The Science behind

Acupressure diagnosis is based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which views the body as an interconnected system of energy pathways called meridians. The science behind diagnosing ailments in acupressure involves assessing the body's energy flow, or Qi (Chi), and identifying blockages or imbalances that may lead to health issues. Here’s how it works:

1. Pulse Diagnosis (Mai Zhen)
- Practitioners check the radial pulse (at the wrist) to assess energy flow in different organs.
- They analyze pulse depth, rhythm, strength, and quality.
- Different pulse characteristics correspond to specific organ imbalances (e.g., a weak pulse may indicate Qi deficiency, while a wiry pulse may suggest stress or liver imbalance).

2. Palpation of Acupoints and Meridians
- The practitioner presses specific acupressure points to identify tenderness or pain.
- Tender or sore points often indicate an underlying imbalance in the corresponding organ.
- For example, sensitivity at the LI4 (Hegu) point on the hand may signal digestive or immune system issues.

3. Tongue Diagnosis
- The tongue’s color, coating, shape, and texture provide clues about internal health.
- A pale tongue may indicate Qi or blood deficiency, while a red tongue suggests heat or inflammation in the body.

4. Observation of Facial and Eye Signs
- The color of the skin, especially around the eyes and cheeks, provides diagnostic clues.
- Dark circles under the eyes may indicate kidney weakness, while redness may suggest liver or heart imbalances.
