CrunchyChocolate555 Posted February 10, 2013 Hey everyone, For those that have some experience with TCM/acupuncture I have a question. If someone had some form of kidney disease, for instance chronic kidney failure, would the standard diagnosis methods of pulse/tongue be able to detect it in any way? Likewise, would someone with kidney disease necessarily exhibit symptoms of kidney yin or yang deficiency? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChiDragon Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) Do you nowadays, the TCM doctors ask their patients to visit a western doctor to give a diagnostic report. Then, the TCM doctor will come up with a prescription for the patients. Edited February 10, 2013 by ChiDragon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrunchyChocolate555 Posted February 10, 2013 For sure, and I think that's a responsible practice. However, my question is if it's even possible to detect something like kidney disease/renal failure through TCM diagnostic methods..
