Yin and Yang & Methods of diagnosis

Yin and Yang 




The Chinese Yin and Yang symbol expresses the delicate balance of dark (Yin) and light (Yang), which embraces all opposites: female and male, cold and heat, passive and active, repose and motion. The black and white dots show the flow of one aspect into another.



Methods of diagnosis



Traditional Chinese doctors diagnose patients mainly by checking his/her appearance, tongue and pulse. Some small problems which western doctors usually neglect may suggest a lot for a Chinese doctor. For example, continual black circle under eyes may suggest bad function of spleen. Too much sweat can detect some serious problems at an early stage.

It can be caused by a number of factors including colds and flu viruses, infection, polyps, allergies and irritants. If your sinuses can’t drain properly it causes inflammation and swelling around the nasal area. This can directly affect your breathing, cause pain, irritation, headaches and affect your day to day living. The combination of acupuncture and Chinese herbs is a highly effective way to treat both the symptoms and the root cause of your sinusitis.
