All about TCM

Diagnostic procedure

TCM has a differentiated diagnostic procedure, to assess the condition of Qi, Yin, Yang and the internal organs. Diagnosis from “internal medicine” in the form of syndromes (e.g. live-qi stagnation) or interconnect pathologies (qi stagnation in the bladder meridian) are made. 

If you aren’t sure whether TCM therapy can help with your condition, don’t hesitate to ask me about treatment options!

Classically, TCM combines four diagnostic methods to establish the diagnosis.

Sight
The tongue is judged on form, color and quality. The tongue coating also provides important information. In addition, facial color, movement and body language are taken into account.

Hearing and smelling
The voice, the breath, cough, throat clearing, etc. are observed. The smell plays a subordinate role in our society.

Questions
Each treatment is preceded by a detailed anamnesis (inquiry).

Feel
The pulse at the wrist is judged by the frequency and many other qualities. Depending on the problem, the abdomen, meridians or painful areas on the body are examined.
