Chinese diagnostics
In Chinese medicine, external and internal of human body is one coherent whole. Internal disorder reveals also on/in the body surface. Depending on our trained observation skills, we can pull together an array of inferences in the patient’s physical appearance, pulse, and other indicators to pinpoint the relevant syndrome and the roots of the disease. This method has more than 3000 years of history, and we have rich experience in it.
