Pulse Diagnosis Workshop

Pulse diagnosis is the single most important diagnostic tool in Chinese Medicine. Reading the pulse allows the practitioner to validate their diagnosis and to fine-tune the treatment to the needs of the client.

This practical one-day workshop will cover basic pulse taking skills that will be directly relevant to your clinical practice as a naturopathic nutritionist, naturopath, herbalist, or homeopath. The course will emphasise practical pulse taking skills that are easy to learn and to put into practice.

You will be able to assess key aspects of a person’s health by taking the pulse:

• The strength of the Lungs and their ability to defend the body against external pathogens (immunity).
• The overall strength of the digestive system.
• Hydration levels and the various degrees of dehydration.
• The overall nutritive quality of the blood and the various degrees of blood deficiency.
• The presence of heat / inflammation, be it systemic or affecting a particular organ (e.g. liver, lungs, bladder).
• The presence of chronic internal cold.
• Whether someone is adrenally fatigued.

The focus of this workshop is to equip participants with the skill and confidence to identify an imbalance by reading the pulse. The workshop will not cover therapeutic approaches, as these will depend on your specialism.

The workshop will be delivered by Attila Szanto, CNM Acupuncture Diploma Course Director and Clinical Supervisor. He teaches Acupuncture specializing in TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) diagnostic techniques such as pulse, tongue and face.
