TCM WELLNESS · 中医体质
A constitution assessment rooted in a 2,000-year-old framework — now backed by China's first national standard.
Two people can have the same symptom and need opposite approaches. Western medicine often asks what is the disease? — TCM asks a different first question: what kind of body is experiencing it?
Your constitution is the underlying pattern of your energy, fluids, and circulation. It explains why you run cold while your friend runs hot, why some people thrive on raw food and others feel drained by it, and why the same eight hours of sleep leaves one person refreshed and another exhausted.
Once you know your pattern, "eat well and sleep more" turns into something specific you can actually do.

Your body and mind are in harmonious balance — steady energy, sound sleep, and good adaptability.
Your body's vital energy runs low.
Your body's warming Yang energy is low.

Dampness and heat combine: you may feel oily, prone to breakouts, have a bitter taste or bad breath, and feel irritable or rest…
Blood circulation is sluggish.
Your Qi does not flow smoothly, often linked to emotional tension.
You have an inherent sensitivity or allergic tendency — to pollen, food, or environment — and react quickly to what others tole…
Questions about how your body has usually felt over the past year. No right answers.
