This is Part III of Master Key series, Acupuncture Point Combinations and the Five Elements: The Cheng (Overacting) and Wu (Insulting) Cycle with David Hartmann. We will be exploring Five Element diagnosis and treatment as an exciting way of helping your patients in clinic; with easy to apply and rapidly effective clinical results. David has an extensive amount of experience with two different schools of thought – Zàng Fǔ Patterns of Disharmony and Five Element (Wǔ Xíng) Diagnosis and Treatment.
What he noticed is that Australian institutions teach the Zàng Fǔ Patterns, however barely touch on the Five Elements. He has taught Five Element Diagnosis and Treatment in different Australian colleges since 2000, and also has three chapters dedicated to the Five Elements in his extensive ‘Acupuncture Point Combinations’ textbook.
