IMPORTANT: This video, as with all videos on the The Chinese Medicine Podcast are NOT a replacement for a health professional diagnosis. While Marie may answer your questions, all answers are not of a professional consultation level - it is impossible to check your pulse through the internet, hence Chinese medicine cannot be practiced properly through the internet. If you have any undiagnosed symptoms, or changes in your health condition The Chinese Medicine Podcast urges you to see your own doctor, GP, Chinese medicine practitioner, acupuncturist or other health professional as appropriate. If it is an emergency call 000 in Australia. If you are unsure if this advice is appropraite for your indivudial situation ask your own practitioner before applying any diet or lifestyle techniques /concepts discussed in this video.

Marie Hopkinson and The Chinese Medicine Podcast wishes you the best of health and improvement in your own health journey.

What are the clear signs or qualities of the pain that would indicate the patient needs moxa (what would “cold” pain feel like according to the patient?)) Thank you!
