This course will provide techniques and tools to empower your ability to make an accurate pulse reading. We will also discuss and demonstrate Tongue diagnosis and its importance as a vital part of differential diagnosis. Tongue diagnosis is a very useful method to help determine the root cause of an illness and thus, a more efficient treatment strategy. Useful, for beginning through advanced practitioners and patients too. Learn how to recognize various tongue characteristics, what they mean, and how to treat them.
