This course is an examination of the history and application of the two main tenets of diagnosis in TCM; the four methods of inquiry and differentiation to find the root. The first tenet teaches how to synthesize data obtained through the four diagnostic methods; observing (wang), listening & smelling (wen), asking (wen) and palpating (qie). The second tenet examines the differentiation of illness according to the theories of the eight principles; qi-blood-fluids; the zang-fu; the six energetic layers; the four levels of wei-qi-ying-xue; and the san jiao.
