Glad to hear it!

[@BaileyZLeone]

I did a test on that link you have and although I scored low. I was so excited to be thinking like an herbalist!!!

[@BaileyZLeone]

thank you your really easy to follow. don’t you just hate it when professors go on tangents leaving you even more confused than when you started.

[@TorontoAcu]

Excellent vids. Where can I get an autograph.

[@wchinlmt]

Dude, You are AWESOME. Just sayin'

[@tcmstudy]

Thanks.

[@beatawald3923]

Your way of teaching is fantastic!!!! Like a real blessing for a Chinese medicine student 🙏🌹

[@BaileyZLeone]

Do you have a video that explains the correlation with temperature and pulse? O.O

[@tcmstudy]

I don’t have anything on pulse diagnosis yet, but generally it’s the speed of the pulse that corresponds to heat. A rapid pulse indicates heat, while a slow pulse indicates cold. Are you studying in school?

[@davidgo8874]

12:17 if there are 2 schools of thinking are they mutually compatible? Should the student/practitioner choose one way only and stick with it?

[@tcmstudy]

They're not necessarily compatible, but people will still use both depending on the situation. When I say they're not compatible, I mean you wouldn't use both at the same time for the same case. But you would use one or the other depending on the situation. Kind of like how light is both a particle and wave, and you just use whichever interpretation is most convenient to you at the time.

@@tcmstudy Makes sense. Thanks Nicholas!
