- W1567252175 abstract "Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a range of medical practices used in China for more than four millenniums, a treasure of Chinese people (Lukman, He, & Hui, 2007). The important role of TCM and its profound influence on the health care system in China is well recognized. The West also has drawn the attention towards various aspects of TCM in the past few years (Chan, 1995). TCM consists of a systematized methodology of medical treatment and diagnosis (Watsuji, Arita, Shinohara, & Kitade, 1999). According to the basic concept of TCM, the different body-parts, zang-viscera and fu-viscera, the meridians of the body are linked as an inseparable whole. The inner abnormality can present on outer parts, while the outer disease can turn into the inner parts (Bakshi & Pal, 2010). Therefore, some diseases can be diagnosed from the appearance of the outer body. As the significant component part of TCM theory, TCM diagnostics includes two parts: TCM Sizhen (the four diagnosis methods) and differentiation of syndromes. The TCM physician experience the gravity of health condition of a sick person by means of the four diagnosis methods depending on the doctor's body sensors such as fingers, eyes, noses etc. Generally, TCM Sizhen consists of the following four diagnostic processes: inspection, auscultation and olfaction, inquiry, and pulse feeling and palpation (Nenggan & Zhaohui, 2004). In the inspection diagnostic process, TCM practitioners observe abnormal changes in the patient's vitality, colour, appearance, secretions and excretions. The vital signs encompass eyes, tongue, facial expressions, general and body surface appearance. The inter-relationship between the external part of the body such as face and tongue and the internal organ(s) is used to assist TCM doctors to predict the pathological changes of internal organs. In the auscultation and olfaction process, the doctor listen the patient's voice, breathing, and coughing used to judge the pathological changes in the interior of the patient's body. Inquiry diagnosis method is refer to query patient's family history, feelings in various aspects, such as chills and fever, perspiration, appetite and thirst, as well as pain in terms of its nature and locality. Palpation approach involves pulse diagnosis (Siu Cheung, Yulan, & Doan Thi Cam, 2007). The palpation diagnosis has been accepted as one of the most powerful method to give information for making diagnosis from ancient time till now. The pulse waves are measured at six points near the wrists of both hands. The waves are different each other and give us information about different organs (Hsing-Lin, Suzuki, Adachi, & Umeno, 1993). Tongue diagnosis is another inspection diagnostic method which" @default.
