20.01.2022 What does your pulse say about your health? In Chinese Medicine pulse diagnosis is a very important diagnostic tool that provides your practitioner with information about the state of your health but in different ways. Chinese Medicine pulse diagnosis is a detailed and subtle process; we are looking for much more than your pulse rate. Why is pulse diagnosis such a large part of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)? Because thousands of years ago when Chinese medicine theories... began to develop, there were no x-rays or MRIs available to produce pictures of the insides of our bodies. Therefore, in their wisdom, the ancient Chinese doctors created external methods designed to understand the body’s interior, including: observation; careful questioning; tongue diagnosis; and pulse diagnosis. Today we’re focusing on the pulse. Take your own pulse Chinese pulse diagnosis is complex but let’s begin with some of the basics. When I take your pulse, I place three fingers over the radial artery in your wrist. Each of my fingers rests on a different section of the pulse: front; middle; and rear. Each section correlates with different organs. I feel for the pulse rate, but my fingers also search for pulse length, depth and quality because these pulse attributes are equally important. When I put all this information together, I learn more about your wellness. There are many TCM practices that I advise people to practice at home but detailed pulse taking is not one of them. If you would like to test something simpler in order to understand your pulses better, take your own pulse and compare it to a friend’s to see what differences you are able to feel. Or, the next time you are coming down with a cold, rest three fingers ever so lightly on your wrist to see if you feel a more superficial pulse than usual. Don’t be disappointed if you only feel a gentle beat; pulse taking is an art that has been studied for many years and even those of us who have been trained in pulse taking, are constantly refining our skills!

12.01.2022 With the current situation continuously unfolding, we wanted to take the time to provide you with a clinic update. We received confirmation this morning that our clinic doors will remain open. After yesterdays announcement regarding the closure of non-essential businesses, there has been much confusion. Here are the facts as they relate to us: The Facts:... Acupuncture and Chinese medicine is a registered profession and is regarded as an allied health profession by the Federal Government. Allied health is regarded as a primary health care service and thus serving an essential need. The World Health Organisation regards traditional medicine practice as primary care and the Australian government regards us as allied health and therefore primary care. As a result, Acupuncture and Chinese medicine clinics will continue to stay open to the public. Our clinic is still open and we are still consulting patients as normal. We want to assure you that your health and safety is the most important thing for us. We will continue to stay up-to-date with the most recent announcements and hygiene advice of the Australian government and health departments, forwarding on relevant information to you. Hopefully, this clears up some of your questions. If you do have anything else on your mind, we encourage you to please contact us on (02) 9659 6099. We will continue to strive to support you in these difficult times. Thank you for your patience. Regards, Brittney Cook (Clinic Director and Principle Practitioner)
