Traditional Chinese Medicine
One of the oldest forms of healing known to man, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) – which includes Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine – has existed as a thoroughly effective system of health care in China for over 3000 years.

Depending on the type of problem it may take up to 80 minutes for the first visit. Subsequent visits last approximately 60 minutes. All aspects of the person are taken into consideration when the assessment is being made. Past and current medical history, family, lifestyle, diet and emotional factors are all part of the evaluation. The diagnosis includes examination of the tongue and pulse as part of the process of determining the pattern of illness. Persons currently taking medication should bring these along for the first visit.

What is Traditional Chinese Medicine Used For?
Like all forms of TCM, Acupuncture and Chinese herbal strive to boost, reinforce, strengthen and invigorate the Qi. Acupuncture uses very fine needles, applied to the skin, to drive out unhealthy Qi and restore healthy circulation of optimal Qi.
Herbs do likewise but “from the inside”. The herbs are ingested and work away, silently and unseen, to do their restorative, regenerative or vitalising work.
