TCM Diagnosis
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) focuses on holistic balance and energy flow. Rather than diagnosing diseases, “Chinese doctors” assess your body’s state using methods like Chinese medicine tongue diagnosis to understand internal harmony.
What is TCM Dianosis?
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Diagnosis looks at your body’s state of balance—identifying where you’re too weak (deficiency) or where energy isn’t flowing smoothly (blockage). Our practitioner uses the classic method of “Observation, Listening, Inquiry, and Pulse Analysis” (望闻问切) to understand your health:
Observation
Looking at your tongue and face for signs of imbalance
Sensing
Noticing subtle signs through your voice, breathing, and overall presentation
Inquiry
Asking about your sleep, digestion, stress, lifestyle, and symptoms
Pulse Reading
Feeling your pulse to assess patterns related to your overall health and balance
