TCM CONSULTATION

WHY CONSULTATION MATTERS

Before treatment begins, it’s essential to understand your body’s unique patterns. TCM doesn’t rely on a one-size-fits-all model. Your consultation lays the foundation for a treatment plan that’s personal and truly aligned with your body’s needs.

Our TCM consultation is designed to uncover the root causes of your symptoms—not just address surface issues. Every session is led by a licensed physician trained in both traditional diagnostic methods and modern clinical understanding.

ONGOING CARE & OPTIMISATION
The initial plan is just the start. We continue with regular follow-up consultations to assess your body’s progress and fine-tune your treatment, ensuring you achieve the best possible outcomes.

THE CONSULTATION PROCESS

Every person’s health story is different. That’s why our consultation isn’t just a check-in, it’s a thoughtful process where we listen, observe, and connect the dots to understand what your body needs to feel its best.

Your pulse and tongue reveal a lot about how your body is doing on the inside—even things you might not feel yet.

PULSE ANALYSIS

During your consultation, we gently feel your pulse on both wrists—not just to count beats, but to understand how your body is functioning on a deeper level. We examine for:

  • Strength: Full or weak
  • Speed: Fast, slow, or normal
  • Rhythm: Regular or irregular with skips
  • Depth: Superficial or deep
  • Overall Quality: Slippery (滑脉), Wiry (弦脉), Thready (细脉), or Choppy (涩脉)

TONGUE ANALYSIS

In TCM, your tongue offers a visual map of your internal health. During your consultation, we take note of the:

  • Colour intensity and tones as they point to different internal Imbalances
  • Shape, whether it’s swollen, thin, cracked, or has teeth marks
  • Coating colour, thickness, and texture

Your lifestyle tells us just as much as your symptoms. Before your consultation, you’ll fill out a medical history questionnaire. During your consultation, we build on this with a deeper conversation about your daily routines, and delve deeper into:

  • Symptoms 
    When did they start? What makes them better or worse? How do they affect your daily life?
  • Sleep 
    Do you have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up feeling rested?
  • Digestion 
    Any signs of bloating, constipation, loose stools, or acid reflux?
  • Emotional Wellbeing 
    How do you cope with stress? Are you feeling anxious, irritable, low, or drained?
  • Daily Habits 
    Your eating patterns, movement routine, and even your hobbies can all hold clues to what’s supporting or disrupting your health.

Sometimes, your body speaks in ways you might not notice, but we’re trained to spot the subtle signs. These quiet signals offer valuable insights into your internal balance and overall vitality.

  • Skin Tone and Complexion
    Is your skin unusually pale, red, sallow, or dull? This can indicate Imbalances in blood circulation or Organ function.
  • Eye Brightness and Clarity
    The eyes can reveal insights into your spirit (Shen) and Liver health. Are they bright and clear, or dull and red?
  • Posture and Demeanour
    How you carry yourself, your energy levels, and even voice can provide additional diagnostic information about your overall vitality and constitutional patterns.
