Diagnosis.
Whether a harmony or disharmony condition exists in the body can be found out by four diagnostic techniques.
These include a detailed examination by questioning, visual observation (including tongue diagnosis), palpation (including pulse diagnosis), as well as the odor of the patient. An effective diagnosis can identify the cause of the problem and lead to an effective treatment, e.g. subsequently applied in acupuncture. The time of diagnosis depends on your individual situation. At least 20 minutes are required, but a full hour may also be appropriate.
