Beyond Slippery and Wiry: Pulse Diagnosis - Key to Practice of TCM

This book change your practice! Your patients will rave about how good your treatments feel and work.

• “Your method is the best, fastest way for all of us to become better acupuncturists! It is plain and simply why my practice is so successful.” L.W.
• “It is well known to acupuncturists across the land that the traditional Chinese medicine pulse analysis by Martha Lucas is the most sophisticated, detailed and accurate reading that you could possibly have. We should accept her assessment and recommendations” Michael Broffman at Pine Street Clinic, a globally-recognized center for evidence-based integrative medicine where people go for cancer treatment.
• It’s time for you to leave slippery and wiry behind and learn how worry feels in the pulses and how, for example, it wrecks digestion by making the energy go backward toward the kidneys. Learn how depression feels, how insomnia feels. Dr. Lucas even explains how the Relinquishment Wound from childhood feels. Your patients – and you – will be amazed. Time to become the best diagnostician in your city!
