Description:
Hand, face and ear diagnosis are all part of the ancient mysteries of medical practices in TCM. Today ear diagnosis has spread all over the world; however, hand and face diagnosis are still hidden and almost lost.
Hand diagnosis and treatment is a method that analyzes the functional and organic changes of organs or tissues through the difference in shape, lines, regions, color and veins on hands. The practitioner then applies treatment accordingly. It is developed from TCM meridian, Ba Gua and hologram theories. It assists the practitioner to visually and dynamically observe health conditions, predict the tendencies of disease and, more importantly, effectively prevent and treat illness.
Hand diagnosis has the following advantages:
is accurate and easy to observe
shows early signs of disease
shows genetic or inherent disease
shows functional mental disorder as well as organic changes
is highly effective for pediatric diagnosis
assists TCM diagnosis and quick treatment results
