Description:

Developed by Dr. Wang Ju-yi over 50 years in Beijing clinics, hospitals, colleges and research institutes, it involves the rigorous combination of theory and diagnostic technique. In addition to channel examination, Applied Channel Theory is a comprehensive system that includes channel theory (channel qi transformation), channel differentiation, channel selection, the nature of acupuncture points, point selection and location, and various methods of channel regulation (like acupuncture, moxibustion, hand techniques and so on).

This two-day class will focus on learning the basics of channel examination through interactive lectures and hands-on practice of technique. Channel examination is a classical diagnostic technique not often taught in modern acupuncture schools in the West. Emphasized in the earliest Chinese medical texts (Nei Jing/Nan Jing), examination of the channels is essential to confirming diagnosis and refining point selection.

Channel examination involves the methods of observation, feeling temperature/moisture, palpation of pulses, pressing and palpation of channels. The emphasis of the course will be on channel palpation of the 12 main channels, and the various changes that can be discovered. Ren and du vessel palpation will also be taught.

In addition, an exploration of channel-based physiology will be presented from Applied Channel Theory in Chinese Medicine and An Introduction to Applied Channel Theory（《经络医学概论》）. The course will focus on lectures on channel physiology and their common pathologies. Common point pairs will also be introduced.

This course can be considered as an introductory course on Applied Channel Theory, as Dr. Wang believed that mastery of this system first requires knowledge of the channels, particularly their physiology and actual physical location in the body.

Future classes will build upon the foundations of his course.

Subjects covered will include:

• Classical channel physiology and a discussion of how physiology manifests with specific, palpable changes on the acupuncture channels.
• Techniques for the accurate palpation of each of the fourteen major channels, especially the exact crevice where each channel travels. This section of the class will involve hands-on work by the students.
• How to utilize information gleaned from channel palpation to refine and simplify diagnosis.
