Small Acupuncture Graphic Symptomatic Diagnosis

Consumer Note: Multiple Sclerosis doesn't really exist in TCM, nor does epilepsy, or ulcerative collitis. All of these things are Western differentiations. Chinese medicine would treat these conditions as perhaps Qi and Blood stagnation in the channels, Liver wind or damp heat in the lower jiao. These treatments are based on the Oriental Medical perspective, not the Western perspective.

This page was uploaded in hopes of helping to demonstrate the different way in which a practitioner of traditional Oriental medicine might approach a condition.

Student note: These are the notes from a class wherin we organized information, not by Zang Fu differentiation, Eight principles, 6 channels, or 4 levels, but by the symptoms themselves.

The class moved rapidly, and I haven't had the chance to organize this information or check the spelling on these formulas as well as I'd like. This page represents an interesting way to organize information, but it should be cross-checked against other sources for more reliable accuracy.
