In traditional acupuncture examining your tongue and feeling your pulse gives insights into the health of your body- whether physical, mental-emotional. It gives the acupuncturist beautifully detailed information about where any imbalances lie in your body. It reveals how much vitality of energy you have and where it may be blocked.
This diagnostic information is used to formulate a bespoke treatment uniquely for you.
The tongue and pulse can detect imbalances before they are necessarily experienced as signs and symptoms. Equally it can give key insights into existing illness and how to treat it.
Traditional acupuncture is a nature based medicine and works with the body's innate ability to heal itself. It is a branch of traditional Chinese medicine , which has always been primarily, a preventative medicine, concerned with cultivating wellness and longevity.
Tongue and pulse diagnosis developed over hundreds of years as an art and a science for identifying subtle changes in the body.
In ancient China, the most skilled doctors were given the healthy patients to treat and the less skilled doctors were given the sick patients. In other words the more skilled doctors could perceive what the 'average' doctor could not see. They were able therefore to treat a disharmony in the body before it became an illness.
Tongue and pulse readings are as important for acupuncture practitioners today as it was for practitioners all that time ago.
I am running a free health check offering tongue and diagnosis.
