Discussing symptom aggravation on the table with Toby a few weeks ago, he clarified that if the patient’s face is
clearly improved, he will let them ride aggravated symptoms to see what happens. Likely the net result will be
positive.
Another reason to get really good at tracking changes on the face.

Now there’s a basket to throw all your eggs into… it’s not easy, but I guess we have to all learn that skill set.
Because of that statement, and others seemingly similar, such as Toby‘s teacher half heartedly looking at a tongue
or checking pulse, I did not put pulse and tongue in my last case study post. However, as best I could, I tried to rely
on face :crossed_fingers:t4:

Indeed, learning to read the face is really important. Some people are easier than others. And I agree with Toby. If
certain things… Face, Tongue, Pulse (basically whatever marker you know and can reliably use and trust) are
looking good, then if the patient is having a rough ride, it’s probably ok.
After all, while sometimes people drop deep. This is a powerful method that is NOT harmonizing.
Buckle up!
