What is involved in the treatment?
A traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment
involves the use of modalities such as acupuncture, herbs, moxibustion
and dietary therapy.
The acupuncture needles are very fine and
disposable. Our TCM practitioners use a gentle, light, technique.
That is why people come back!
Raw herbs are already boiled and freeze dried
and therefore can be conveniently taken in granule form. We also
stock a large range of Chinese herbs in pill form.
What are some of the health problems treated?
Both acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine
treat health complaints of all kinds. This is achieved through an
ancient sophisticated system of analysing and categorising signs
and symptoms. A TCM consultation will offer an insightful diagnosis
into the causes of your disease and poor health.
Many health complaints and diseases that exist
today often respond more quickly to a TCM treatment than other health
modalities. See
Patient Stories.
Traditional Chinese medicine may also complement
many medical treatments and therefore save money, time and suffering
by quickly achieving better results.
Having an initial consultation is the best
way to find out if your health complaint is going to respond well.
If you are experiencing poor health that is not responding to medical
treatment we suggest you have a traditional Chinese medicine consultation.
About the consultation
The first consultation lasts an hour and a
half. The diagnosis is normally very thorough, and employs the ancient
Chinese arts of pulse and tongue diagnosis, palpation and observation.
The practitioner will then give an acupuncture treatment with the
aim of alleviating the main symptoms and correcting the cause of
the health problem or disease. The number of treatments needed depends
on the severity of the complaint and how long it has been a problem.
The practitioner may decide to use a combination
of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine as well as suggest dietary
and lifestyle changes. To understand this fully one needs to experience
a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) diagnosis and treatment.
