Understanding & Treatment of the Lung using Chinese Medical Symbolism

In the latest installment of our 12 organ systems podcast, we discuss one of the most important organs in the body - the Lung. As with the previous entrants in this series, we use the symbolic information compiled by the ancient Chinese to come to a deeper understanding of the Lung and its use in treatment.

Eric talks about the Metal phase element, the course of the Lung acupuncture channel, some ancient text information of relevance, and the basics of how the Lung is used in the treatment room.
