Advanced Tongue Diagnosis: Expanded Models in Chinese Medicine
Innovative Chinese Medical Program with
Dr. Evan Rabinowitz
How Do Complex Conditions Present on the Tongue? Expand Your Diagnostic Possibilities ....
This class covers the foundational organ model, then expands tongue diagnostics to reveal nuanced features, new mappings, lesser known zones and clear diagnostics using high quality clinical tongue photos.
Most practitioners were taught five zones and a handful of coatings. Your patients are presenting with hormone dysfunction, post-chemo depletion, spinal degeneration and trauma. You need a more complex and complete map.
Are you ready for exceptional accuracy in TONGUE DIAGNOSIS?
Are you confident your tongue diagnosis skills are reliable and clinically relevant?
Are you still just using the basic Zang Fu regions map, even though your patients' complaints are anything but basic?
Do you know how to find unique zones for expanded organs and structures such as brain, spine, thyroid, esophagus and diaphragm?
Are you able to use tongue diagnosis to decipher complex conditions such as hormone dysfunction, cancer or endometriosis?
If you hesitated on any of those, you were handed an incomplete map. This course will help you fill in these gaps.

Learn Tongue Diagnosis with Pinpoint Accuracy
Make a commitment this year to advance your skill!
Tongue diagnosis is one of the pillars of Chinese medicine. It is a crucial skill for flexibility in clinical practice.
Most practitioners continue to rely on the foundational model given in their first year of education without expanded study, even as their other diagnostic skills and treatment capacities mature.
There are few resources to actualize the potential that tongue diagnosis offers. Looking through manuals is not enough to acquire the subtlety in order to advance your skills.
This course offers a coherent method and structure with expert feedback to make a real difference in your diagnosis.
Evan opens his observation catalog of over 25 years. This is not abstract theory, but practical clinical experience.
