18 min
Lesson 8 of 23
Course: Acupuncture III

How it starts

Ryodoraku is what gives this platform its name, and it is the method it runs every time you take a measurement in a patient's record. Three lessons: what it is and how it is measured (this one), how to read the chart, and how to get from the chart to the treatment.

The rest of the lesson opens with Acupuncture III.

In this lesson you will learn

  • Explain what Nakatani discovered and what the device actually measures.
  • Recite the twelve representative points and their order.
  • Carry out a measurement under the conditions that make it comparable.
  • Place the method honestly: what it contributes and what it doesn't.

The real consultation: differential diagnosis of patterns, the great classical systems (six stages, four levels, Sanjiao), Nakatani's Ryodoraku protocol with electrodermal measurement, and reasoned protocols by body system. It ends with clinical management, applied chronoacupuncture, and an integrated case.

By the end of the course, you will know how to

  • Differentiate Zang-Fu patterns from tongue, pulse, and symptoms.
  • Apply the six stages and the four levels to a febrile presentation.
  • Perform and interpret a complete Ryodoraku measurement.
  • Design a reasoned treatment for the twenty most common reasons for consultation.
  • Keep a clinical record and follow-up with clear referral criteria.
