Tongue & Pulse diagnosis: What it tells us about our fertility

If you’ve visited us at the clinic, or seen a Chinese medicine practitioner elsewhere, you would have been asked to show your tongue and had your pulse taken. We appreciate that it can feel a little unusual at first and you might be wondering why we do it!

Observing the tongue and pulse are important diagnostic methods that help practitioners to better understand the condition of your body and take note of changes over time. In this way, we use it to guide our treatment protocol so we can maximise your chances the conceiving.

Spoiler alert: It’s not random.
It helps us understand what’s going on inside your body—even things that may not yet show up in bloodwork.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this session:

✔️ What tongue colour, shape, and coating can indicate about digestion, stress, and period & cycle health

✔️ How your pulse can help us assess hormone balance and blood flow

✔️ Why these tools help individualise your care across your menstrual cycles

✔️ What changes in tongue or pulse might tell us during IVF or preconception

support when we can seem your fertility and reproductive health flourishing!

✔️ How this shapes our recommendations on acupuncture, herbs, and lifestyle
