👂 Auscultation in Chinese Medicine

It might not get as much attention as the pulse or tongue, but listening—really listening—is a powerful part of diagnosis in TCM.

Here’s what we’re tuning into:
🗣️ Voice: Is it loud, weak, fast, scattered, or soft like a whisper?
😮‍💨 Breathing: Are there wheezes, sighs, or shortness of breath?
😷 Cough: Is it dry and hacking, or moist and productive?
👃 Nasal sounds: Congested, clear, or with sniffling?

Each sound tells a story about Qi, Zang-Fu function, or pathogenic presence.
It’s subtle—but such a useful diagnostic clue when paired with the other four methods.
