Pulse diagnosis and tongue examination are essential techniques in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for assessing a patient’s body condition and health status. Pulse diagnosis involves feeling the pulse on both wrists, where the practitioner assesses the pulse pattern to examine energy (Qi) flow and the balance of internal organs. Tongue examination involves observing the color, shape, coating, and texture of the tongue, which reflects the state of energy and balance within the body.
How Pulse Diagnosis and Tongue Examination Work
Through pulse diagnosis, practitioners gain insight into the body’s energy status by evaluating pulse characteristics such as speed, depth, and strength to identify conditions such as heat, cold, or energy weakness. Tongue examination provides signals about internal organ functions, such as digestion, circulation, and overall body balance, by analyzing the tongue’s appearance.
Who Can Benefit from Pulse Diagnosis and Tongue Examination?
These diagnostic techniques are beneficial for individuals seeking a holistic health assessment and those interested in balancing their body through TCM. They enable practitioners to create a personalized treatment plan based on each individual’s energy and body system conditions.
