Abdominal palpationIt is a method of diagnosis and treatment by applying the five elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
It can serve as adiagnostic methodby palpation in different areas of the abdomen, where we will find the area of wood, fire, earth, metal and water. From the sensations of pressure, temperature, color ... we will be able to evaluate the patient's energy status, identify what elements are in imbalance and proceed to "unblock" these areas.
By pressing or inserting needles in acupuncture points we can access to treat those areascausing an immediate release of the area of the affected element. With palpation we can verify that the organism has been balanced.
We will learn to differentiate various types of abdomen, bok-bu in Korean, with a lot of practice and with all our experience in the technique.
