As a practitioner of East Asian Medicine, we tend to look at the body on a scale measure rather than black and white. Sometimes it is challenging for those who come from the binary perspective which our medicine is often based on to observe a scale, or in the context of thermography a colour range.
During a thermographic assessment the thermographer is looking for both a relative scale on the body, and certain patterns and measures as well. It is commonly known that problems arise when there are certain temperatures present (more on that in a future post) as well as patterns that are observed such as a parallel between ipsilateral (same side) heat signals in the breast, and in the jaw/teeth.
This is one example of why it could be helpful to do multiple thermographic scans. In this case, a breast scan as well as a cranio/dental/thyroid scan would be required to identify this parallel.
This is also an example of why I usually recommend clients to do a full set of thermographic scans on their first visit so that these patterns can be obvserved (or not) and they can be monitored over time.
Returning to my first comment about the value of having an East Asian Medicine background, I see that the relationship between the mouth/jaw and the breast also has a strong connection with the stomach channel, and the earth element. In an early stage, channel issues can be resolved by using East Asian Medicine (meridian therapy, acupuncture, herbs) to resotre balance, and clear blockages in these areas.
Having a visual perspective of these patterns really helps us to understand what is happening deeper in the body. Being a visually driven society, seeing these images can be very motivating for us to maintain conviction in improving our health and making lifestyle changes.
