A língua é considerada, na Medicina Tradicional Chinesa (MTC), um verdadeiro espelho do estado energético interno.

A sua observação permite complementar o diagnóstico pela palpação e anamnese, oferecendo pistas valiosas para a escolha da melhor abordagem terapêutica.

Tal como a MTC, o Shiatsu, o Chi Kung e outras artes terapêuticas atuam sobre os meridianos e os órgãos internos.

 

Por isso, integrar o diagnóstico pela língua pode ser uma poderosa ferramenta para enriquecer a prática e aumentar a eficácia dos tratamentos.

 

🌿 O que vai aprender

  1. O que observar na língua;

  2. O mapa da língua segundo a MTC;

  3. Importância da Língua como ferramenta alternativa de diagnóstico;

  4. Como distinguir síndromes energéticas através dos sinais na língua;

  5. Diagnóstico prático: fotografia e análise das línguas dos participantes;

  6. Apresentação de casos clínicos.
