Pulse Assessment
Profound - Enlightening - Liberating
A time-tested, expert-level clinical skill that you can apply starting day one!
Chinese medicine practitioners have been using this skill as an effective assessment tool for centuries, and now so can you!
Before blood tests or expensive assessment procedures, practitioners relied on observing the signs the body gave about what was ailing the patient.
We still recognize that the pulse tells us a good deal about the condition of the body; observing the heart rate, the heart rate variability or the intensity of the pulse.
But there is so much more we can gain from observing the pulse, for example: where the ailment stems from, other organs that are affected, whether an ailment is due to weakness or excess in an area of the body. We can also utilize the pulse to detect if a chosen remedy is helpful or not.
