General Health Check
As part of the general health check, our nurse will take the patient’s vital signs (height, weight, blood pressure) and create a medical history file. In addition, they will collect basic information about the patient’s lifestyle, as well as her/his overall physical, emotional and spiritual condition.
Four Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Diagnostic Methods
The Four Diagnostic Methods are main elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and cover the four examination points 1. Inspection 2. Listening and Smelling 3. Inquiring and 4. Palpation.
Inspection
The medical practitioner uses vision to purposely observe for any abnormalities in patients’ vitality, complexion, tongue and bodily secretions to understand the state of health or disease, which is called diagnosis.
Listening and Smelling
To detect any abnormalities in the sounds produced by patients, respiration etc. Attending to odors emitted through patients’ breath, secretions and excretions can help in diagnosing patients’ condition.
Inquiring
The doctor will ask patients questions inquiring about observable symptoms or signs and relevant medical history to aid diagnosis of illnesses and progressions.
Palpation
The palpation is a method by touching and pressing on the patient’s arterial pulse and certain part of the patient’s body to understand the internal changes or any adverse reactions of the disease.

Testimonials
“TCM was an extraordinary discovery for me here in Dubai. For the quality of the service but most of all for the natural approach to our body as a whole, both physical and mental. I’m starting my journey with them to a consistent treatment on a weekly basis to be able to train better and de-stress from my recent overload. Highly recommended!”
