Respiratory and allergies
Colds, cough, asthma, and rhinitis. Acute versus chronic, Biao versus Ben.
How it starts
Acupuncture for the common cold works best in the first 24 to 48 hours, while the pathogen is still on the exterior. After that, the illness runs its course, and all you can do is relieve symptoms and prevent complications.
The rest of the lesson opens with Acupuncture III.
In this lesson you will learn
- Tell Wind-Cold from Wind-Heat and choose the right technique.
- Apply Biao/Ben to asthma and rhinitis: the acute attack versus the underlying root.
- Strengthen the terrain through the Lung-Spleen-Kidney relationship.
- Recognize respiratory red flags.

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.

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.
