Find out how Chinese medicine practitioners describe the disharmonies of the body
and perform a diagnosis. In this package:
Asking the Questions
No one knows your body as well as you do, so help your practitioner
learn about your by answering these questions.
Listening and Smelling
Evaluating your voice and smell can help your
doctor zero in on the origins of disharmony.
Pulse and Touch
Did you know there are 28 different pulses? And your reaction to pressure along acupuncture meridians can provide important information.
Tongue, Body Language and Face
Your tongue, body language, and facial color offer strong clues to the location of
disharmony.
Herbal Therapy is integral to Chinese medicine. The herbs selected reflect the type of imbalance which has been diagnosed. Herbal medicine may be used alone or in conjunction with other therapies.
Dietary therapy focuses on improving digestion, increasing energy, and balancing body energy. Food therapy often increases
the effect of other treatments.
Exercise includes martial arts as well as more subtle movement such as T’ai Chi, Qi Gong, and Yoga.
Gym work-outs or aerobic exercise are also suggested. Meditation may include traditional Asian forms as well as relaxation exercises, hypnotherapy, and bio-feedback.
