The history of traditional Chinese medicine goes back
around 5,000 years. It is based on investigation and the analysis of
clinical patterns of health and diagnostics.
Imbalances are surmised by how the person feels, the tone of the pulse,
the look of the tongue and the color of the skin.
Good health in Chinese medicine means your tongue is a pinkish color with
a thin white coating and normal texture, the pulse beats five times per
breath and at a consistent, even rate, rhythm and strength.
If a person experiences no pain or discomfort, has a robust physical
build, is spirited, has a good appetite, sleeps well and does a reasonable
amount of exercise, they are considered to be in good health. Symptoms
that are at odds with these factors are considered disease or ‘clinical
patterns,’ which are reactions to disease.
Just as in Chinese medicine history a traditional Chinese medicine
professional will deal with these symptoms or clinical patterns with tools
such as herbs, food therapy, acupuncture, cupping, Tuina (therapeutic
massage) and Amoxibustion.
