Week 3 - Chinese Organ Physiology
Classes at our acupuncture college in Illinois and Wisconsin delve into Chinese organ physiology, covering the spleen and stomach, liver and gall bladder, kidney, urinary bladder, and extraordinary organs. For those pursuing an acupuncture career, it's essential to understand the differences between Western organ function and the energetics of Chinese physiology. This knowledge will lead to a deeper comprehension of energetic pathology and future treatment strategies, making it an excellent foundation for a new career.
Week 4 - Organ Physiology and Introduction to Pulse Diagnosis
Essential concepts within TCM, including the art and science of pulse and tongue diagnosis, are fundamental for students pursuing an acupuncture career. By the fourth week at an acupuncture college in Illinois or Wisconsin, students will be able to recognize the classics of TCM, categorize various paired phenomena as relatively more yin or more yang, and differentiate the sets of five-phase correspondence, such as ZangFu, color, and season. They will explain the function(s) of the five substances, identify the Chinese energetic parts of the five Zang organs and six Fu organs, analyze each organ and its functional relationship with other organs, differentiate the functional properties of each of the San Jiao, identify areas of the tongue and their correspondences to organs, and begin to relate observation of the tongue with essential energetic qualities. This comprehensive understanding lays the groundwork for a rewarding new career in acupuncture.
