MPD (Medical Pulse Diagnosis)& Herbs
I am currently the only practitioner in Ireland specialising exclusively in MPD (Medical Pulse Diagnosis). This is a unique system for determining a person’s Chinese medical diagnosis through detailed pulse analysis.
In addition to 20 years’ experience in Chinese Medicine, I began studying this particular method 10 years ago and continue my professional development with Bob Doane. His clinic, located a short ferry ride from Seattle, has been treating 120 patients a day for the past 28 years, with every case carefully documented and supported by a large, skilled team. Travelling there from Dublin takes about 24 hours door to door, but the experience was worth every mile.
Seeing the results first-hand convinced me of MPD’s effectiveness. Under Bob’s mentorship, I witnessed how Chinese Herbal Medicine, when used strategically, can help people in ways I had not seen before. I seek out the best teachers, learn from them, and integrate what I observe and experience into my own clinical practice. The results for my clients have been remarkable, especially for those with long-term health issues who have only ever found short-term relief elsewhere.
The herbal strategies I use are highly individualised and often complex, tailored to each person’s unique presentation. I combine this with my background in Western medicine, always taking a full medical history to ensure safety. From there, your pulse guides the formula, showing what your body needs to regain its natural rhythm and health.
Pour - Stir - Dissolve - Drink - Easy
The herbs I provide require only a mug or cup, a kettle of boiled water, and a teaspoon. Simply pour, stir, dissolve, and drink. They are transportable, easy to use, hassle-free, and more effective due to their concentrated form. Our lifestyle has dramatically evolved since herbal medicine first gained a foothold in the West. In my early days of practice, clients would endure the lengthy process of boiling what resembled leaves and twigs for hours, filling their homes with an intriguing aroma. After cooking, they would strain and separate the liquid decoction, storing it in the fridge, where it would infuse its scent into everything nearby. The final step involved reheating the dosage needed, a routine repeated every three days for each batch. While the herbal decoction was effective, the practicality of such preparation is no longer viable in today’s fast-paced world.
Ancient Chinese medicine, especially herbal use, contributed to the longevity of Emperors and elites during times of lower life expectancy. Skilled herbalists crafted remedies based on individual health needs, utilizing nature's benefits.
Integrating these personalised herbal prescriptions into modern health practices can enhance physical vitality, mental clarity, and emotional resilience. They can alleviate chronic conditions, reduce stress, and improve sleep quality, thereby enhancing overall quality of life. Today, harnessing this ancient wisdom through accessible herbal treatments enables individuals to pursue a flourishing, pain-free life similar to that of the ancient elite.
