Oriental Diagnosis - Find out the state of your health BEFORE illness sets in

Oriental Diagnosis - Find out the state of your health BEFORE illness sets in
Oriental Diagnosis is not a therapy in itself but a way of
recognising a weakened organ. Hopefully, before it causes
problems. If you know an organ is getting weak, then you
can do something about it BEFORE you get sick. This is a
true form of Holistic medicine. Preventive, not reactive.

Oriental Diagnosis is a very old, non invasive form of
diagnosis. It has been used for thousands of years in
countries such as Japan and China.

The shape and marking on your nose for example will tell
the practitioner what is happening in your heart, pancreas
and stomach.

Your lips will inform him as to how much stagnation you
have in your intestines.

The pimples/ markings on your chin or side of chin will
indicate the health/ disease of your reproductive system.

But Oriental Diagnosis can be exercised on other parts of
the body as well. For example the health of the heart,
liver, kidneys, lungs, spleen etc.. is visible on the
tongue.

The sclera in the eyes will also tell us what is happening
in the liver, gallbladder, pancreas and spleen. Cysts or
tumours in the reproductive system are sometimes noticeable
on the sclera. Please note that this technique is different
from iridology.

Meridians can also be used for diagnosis. Dis/colouration
on certain parts of the body where the meridians run can
give us a warning that something is going to happen in a
specific organ. Testing specific meridian points can also
inform us as to the congestion in certain organs.

The feet also have a story to tell as is powerfully
demonstrated with Reflexology. All organs are mirrored in
the feet (and the hands). Pressing on a specific part of
the foot will either confirm or question what we previously
found whilst diagnosing a person.

When combined together, all these diagnosing methods give
us a very good idea of what is happening in a person's body.

Why would somebody want to diagnose?

If you are told an organ is getting weak in advance, you
can take remedial steps to strengthen this organ before it
causes problems. Preventive medicine is always better than
reactive medicine and much more gentle on the body.

A story:

In a training course, a student had no energy. An
experienced Oriental Diagnosis practitioner could see from
her facial features that her kidneys were tired and that
her intestines were congested.

Oriental Diagnosis signs showed an excess of dairy and
animal products. One day she looked particularly tired, the
advice she was given by the practitioner was: "I think you
better give up dairy product and animal food for a while,
you look very tired". At first, she was shocked that
somebody could tell she loved dairy products and animal
food just by looking at her face but as she was indeed
feeling constantly tired, she followed the advice and
eventually became grateful.

Within a few weeks, she looked much better and amazed other
students on the course with the amount of energy she had
regained. By recognising the problem before it turned to
disease, she was able to change what she was doing wrong
and regain health. This is what holistic medicine should be
about!

Oriental Diagnosis will allow you to detect a forthcoming
health problem before it manifests. Doing so may save the
person a long illness. It may even save a life.

What can you do if you are told that one of your organ is
weak?

The 3 main causes of disease are:

1- A bad diet high in animal food, dairy products, sugar,
fast food, microwaved food, pre-prepared food, too many
meals out etc... This also includes consumption of sugared,
carbonated drinks, alcohol

2- Negative emotions, including stress (anything that
worries you or prevents you from getting a good night sleep)

3- Environmental toxins in your home from products used on
a daily basis such as your toothpaste with fluoride, your
shampoo with SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulphate), your washing
powder, dishwasher tablets etc.. and the pollution in your
place of work with EMF from computers, routers, neon lights
etc.. Plus of course pollution from factories, pesticides,
exhaust fumes etc..

Basically, there is no quick fix to health and you must
address all three causes with precision. Remember the words
of Japanese philosopher and Macrobiotic Guru George Ohsawa:
"There is no incurable disease, only incurable people". An
organ usually takes a long time to get weak and the only
way to get it healthy again is by changing our life-style.
But with proper advice and guidance, one may be able to
recover health.

Having said all this, remember that in our free society
health practitioners are not supposed to diagnose. Only
doctors!
