Traditional Chinese Medicine for Woolloomooloo
Josephine treats a wide variety of issues, including acute muscle pains and also more complex health conditions that may have accompanied a patient for many years.
Your first visit will usually include a consultation similar to that of visiting your GP in a private consultation room, where you can discuss your health concerns and the reason for your visit.
You will also be asked a series of questions in relation to your health to gain a clear picture of your past and present health condition. Diagnostic techniques used by a TCM practitioner will usually include checking your pulse and observation of your tongue.
Jin Ye, collectively translated as "body fluids," represents all the normal, healthy liquids in the body apart from Blood. TCM divides these into two categories: Jin (thin, clear fluids) and Ye (thick, dense fluids). Jin includes sweat, tears, saliva, and the fluid that moistens the skin and muscles. Ye refers to the heavier fluids that lubricate joints, nourish the brain and spinal cord, and moisten the internal organs.
The production and distribution of body fluids involves several organ systems working in concert. The Stomach receives and "ripens" ingested fluids. The Spleen transforms and transports them upward. The Lungs disperse fluids outward to the skin and downward to the Kidneys. The Kidneys govern water metabolism, separating the clean from the turbid, sending clean fluids back into circulation and directing waste to the Bladder.
Disruptions in fluid metabolism can lead to dryness (insufficient fluids) or pathological accumulations such as oedema, phlegm, or dampness. Acupuncture points on the Spleen, Lung, and Kidney meridians are commonly used to regulate fluid balance and resolve these conditions.
Body fluids (Jin Ye) encompass all normal liquids in the body aside from Blood. Jin refers to thin, clear fluids like sweat and tears, while Ye refers to thicker fluids that lubricate joints and nourish the brain. Their production involves the Stomach, Spleen, Lungs, and Kidneys working together.
Insufficient body fluids cause dryness symptoms such as dry throat, skin, and eyes. Excess or improperly metabolised fluids can accumulate as dampness, phlegm, or oedema. TCM treatment aims to restore proper fluid production, distribution, and excretion.
