Meridian Circuit Systems and Zang-Fu Syndromes
Learn a powerful method for integrating meridian based approaches to diagnosis and treatment with traditional zang-fu methods of pattern identification. This is a 4 hour training course complete with pdf files and audio mp3 recordings. In this course you will learn how the 15 major meridian circuit patterns, as taught in Meridian Circuit Systems, correspond with zang-fu patterns.
Prerequisites: Read the book Meridian Circuit Systems: A Channel Based Approach to Pattern Identification, or take the online course Meridian Circuit Systems.
This course will review the 15 major meridian circuits and patterns that form the basis of doing pattern identification based on the connections between the meridians. This will be explored with traditional zang-fu patterns and it will be demonstrated how Meridian Circuit Systems correspond with these zang-fu patterns. In addition, some of Master Tung's most important points will be discussed in the context of Meridian Circuit Systems and TCM.
As an example of course content we can take a pattern like liver qi stagnation and apply several liver circuits to treating this condition. For liver qi stagnation affecting the head, eyes, neck, and shoulders it is usually best to use the jue yin - shao yang circuit. However, for liver qi stagnation affecting the abdomen, stomach, or intestines it is best to use the jue yin - yang ming circuit.

For a condition like lung qi vacuity with asthma we could use circuits like the Metal - Water Circuit or the Tai Yin - Yang Ming Circuit. The circuit that is used should not only correspond with the zang-fu pattern that is present, but also with the patients top 3 health concerns and most prominent symptoms. This is why a variety of circuits may be used for treating the same zang-fu pattern. For lung qi deficiency occurring with kidney deficiency, or symptoms in the tai yang channels, we would want to use the Metal - Water Circuit. However, for lung qi deficiency occurring with spleen and stomach signs and symptoms, we would want to use the tai yin - yang ming circuit.

This type of rationale can be applied to all the zang-fu patterns to develop a more precise way to treat diseases. In this online course each of the zang-fu patterns will be covered in the context of which circuits may be used for each zang-fu pattern. This system allows for a high degree of refinement in choosing the best meridians and points for treatment.
This course is approved by the California Acupuncture Board for 4 CEU's.
