Chinese Pulse Diagnostic

The energetic state of a person can be detected by this method. Acupuncture points are selected on the pulse status.

Due to its thousands of years of history, chinese pulse diagnostics have produced numerous variants. Here is used a method of pulse diagnosic which refers mainly to the application of acupuncture and not to herbal medicine. It is taught in a  variant of Joan Duveen, an acupuncturist from the Netherlands. The focus here is not so much on the detection of exogenous damage factors of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) as wind, cold, heat, humidity and drought, but the interaction pattern of five basic energy movements, which may be called  generating (wood), expanding (fire), limiting (metal), collecting (water) and mediating powers (Earth) as are known according to the five phases of transformation of classical chinese medicine. Stagnation, deficits and dominance of these forces reflect the psycho-physical pattern in which man moves in health and illness. The properties of the acupuncture points corresponding to these forces are used therapeutically to harmonize the play of these energies.
