I'm ready to get started...

I could use your help..

End of 4th Semester

This semester is winding down and I didn't even get a chance to make any new posts. Over my vacation starting next week, I'll post some interesting things that I've learned.

I will also return to my regular postings next semester.

Happy Studying!

TCM- Liver Patterns 2 (Test 2)

The formatting won't allow for me to copy the charts here.

But, here is what you need to know for the test:

The Pattern, Clinical Manifestations, Tongue/Pulse of Liver. You do not need to know the etiology or the pathology.

You also only need to know these points for certain patterns:

• Liver Qi Stagnation
• Liver Qi Stagnation turning into Heat
• Liver Fire Blazing
• Liver Blood Stasis
• Liver Blood Deficiency
• Liver Yin Deficiency
