The Six Health Gold Standards — A Self-Check Guide

Classical Chinese medicine assesses physiological function through six core markers — sleep, appetite, bowel movement, urination, temperature regulation, thirst. These gold-standard markers provide a practical daily self-check framework. At Nature’s Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture Clinic in Belmont (Perth) and Geraldton, Dr. Yang (Traditional Chinese Medicine) uses this framework for patient assessment and teaches it for self-monitoring.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Should I track these daily?

    Weekly is usually sufficient for most people; daily during active treatment or acute illness.

    What patterns indicate which conditions?

    Pattern combinations point to specific classical patterns — comprehensive assessment combines all six.

    Is this based on evidence?

    Each marker individually has substantial medical relevance. The integrated classical framework is traditional clinical approach.

    When should I seek professional assessment?

    Significant departures persisting beyond 2-3 weeks warrant professional consultation. —
