Conditions We Manage

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a holistic approach to health that has been practiced for thousands of years. It includes various therapies such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, cupping, guasha, and moxa therapy. TCM focuses on balancing the body's energy (Qi) to promote healing and prevent illness.

TCM can address a wide range of conditions including muscular pain and aches, stress, digestive issues, sleep disorders, fertility challenges, women's health concerns, and more. It is also effective for cosmetic facial acupuncture to enhance skin health and appearance.

Yes, absolutely! You are welcome to book a consultation without receiving acupuncture. During the consultation, we will discuss your health concerns, medical history, and treatment goals. We can explore various Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) approaches, such as herbal medicine, dietary recommendations, lifestyle adjustments, and other therapies like cupping or guasha, depending on your needs and preferences.

During your first visit, we will conduct a thorough consultation to understand your health history, current symptoms, and wellness goals. This helps us create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine needles into specific points on the body to stimulate the flow of Qi. This can help to alleviate pain, reduce stress, and promote overall wellness by encouraging the body's natural healing processes.

Acupuncture is generally not painful. The needles used are very fine, and most people experience minimal discomfort. Some may feel a slight tingling or pressure, but many find the treatment to be relaxing.

The number of treatments needed varies depending on the individual and the condition being treated. Some people experience relief after just a few sessions, while others may require ongoing treatments for chronic or complex issues.

Before your session, it’s best to eat a light meal and avoid caffeine or alcohol. After your session, try to rest and stay hydrated. It's also beneficial to avoid strenuous activities for a few hours to allow your body to fully benefit from the treatment.

TCM treatments are generally safe when performed by a qualified practitioner. Some people may experience mild side effects such as slight bruising or soreness at the needle sites, but these are usually temporary. Herbal remedies should be taken as prescribed to avoid any adverse effects.

Yes, TCM can be used alongside conventional medicine. It is important to inform both your TCM practitioner and your medical doctor about all treatments you are receiving to ensure they complement each other effectively.

Herbal medicine is often prescribed to complement acupuncture and enhance treatment outcomes. For those who dislike the taste of traditional herbal preparations, we offer herbal medicine in capsule form. Please note that there may be an additional cost for herbal medicine.
