What is a "Syndrome"?

The various symptoms that a person has are ususally linked together via a common Energetic profile, known as a "Syndrome", which may be ascribed to a particular organ.

In order to discover which syndrome is at work and hence which organ is imbalanced, a "Syndromes Analysis" might be useful. This system was developed within Traditional Chinese Herbalism and it lists, by specific association, a great number of symptoms in their appropriate groupings.

The same symptom may point to different possible causes, so a weighting system is used to indicate the fact that a symptom usually points more strongly to specific possibilities and more weakly to others.

If you know, or suspect that you know which organ is most affected in your health-situation, then use the Navigation Bar on this page to investigate the individual organ syndromes.

For chronic illness, or a more thorough assessment of your symptoms, leading to the discovery of your Root Syndrome or combination of syndroms, we offer to send you a complete Syndromes Analysis to study and complete.

In this way your individual health can be more thoroughly assessed and the advice on foods, herbs and lifestyle changes to be made, will be appropriate for you.

We use a modified version of the Traditional Chinese Syndromes Analysis, by incorporating a weight, also, for the severity of the symptom and the length of time, or frequency of appearance, in one’s life.

Upon request we will send you this 20 page Syndromes Analysis, which may be assessed by yourself, or by our resident health practitioner.
