Hacking Chinese Medicine - Course 3

Course overview

Whens the last time you were helped by the carefully memorized statement: The Lungs go up and out? This class explains how, in our modern times, the words Channel Qi have been intentionally omitted, rendering many of our lessons senseless. For example, most of the aphorisms and axioms that we learn in school refer vaguely to Qi or specific organs. These axioms are so vague as to be meaningless in many cases. By re-inserting the words Channel Qi into these rules of TCM, we can see how these axioms are helpful and provide constant reminders that we are supposed to be aware of the flow patterns of our patients channel Qi, using that information diagnostically and in guiding our treatment choices.
