Guest guest Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Hello all, I am about to take my US Foundations test and am wondering about a few things on the outline that I didn't learn about in my school. I can't seem to find out much information about " kokatsu " . Is this " kyukaku " , and is it cupping? Is " Kori " an ashi point? and is there more to " sho/confirmation " than deciding the pattern? Any direction to a web site or an explanation would help, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Hi Lynne, What's a US Foundations test? What's it used for? The terms you're asking about look Japanese to me.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 In the NCCAOM Foundation of Oriental Medicine Module content outline, it says in section C. Analysis and Diagnosis, 1e and 2e. Pathological point findings (eg kokatsu [kori], ashi. In 2n. it asks about sho/constitution. I don't know how important this is for the test, TCMtest.com didn't have any questions about it. I didn't find any real information when I googled it. Lynno Chinese Traditional Medicine , " Al Stone " <al wrote: > > Hi Lynne, > > What's a US Foundations test? What's it used for?

Ashi is actually less a word and more of a sound that someone makes when in extreme pain. The " a " is just like " ah " in English. The " shi " probably translates to " yes " . I'm not sure what the character is, but I suspect that's the case. So, when you're poking around on someone's body and they scream ashi! that means you found the sensitive point! In 2n. it > asks about sho/constitution. > Constitution is a large topic. If you're familiar with your five element colors, and perhaps types, that should cover it. They're not very clear if this is all they're saying. > I don't know how important this is for > the test, TCMtest.com didn't have any questions about it.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Whew! I was a bit nervous when no one could answer my question, but I wasn't asked about it anyway. Thanks Al.
