Master Tung’s Advanced Acupuncture Seminar in Madrid
Register Now — Early Bird €550
Seminar Overview
This 3-day advanced acupuncture seminar in Madrid focuses on two essential components of Master Tung’s Acupuncture: Palm Diagnosis and Bloodletting Therapy.
In Master Tung’s lineage, Palm Diagnosis is a primary diagnostic method, essential for determining the root cause and selecting the most effective point groups. This intensive program teaches you to interpret these diagnostic signs, validated by the modern precision of the Vascular Autonomic Signal (VAS).
Simultaneously, we will deepen our understanding of Bloodletting Therapy — a fundamental pillar of Chinese Medicine, traditionally ranked alongside needling and moxibustion. Within Master Tung’s system it occupies a uniquely central role, and is often the decisive factor in treating chronic, stubborn, and complex pathologies where needles alone may not suffice.
The Program at a Glance
Bloodletting Therapy
A comprehensive examination of bloodletting techniques — mechanisms, tools, and applications within Master Tung’s system, combining theory with practical skills, including a full safety & infection-control module.
Palm Diagnosis & VAS
Master Tung’s traditional palm diagnosis — Biao Ben, five Zang correspondence, palm markings — combined with the modern VAS methodology for validating findings and identifying active points.
Clinical Integration
Live patient demonstrations in the morning; supervised hands-on practice in small groups (one treatment table per three participants) in the afternoon, with immediate feedback.
Registration & Fees
The price includes the coffee break.

Detailed Curriculum
Day 1: Bloodletting in Master Tung’s Acupuncture System — Friday, October 30
Acupuncture encompasses three fundamental therapeutic tools: needling, moxibustion, and bloodletting. To achieve superior clinical outcomes, practitioners must master and integrate all three. This day explores the theoretical foundations and practical applications of bloodletting in Master Tung’s system.
- Bloodletting in the Ancient Texts: historical context, key references, and the evolution of techniques.
- Effects and Mechanisms: physiological effects, energetic perspectives, and clinical indications and contraindications.
- Instruments and Techniques: traditional vs. modern tools, sterilization and safety protocols, and technical demonstrations.
- Approaches: classic collateral channels, specific point bloodletting, local techniques, and holographic correlations.
- Emotional Disorders: theoretical framework and point selection strategies.
- Applied Learning: case discussions and technical practice.
- Safety & Infection Control: universal precautions for blood-borne pathogens, site preparation and sterilization, biohazard management, and risk management.
Day 2: Master Tung’s Palm Diagnosis & VAS Integration — Saturday, October 31
This day combines two powerful diagnostic approaches: Master Tung’s traditional palm diagnosis and the modern integration of the Vascular Autonomic Signal (VAS).
- Traditional Palm Diagnosis: understanding Biao Ben (root and tip), five Zang organ correspondence, and interpretation of palm markings and features.
- Clinical Applications: the relationship between palm diagnosis and point selection, connection to Dao Ma groups, and practical reading exercises.
- The VAS Method: discovered by Dr. Paul Nogier — a reflex in which the pulse changes immediately in response to skin stimulation, providing real-time feedback on treatment point activity. History, detection, and interpretation.
- VAS in Practice: pre-assessment protocols, sensing VAS via the radial artery, signal intensity, identifying active points, and validating palm diagnosis findings (specifically in Zones 77 and 88).
Day 3: Clinical Integration Day — Sunday, November 1
The final day focuses on practical clinical application, allowing participants to witness and apply the techniques learned throughout the seminar.
- Morning — Clinical Demonstrations: complete treatments demonstrated on actual patients, with real-time diagnostic reasoning, point selection, application of bloodletting, palm diagnosis and VAS, and Q&A after each case.
- Afternoon — Supervised Clinical Practice: participants work in small groups (one treatment table per three participants) to practice diagnostic and treatment techniques on fellow participants, with immediate feedback and one-on-one supervision.
