Traditional Chinese Medicine

​

Traditional Chinese Medicine incorporates various techniques to treat illness

and restore health, these include;

 

Acupuncture 

The gentle insertion of fine needles into specific points on the the body called acupuncture points. Acupuncture can help to restore balance in the mind and body, stimulating or tonifying Qi and blood, harmonising yin and yang and unblocking meridians. This is useful for pain, internal medicine issues and general balancing of all systems in the body.

 

Cupping

The use of glass fire or vacuum cups that are placed onto the body to help move Qi, blood and stagnation assisting with pain management, clearing heat and toxins.

 

Moxibustion

We use moxibustion either directly on the skin or on top of needles promoting warmth in the channels and free flow of qi and blood. 

 

Chinese herbal medicine

Classical Chinese herbal medicine has been used for thousands of years to treat illness and imbalance. Formulas are constructed based on a patient's pattern presentation and current symptom picture, herbs are designed to bring the body back into harmony when imbalance is present. Many Chinese herbs contain properties that can clear pathogens, viruses and bacteria, they can also support and enhance immune responses, regulate blood, tonify Qi, and support energy production. Herbal medicine is often used in conjunction with acupuncture for better treatment outcomes. 

Herbal formulas are available in powders, tinctures, pills and in raw form.
