Do you understand your health?
Dr. Wen Rong Chen, R.TCMP
TCM focus on prevention and treatment altogether. People usually ignore the warning of the body until a real symptom break out. Like the Chinese saying ” see the smoke and fire follows”. Again another question like: “work for life, or life for work?” Think your health care today.
For those who aware and approach for help, I am always ready.
Please refer the Self-Care Checklist I designed to learn your condition.
Self-Care Checklist
This checklist will help you to determine your health condition. Please read each question carefully, and then write T (true) or F (false) on the line next to the question.
1._________________ You have a busy working schedule and feel stressful sometime.
2. _________________ There is some headache or migraine attack.
3. _________________ You feel some pain or ache come and go.
4. _________________ When you forget to stretch you could feel stiffness in your joints.
5. _________________ There is some problem to get into sleep or wake up at mid night.
6. _________________ Feel low energy and reluctant to exercise.
7. _________________ No appetite for food or suffer too much food craving.
8. _________________ Sweat a lot, some times have night sweat.
9. _________________ Have blood pressure problems over 3 months.
10. _________________ Feel cold all the time, especially for hands and feet.
11._________________ Your bowel movement is not regular.
12._________________ Vision or hearing is not as good, sometimes suffer dizziness or palpitation.
13. _________________ I think I am overweight.
14. _________________ Short term memory seems getting worse.
15. _________________ I do drink quite a lot water everyday, but still feel thirsty.
16. _________________ Had surgery before, or some family history of certain disease.
17. _________________ If female, have irregular menstrual cycle.
18. _________________ Never try any detoxing program.
Now look at your answers, if you have over 5 T(true) you’d better consider a treatment for your problem; if you have over 3 T(true) a clinic consultation will help you.
Pass the self-care check with only 1 or 2 T(true), you might take good care of yourself, keep going and try the checklist 90 days later.
This checklist is designed according to the Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis principles.
Thank you for your attention. Wish you a good health.
