Ni Hai Xia Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndrome Differentiation Reference

What problem it solves

Ni Hai Xia Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndrome Differentiation Reference organizes study material from Ni Hai Xia's Ren Ji teaching system: pattern differentiation, classic formulas, acupuncture, herbs, and common disease approaches. It is useful when a learner knows a formula like Guizhi Tang but cannot trace it back to pulse, heat-cold, bowel and bladder patterns, or six-meridian location. The skill is not a medical diagnostic tool; it provides a structured learning path based on Ni Hai Xia's framework.

How it works

• Question routing: maps input to diagnosis, formulas, acupuncture, herbs, common diseases, or health evaluation, then uses the matching references/ file.
• Six meridian localization: identifies Taiyang, Yangming, Shaoyang, Taiyin, Shaoyin, or Jueyin before deciding cold/heat and deficiency/excess. For example, Taiyang may show floating pulse, stiff neck, aversion to cold, and fever, with reference formulas such as Guizhi Tang or Mahuang Tang.
• Formula matching: prefers original formulas from Shanghan Lun and Jinkui Yaolüe, using pattern-first matching rather than disease-name-first labeling.
• Health benchmark check: evaluates progress against six normal-body standards, including sleeping through the night, normal appetite, formed bowel movements, 5-7 urinations per day, and warm hands and feet.

Limits and cautions

It suits study review, formula lookup, acupuncture point study, and herb classification. Traditional dosages require licensed TCM physician guidance; acupuncture, pregnancy, children, and weak patients need professional care. Treat the skill output as educational reference, not a diagnosis or treatment plan.
