DIAGNOSIS &
TREATMENT

DIAGNOSIS
|
|
Interview
To put theory into practice we have specific diagnostic tools. As
taught to me by my teacher Dr. Trogawa Rinpoche, we should first
speak to the patient and find out their medical history as well as
pertinent aspects of their personal history.

|
Urine
We then look at a urine sample. In the urinalysis we observe such
things as the color of the specimen and its odor and then after
vigorous stirring the size, color, amount, and persistence of
bubbles, and any deposits. From this we can begin to confirm the
nature of the illness, the presence of infection and the
localization of the illness among other things

|
Pulse
Next we feel the twelve pulses. There are six distinct pulses at
the radial artery of each wrist. We feel for such things as the
width, depth, strength, speed and quality of the pulse. Each of
those factors when understood properly allow us to clearly define
the illness, its location, hidden complications and its etiology.

Additional Diagnostic Techniques
To further confirm the diagnosis we can look at the color, shape and
coatings of the tongue, the sclera of the eye and we may look for
sensitivity at certain pressure points on the body.
