Jin Family TCM: Five-Phase Ascending and Descending

Course Introduction

Taught by Jin Chaojie, Jin Family Five-Phase Ascending and Descending TCM starts from zang-fu functions and combines qi monism, yin-yang theory and the Five Phases. It groups the development of illness into inadequate ascending on the left or descending on the right, helping learners develop a simpler assessment and regulation framework. Topics include pulse, tongue and facial assessment, ascending-descending interpretation, related needling methods, herbal combinations, moxibustion prescriptions, and applications involving internal medicine, gynaecology, men's health, pain, paediatrics and mental-emotional concerns.

What You Will Learn

This course teaches basic assessment of left-side ascending and right-side descending movement, and how to identify the direction of an imbalance using bilateral pulses, upper and lower body regions, timing patterns, and zang-fu functions.

Organize assessment, needling, herbal medicine, and common-condition applications into units, helping enthusiasts and practitioners review complex presentations within a clearer ascending-and-descending framework.

Student Feedback

The left-ascending, right-descending framework is useful for review. I realized that many concerns can first be assessed by direction before considering a method.

Pulse assessment, needling, and herbal formulas are taught together, which is helpful for practitioners.

My TCM study used to be fragmented. After this course, I finally had an overall approach I could return to repeatedly.
