TMD / Traditional Medicine Diagnostics
TMD adopts a variety of methods to obtain clinical information such as questioning, inspection, auscultation (discovering the condition of the lungs and heart by listening and olfaction), palpation (examining by touch), tongue and eye examination, pulse taking and general holistic observation to arrive at a diagnosis. Although each aspect has its unique function and meaning, the methods are all connected with each other and the clinician does not emphasize one at the expense of the others. TMD diagnostics is a highly skilled area of expertise and experience referencing a patient's whole constitution.
