What is Traditional Chinese Medical Daignosis?

Chinese Medical differential diagnosis is an essential and integral part of the TCM. It is very different from Western Medicine, and it is based on an overall analysis of signs and symptoms of each  patient.  This system of the diagnosis includes smelling, listening, asking, feeling the pulse of the patient.  Five Elements are used to repesent  the body organs. The elements are Earth, Fire, Metal, Wood and Water.

Following  the consulation there is Acupuncture Treatment.

Acupuncture is the insertion of  very fine needles into the body at specific points.  Acupuncture can stimulate the neuro-chemical reactions in the body by increasing and balancing the flow of the Qi and Xue (Energy and Blood) through specific channels and the result is the dissloution of the stagnation and the stopping (relieving) of pain.
