Course Overview

Discover the hidden knowledge on your face. Each facial feature and marking relates to the emotional and physical state of the body. Facial Diagnosis provides great insight and when applied with acupuncture can bring miraculous change.

In this course, CT Holman teaches Facial Diagnosis and how to read the different aspects on the face. Participants learn how to read when Jing (essence) was compromised for a patient and when the patient might experience trauma in the future. CT explains what emotions a person has tendencies towards by reading the face. He teaches how to understand the state of each organ system by reading the various colours and features on the face. These also provide insight into the balance of the five elements. 

CT gives several acupuncture prescriptions to treat imbalances found by Facial Diagnosis and shows how to treat any underlying condition contributing to the pathophysiology.

As a professor at the New England School of Acupuncture, I so appreciated CT Holman’s easy teaching style. I thought this was an excellent introduction to understanding and identifying facial features and their application in diagnosis. “Looking” forward to using this in my practice.
