Do you know the difference between Chinese & Japanese style of health examination? TCM health assessment consist of observation, pulse and tongue diagnosis; it is more subjective (each practitioner has an individual opinion). Japanese medical health examination is based on palpation of the reflex zones. Each reflex zone on a human body is connected to a particular organ or system and on palpation reveals the true health condition. Japanese health assessment is often more precise than medical tests and objective as evidenced by both - the practitioner and the patient.

Pain - your enemy or friend? People often seek acupuncture to get rid of lingering pain. Common believe that pain is the enemy is not true. Pain is a signal that brain sends to human mind to inform about a problem that is taking place in the body. The pain must be addressed properly, therefore you rather choose thorough body examination instead of taking painkillers.
