When the energy of the left and right sides of the body gets out of balance, we often has signs and symptoms that relate to that imbalance. When this happens there is also a pulse diagnostic indicator and a fascinating test that can indicate how out of balances the two sides are, called an Akabane test.
The treatment of left/right imbalances in Chinese Medicine is fairly straightforward, but is not taught in many TCM schools.
This Live Learning Event will cover the following:
1) What are left/right imbalances?
2) How to diagnose them in the pulses and through signs and symptoms
3) How to diagnose them with Akabane testing
4) How to treat them with needle vs. non-needle techniques
At our clinic, all our practitioners from various backgrounds learn and do these powerful treatments. They find them extremely helpful in certain situations, often providing symptoms relief for the client right away or within 24 hours.

In our society, December 31st and January 1st carry weight - a...
