We get lots of questions about TCM interpretations of AcuGraph results. TCM practitioners are sometimes confused about how to interpret graph findings that don’t *seem* to agree with their TCM training.<\/p>\n
One common example is Spleen Excess. What do you do when you see an excessive reading for the Spleen meridian in a graph, though TCM teaches the spleen can’t be in excess? What does it mean?<\/p>\n

Now, I’m not saying there is necessarily actual physical<\/em> water in the meridian. I’m simply pointing out that from a philosophical standpoint, the reading is logical. I’ve seen it many, many times.<\/p>\n Now, having said that, today’s example comes from our AcuGraph Community Forum. Dr. Shawn Soszka asks the following question:<\/p>\n
