DIAGNOSIS OF THE PALM OF THE MASTER TUNG

When Master Tung treated patients, he first examined his palms, and only after that

examined their faces; therefore, in Master Tung Acupuncture, the diagnosis of the palm is

the first step. Teacher Dr. Hu Wen Zhi passed the diagnostic map of teacher Tung Palm to

Professor Li Guo Zheng. This map, which has already been transmitted in Taiwan for more

than 30 years, and which has been a secret form of palm diagnosis known only by Master

Tung's family line, has now been made public. Using this map as a basis, Professor Li took

his many years of research along with relevant sources of literature to compile and share a

clinically useful reference for the Diagnosis of Master Tung.

DIAGNOSTIC GUIDELINES: Examine the color of superficial veins, spots or areas of

the palm.

COLORS AND CONDITIONS:

• White palm: Means chronic pain, and inflammation

• Yellow Palm: Refers to chronic disease or acute jaundice

well as poor circulation.

• Red colored veins means: Severe inflammation with pathogenic heat

• Black / dark purple veins: Chronic disease, blood stasis, dangerous or incurable disease
