Thank you for your videos. I have one question though: you are saying that Liver Yang rising is coming from LV-Qi-Stagnation. I have learned from my teachers that LV Yang rising is coming from a dysbalance in yin and yang. There is a lack of yin or yin-substances like blood holding the yang in its place so that it rises upwards. In contrast LV Qi stagnation is leading to suppressed heat and LV fire which is flairing upwards. Can you explain how the LV-Qi-Stagnation is making the LV-Yang rising upwards? Thank you for clarification. Regards from Germany. Julia

[@Acuproacademy]

LV Yang rising can come from Liver Qi stagnation (most common in my 20 years of practice) but also from a Yin deficiency 🌷watch my video on Liver Qi stagnation for better understanding 🥰 acuproacademy.com/liver-qi-stagnation-symptoms-causes-acupuncture-points/

If one of the patterns matches the patient's symptoms, the tongue fits but the pulse does not, or vice versa, what to do? What is essential in diagnosis?

[@Acuproacademy]

Often there are more than one pattern so the pulse or tongue may not reflect the same pattern (also the pulse gets affected by a lot on a daily basis so not as reliable🙏). That’s why we look for the root cause pattern, we use the 5 element theory to see where it all started and address that pattern first which will often resolve the other ones 😍
