TCM Theory of Diagnosis

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnosis involves understanding the body's balance and harmony. Practitioners assess health by observing physical signs, asking questions, feeling the pulse, and examining the tongue. They look for patterns indicating energetic imbalances among organ systems, yin and yang, and the flow of Qi (vital energy). Instead of focusing solely on specific diseases, TCM aims to identify underlying disharmony that causes symptoms. This holistic approach helps tailor treatments like acupuncture, herbs, and lifestyle advice to restore balance and promote overall well-being.
