The questionnaire is completed and returned to the clinic prior to your consultation to give the necessary information on your previous medical history, stress levels together with the current state of your physical and emotional health. Your initial appointment will include a review of your questionnaire and the key health concerns that you wish to be addressed, oriental diagnosis (including pulse and tongue), iris examination, if appropriate, the use of non-invasive diagnostic tests such as saliva or urine analysis and laboratory tests (that measure specific areas such as digestion, production and regulation of hormones etc.), so that any underlying imbalances in your body can be identified.
