Tongue Evaluation

Clinical - Insightful - Informative

Elevate your clinical skills with these expert-led tongue evaluation classes.

Is the concept of Tongue Evaluation new to you?

Or, are you curious to learn more?
In this exciting series of classes, veteran clinicians Matthew Wood, MS (USA) and Dr. Sebastian Liew (Singapore) (and occasional guest teachers), teach tongue evaluation by using examples from their clinical practices.

Learn how helpful and effective tongue evaluation is at assessing what is ailing a person and observing the effectiveness of remedies.

The presenters largely teach from the model of TCM (traditional Chinese medicine), with insights they've gleaned from other modalities and colleagues over the years, in addition to decades of clinical experience.
Following are topics that have come up in class. In cases where the client came in with a previous medical diagnosis it is stated. Other terms are traditional western herbal ways of describing the client’s state. Note: the teachers did not and do not give medical diagnoses.
