Seminar Description:

Jeremy Ross teaches a unique system of diagnosis to help practitioners form precise evaluations that help clarify complex cases and the optimal choice of acupuncture and herbs for treatment.

Diagnosis and treatment:
Patients with chronic disorders are rarely simple to diagnose and treat, and many have so many different complaints and Chinese syndromes, that it is difficult to see the forest for the trees. Jeremy's new visual system can simplify complex cases and give a clear overview, and also help practitioners develop greater precision in their herb and point choices. This results in safer and more effective treatment.

Key diagnostic questions:
Jeremy has a special gift for zeroing in on the key diagnostic questions that solve a case, and for communicating this ability to practitioners. He will demonstrate how to use key questions to separate similar Chinese syndromes, and then give star ratings to each Chinese syndrome so that the practitioner knows how many herbs or points to use for one syndrome and how many for another.

Compare and choose acupuncture points:
In the 4 Qi Imbalances and 5 Element system, each point is rated 0-3 stars, depending on how much it tonifies, moves, calms, or drains. This makes it easy to compare points and to choose the best point for each situation, even from similar points on the same channel.

Compare and choose Western herbs:
Jeremy will show participants how to use the 4 Qi Imbalances and 5 Element system to bring out the essential differences between similar herbs in the same group. For example, how to choose between the sweet tonics saw palmetto, oats, American ginseng, and oriental ginseng, using star ratings from 0-3 for tonify, move, calm, or drain.
