Facial diagnosis is a powerful technique for understanding a person's health. In this five-part series, CT Holman, a long-term student of Lillian Pearl Bridges and Master Face Reader, will discuss how to utilize facial diagnosis in the TCM treatment of children.

A child's qi forms during their early years until they become a young adult. This process allows them to explore different elemental energies and discover the boundaries of their destiny path. Facial diagnosis can be used to identify various energetic states and provide guidance on supporting the child, helping them thrive in their exploration.

Over the course, CT will explain the various features, lines, and colors visible on the face and how to interpret them in relation to an individual's health, personality, and talents. Each lesson, he will go into detail about one of the five elements, explaining the features, lines, and colors associated with that element. Pathology and behavioral issues that are common to each element will be examined. He will also discuss reading the Shen/spirit and how to differentiate the five spirits to best understand a child's qi. This information informs the practitioner’s diagnosis, treatment, and lifestyle recommendations. Many pictures of children's faces will be shown to illustrate the variety of facial traits.
