I am deeply interested in the mind-body connection, as well as how the body's natural energy affects overall health. I first explored this connection as an undergraduate at U.C. Santa Cruz, majoring in Neuroscience. I then earned my Masters of Science degree in Chinese Medicine from the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine (ACTCM), here in San Francisco.
Understanding the disease in your body: The Chinese medical diagnosis can be made only after understanding your health concern and what it means to you. How does it impact your life and what would you like to change? Tongue diagnosis: For a practitioner of Chinese Medicine, the tongue is a window to the interior of your body.
For a practitioner of Chinese Medicine, the tongue is a window to the interior of your body. The tongue can take on many different appearances and textures, depending on how the tissue of the tongue is being nourished. This representative organ gives great insight to the body as a whole. The tongue shows the depth and nature of particular imbalances such as pathogenic heat or cold, stagnation or deficient conditions.
By gently resting 3 fingers on each wrist, the health and vitality of your internal organs can be assessed based on the strength and quality of their pulse-beat. Of the diagnostic tools in Chinese medicine, pulse diagnosis is one of the more important tools used. The pulse can give a practitioner information on the quality of qi and blood flow, the state of organs, and if a condition is acute or chronic.
Balance is achieved using fine (about the thickness of a hair strand), sterile, disposable acupuncture needles gently inserted into the body to help redirect or increase the flow of the life energy Qi (pronounced "chee") in the body. Many conditions are treated using acupuncture, including: insomnia, infertility, allergies, anxiety, depression, fatigue, paralysis, skin problems, migraines, pain and others.
