Re:Classics and TCM

[Guest guest]

Alon,

 

We seem to be in agreement here. Historically significant contributors

to Chinese medical thought have had a strong foundation in classical study.

The study of such material links the thinking process to some of the

greatest minds this medicine has to offer. That said, such

inspiration has value only when it is rendered clinically useful.

 

The notion trust but verify can be applied to

lineage-based teachings as well as classical material. Especially since

lineage-based teachings are subject to the influence of those who bear the

lineage.

A third discipline I find useful is the presentation of these clinical and

classical insights to senior practitioners for input and reflection.

How do you do this with respect to the classical material?

Also I guess we should define what are the classics. to me anything newer than SHL is not part of the classics
