At the initial consultation, practitioners will take a case history by interviewing the patient about their current health concerns, past health conditions and a range of related matters, including diet, lifestyle habits, sleeping patterns, appetite, menstrual cycle, stress reactions and food or other sensitivities. The practitioner will also observe and note other health indicators, such as the color of face, the condition of the tongue, the sound of the voice and the characteristics of the radial pulse of the wrist to identify patterns of disharmony in the body. Holistic and individualized treatment commences once assessment and diagnosis is complete.
