New Orleans - Tian-Lineage Shanghan Lun Pulse Diagnosis
2022-11-05 - 2022-11-06 | ICEAM New Orleans, Audubon Nature Institute, 6500 Magazine St, New Orleans, LA, 70118, United States
The Treatise on Cold Damage shanghan lun is the oldest surviving clinical handbook in the history of Chinese medicine. Written by Eastern Han dynasty (circa 200 CE) imperial envoy Zhang Zhongjing, it is an integral part of his collective writings once labeled the Treatise on Cold Damage and Complex Diseases shanghan zabing lun. But the contents of the Shanghan Lun as we know it in current day is far from complete. The present versions studied in Chinese medical schools as well as in the West, do not include the original first three chapters of Rules for Pulse Differentiation bianmai fa, Rules on Pulse Assessment pingmai fa and Cold Damage Outline shanghan li. Regardless whatever motivation was behind the historical deletions of these passages, of the aforementioned chapters, the chapters on pulse instructions are crucial for anyone desiring to fully grasp Zhang Zhongjing’s clinical instructions. Especially since the pulse patterns maizheng form the core diagnostic parameters in the establishment of the formula patterns fangzheng by which the canonical clinician categorizes disease and therapy.
Note regarding the Shanghan Lun and Jingui Yaolue Pulse Seminars: due to the proprietary and complex nature of these seminars, they cannot be registered for individually and can only be taken as part of the total sequence. The pulse seminars are open for individual registration only to Diplomates of Canonical Chinese Medicine already certified by our institute who wish to retake the seminar.

With the prevalence of digestive system & middle jiao pathology either as a primary complaint or an aspect of the overall presentation in modern clinical practice it is imperative to understand how to diagnose & treat such problems. This is especially true in the field of herbal medicine, where our treatments must enter & take effect via the centre.
To gain a clear, systematic, & clinically applicable understanding of how to treat these issues one must look to the clinical classic of the Shang Han Za Bing Lun (Shang Han Lun & Jin Gui Yao Lue). Zhang Zhong Jing understood that the correct physiological function of the middle jiao was of paramount importance in any & every pathology in the human body, & he clearly demonstrates this in his formula system presented in the Shang Han Za Bing Lun. (In fact he displays such a deep understanding of the physiology of the middle that one could go so far as to say the Shang Han Lun was the original Spleen Stomach school.)
This lecture will explore the presentations of common digestive & middle jiao pathology, including the underlying cause, treatment, & treatment progressions of such symptomology as abdominal & epigastric pain, abdominal & epigastric fullness & distention, nausea & vomiting, reflux, diarrhoea, constipation, & alternating patterns, GI tract bleeding, & GI tract ulcers.
But as any clinician will know these rarely present alone, & one is more commonly faced with a complex presentation involving a multitude of seemingly contradictory symptomology.
As such this lecture will explore commonalities in these presentations, & highlight where the same root pathology will cause multiple symptoms, demonstrating how to address & stage the treatment of these complex presentations involving multiple symptoms.
