The most common TCM patterns in our western world, in my opinion is LV Qi Stagnation! We all have experienced it and probably still do! Stress can definitely bring it on very easily.
As practitioners, we truly have to be detectives, keep looking for clues, and get all the facts, in order to make a tailored treatment for each patient, and get a successful outcome.
In this series, I have decided to divide the Inquiry part of the TCM diagnosis methods by each System.
Today, I look at the Liver System and how to differentiate all its patterns with symptoms, and what questions to ask.
Enjoy the video below and let me know what you think.
And as always keep rocking with TCM!

Way to go Clara ! ! ! Outstanding presentation. I am not an acupuncturist or student in a “program” but I AM all about self empowerment & doing all “I” can to keep me healthy… Being 71 and in good health is a blessing … as I don’t “do” drugs or doctors…… I TRULY honor the fact that our bodies innately know how to heal & any symptoms are just good signals that something is out of balance & needs some attention… soooo acupressure is my way. I also have a “MA ROLLER” have had it for 42 years …. you lie on it & the weight of the body relaxes the muscles on each side of the spine keeping it in alignment and energy flowing… I love my sauna too……… and fasting is another part of my lifestyle. PEACE I always look forward to your emails….
So happy to hear you’re enjoying learning TCM 🙂
