It was such a treat to hear Bob Doane talk about herbs... and ONLY herbs (some pulse) for this 1 hour webinar! The webinars I've been to have mainly focused on treating pain with acupuncture (some herbs) and spritiuality/meditation. What a treat!
So here's some background information first: Bob studied pulse diagnosis from the great Master Jimmy Chang. Dr. Chang's pulse diagnosis is different from what we learned in school. The finger positions are a little bit different and the pulse descriptions are very different. Dr. Chang is known for correlating definitive pulse diagnosis with Western conditions. (Amazing!! I know!) And if you want to learn more about how to do this, Dr. Chang has a book called Pulsynergy [1] OR you can watch the Pulsynergy Made Easy series (1 [2], 2 [3], 3 [4]). Seriously... Dr. Chang's work is legit. So after getting a very good diagnosis by just reading the pulse, you will be able to prescribe a customized herbal formula for your patient (just like Bob and Dr. Chang do).
If you are just a beginner, just starting out, and a little curious about this whole pulse taking diagnosis, here is some great information Bob shared with us yesterday:
First things first... what organ is represented in each pulse position:
