TONGUE DIAGNOSIS
Tongue diagnosis is a method used to assess overall health and internal organ function by examining the condition of the tongue. The tongue reflects the body’s current state most sensitively, and by analyzing its color, coating, shape, and moisture, practitioners can detect imbalances and identify underlying causes of various ailments.
​
Elements of Tongue Diagnosis
Tongue diagnosis primarily observes the tongue’s color, coating, shape, and moisture level.
• Tongue Color: The color of the tongue indicates the state of the blood, as well as heat or cold in the body. For example, a pale tongue suggests a deficiency in qi and blood, while a red tongue indicates heat. A bluish or purple hue may signal blood circulation issues.
• Tongue Coating: The tongue coating, such as white or yellow fur, reflects the condition of the digestive system. White coating may indicate poor digestion or a cold state in the body, while yellow coating often suggests heat or dampness.
• Tongue Shape: A swollen tongue suggests excessive dampness, while a thin, dry tongue indicates a deficiency in bodily fluids.
• Tongue Moisture: A dry and cracked tongue implies a lack of body fluids, while a moist tongue indicates balanced hydration.
​
Based on the above principles of tongue diagnosis, the tongue cracks, tongue spots, and tongue patterns on the tongue are used to assess the state of blood vessels, the spine, lymphatic system, blood circulation, and immune function. These observations help in identifying specific health conditions and provide insights into the body’s overall balance and potential areas of concern.
Tongue diagnosis serves as an auxiliary diagnostic tool that complements other diagnostic methods to provide a comprehensive understanding of the patient’s condition. Through advanced pattern-based tongue diagnosis, we assess both the physical and mental conditions of our patients. Our goal is to gain deeper insights into their health status, deliver more effective treatments, and support quicker recovery for a healthier and happier life.

Pulse diagnosis is a crucial diagnostic method in traditional medicine that evaluates a patient’s health by examining pulse characteristics. The pulse reflects the flow of Qi (energy), Blood, Yin (substance and fluid), and Yang (energy and warmth), allowing practitioners to assess organ functions and body balance.
​
Basic Concepts of Pulse Diagnosis:
• Qi: Vital energy that maintains bodily vitality.
• Blood: Supports bodily functions through circulation.
• Yin: Governs fluids and nourishment, aiding in recovery and temperature regulation.
• Yang: Represents energy, warmth, and activity.
​
Pulse Types and Characteristics:
• Superficial Pulse: Indicates external pathogens.
• Deep Pulse: Suggests internal organ issues.
• Slippery Pulse: Often reflects dampness or heat.
• Tight Pulse: Associated with stress or tension.
• Weak Pulse: Shows deficiencies in Qi or Blood.
​
Beyond rate and strength, pulse diagnosis examines depth, length, consistency, and regularity to determine energy flow, organ health, and disease progression, guiding effective treatment.

PULSE DIAGNOSIS
Qi therapy, or “Qi Healing,” is a core concept in traditional Oriental medicine that focuses on the energy flow within our body and mind. Qi (æ°£) is considered the life energy that powers our bodies, enabling movement and maintaining health. Traditional medicine believes that when Qi flows smoothly through the body, we are able to sustain good health. However, if this flow becomes blocked or deficient, it can lead to illness or discomfort.
​
Qi therapy aims to regulate and strengthen this energy flow to restore balance within the body and mind. This practice often includes acupuncture, herbal medicine, and Qi Gong exercises. Acupuncture stimulates specific points on the body to open up energy pathways, herbal medicine works internally to supplement and adjust Qi, and Qi Gong uses breathing and movement exercises to help individuals improve their energy flow on their own.
​
In simpler terms, Qi therapy addresses the invisible energy within us to promote healing and maintain health. This therapy supports both physical and mental well-being, reflecting the foundational belief in traditional medicine that the body and mind are deeply interconnected.
​
Meridians and Acupoints
Meridians and acupoints are concepts in traditional medicine related to the body’s energy flow.
​
• Meridians: These are channels through which Qi (energy) and blood circulate within the body. Like invisible streams, they are distributed throughout, connecting organs, limbs, and the body’s surface, helping to maintain overall balance. There are 12 main meridians, along with special ones like the Conception and Governing vessels.
​
• Acupoints: These specific points along the meridians are used in acupuncture or acupressure. Each acupoint is connected to particular organs or body areas, allowing regulation of Qi and blood flow to support health and healing.
​
Meridians and acupoints play a vital role in maintaining and restoring health by regulating the body’s energy.
