Constitutional Type Identification β€” What’s Your Pattern?

Constitutional Type Identification β€” What’s Your Pattern?

Classical Chinese medicine recognises that different people have different constitutional types β€” each with characteristic strengths, vulnerabilities, and pattern tendencies. Understanding your constitutional type informs health maintenance and treatment priorities. At Nature’s Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture Clinic in Belmont (Perth) and Geraldton, Dr. Yang (Traditional Chinese Medicine) uses constitutional assessment in comprehensive clinical approach.
