LISTENING DIAGNOSIS
This method is
also mentioned in The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine. The
practitioner listens to the respiration and voice. Both are a reflection of
the Lung functions and the state of the Qi. A strong voice indicates a
healthy amount of Qi and a weak voice indicates Qi Deficiency. Smooth as
opposed to halting speech or inability to speak at all reflects the Heart or
Liver condition. The Five Element qualities
shouting-laughing-singing-crying-groaning, give strong signs about the
balance of the elements.
