Chinese medicine believes that chronic imbalances will have a definite impact on the color and shape of the tongue body and the color and thickness of the tongue coating.A normal tongue is described as light red in color with a thin white coating. The tongue should not be too wet nor too dry. The tongue should be without cracks or movement. It should not be too long or too short nor too stiff or too flaccid.Tongue body color reflects the health of the internal organs... ~~SCROLL DOWN~~ PULSE DIAGNOSISA practitioner of TCM feels for six pulses in each wrist: three superficial and three deep at specific points along the radial artery. The twelve pulses correspond to the internal organs. For example, a deep pulse reading on the left wrist corresponds, top to bottom, to the heart, liver and kidney. Practitioners note the quality of the pulse in terms of frequency, rhythm, and volume and the Chinese have developed an elaborate vocabulary to describe a pulse, such as floating, thready, and slippery. Pulse taking requires years of training, is hard to master, and is considered one of the most important diagnostic tools in Chinese medicine. INTERVIEW"How do you feel?" could be a good question for beginning. Emotions are always important to the Chinese doctor. Mind, body and environment are in connection to each other and they have effect on each other.Emotions are linked to the 5 elements, and to the organs. Strong emotions can have energetic effect on the corresponding organ. Same in the other way, if an organ has probelms it can have effect on your emotions. (look at physiology section)Ask about hair (dry or fat), eyes (red eyes or are the eyes uncomfortable in bright light), about the nose, mouth, throat, digestion, cold hand and cold feet, and many more things. Every symptom has something to "say", and many symptoms share the same root problem, which makes easier for us to find the reason for illness.Every single symptom gives information about what is going on inside your body, and will give us information what we can do to balance the body. Symptoms will not come for no reason.I keep saying that we should cure the root of the problem and not only cure the symptoms, because the root is the problem and not the symptoms.
