Traditional Chinese medicine has a different diagnostic approach than the modern western medicine.

In western medicine the diagnosis is established after clinical exam, blood Tests, X Ray, Ultrasound.

The Diagnosis according to Traditional Chinese medicine is different, because it is based on a different philosophy:

The TCM doctor inquire about the actual general condition. Body temperature, fatigue, insomnia, sweating, mood, emotions, temper are of major importance when it comes to TCM. The diagnosis is established after assessing the tongue and the pulse of the patient.

The aspect of the tongue, the color and the coating get evaluated. The pulse on the wrist will be assessed for the deepness of the pulse, the quality and if it is slow or rapid.

The treatment plan usually includes the Chinese herbal treatment, acupuncture and sometimes cupping. Herbs are usually prescribed for 2 weeks. Reassessment is usually after 2 weeks. Sometimes the treatment formula has to be changed sometimes the patient has to continue the same treatment for a while. This depends on the individual condition.
