I hope that you are enjoying our new series on Graph Analysis<\/a><\/span>. \"\"<\/a>These posts are designed to be an interactive, learning opportunity. I have developed my own style for interpreting the graphs based on the 12 seminar DVD series<\/a><\/span>, Dr. Fratkin’s Seminar<\/a> <\/span>and my own clinical experience.<\/p>\n

I’m counting on input from YOU! We have all developed our own little bit of insight through experience in our own clinics. By sharing graph-analysis and treatment strategies, we will be benefiting the entire AcuGraph community.<\/p>\n

There are four graphs that I like to review when analyzing treatment for my patient: Baseline, Yin\/Yang, By Element, and Energy Cycle. In my last blog, Graph Analysis Series #1<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span>, I shared my thought process for each graph. Today, I won’t get into details explaining why I like each graph. I’ll just jump in and start analyzing.<\/p>\n

Baseline:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Usually, I look for a Dai Mai problem on the baseline graph, but I didn’t necessarily see one this time. But, I am questioning whether or not this patient has some issues going on in the lower body.<\/p>\n

Reality:<\/strong><\/span> She is female and she is menstruating.<\/p>\n

What the yin side tells me…<\/strong><\/h4>\n

First I look at the yin side. The most important channels for treatment are the yin channels. I learned from Dr. Fratkin that if you treat the yin channels then the yang will follow. But–he also taught me to treat the yin deficincies first and then the yin excesses. On this graph, I am going to take some creative liberties to analyze beyond what the AcuGraph is telling me.<\/p>\n

You will notice, according to the AcuGraph, that there are not any low channels on the yin side. We see a lot of red and green, but not any blues. I’d like to argue that the LU and the LR are both low. AcuGraph has a certain ratio in which an excess and a deficiency is calculated. Obviously, on this graph, the LU and the LR didn’t make the cut. But that’s okay. I’m going to treat both of those channels as deficient anyway. I write down the points that I’m considering treating.<\/p>\n
