Treatments
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a completely natural therapy which has been used since ancient times. Even before steel was invented, therapists used bone, stone, or copper to treat illness and balance the body’s Qi and blood without side effects.
Acupuncture is especially suitable for treating pain and nervous system problems.
Herbs
Chinese herbs have been used in everyday life and medical treatment for thousands of years. Over one thousand herbs have been collected, classified and used to treat illness.
Chinese herbal formulas provide an organic, natural treatment in raw, powered or capsule form. Herbs are carefully selected by the practitioner in creating a formula to balance one another thus reducing or eliminating any side effects.
Herbal medicine in most circumstances can be used alongside western prescriptions to treat and support the patient’s recovery. Just because herbs are natural does not mean they are ineffective or weak. They can be very effective in treating a wide range of acute and chronic diseases.
The herbal forumula provides a hoilistic support- treating all of the presenting symptoms at the same time. The prescribed content and dosage will often chance as the condition changes and improves. For example for someone suffering chronic cough and weak digestion, some of the herbs will be to clear the lungs and some will be to improve the digestive system, and some to build up the immune system.
Massage
Chinese massage or Tui Na is based on the meridian and acupuncture point system theory. The practioner uses a range of techniques- rolling, rubbing, pressing or patting with fingers, elbow and palms to strengthen energy and unblock stagnation. This unique technique is not only useful for treating muscular problems, it can also be helpful for those with internal conditions. For example, in treating those with indigestion, stomach and large intestine points may be used in the massage treatment. Tui Na is equivalent to acupuncture treatment, but without any pain.
Massage is particularly good for those with:
Muscular problems, neck, shoulder, back pain
Stress, depression, anxiety, unhappiness, moodiness
Chronic headaches, migraines
Digestion problems bloating, allergies, irritable bowel syndrome
Immune system problems
Reflexology
Reflexology is a foot massage technique which stimulates points on the feet to help heal the whole person. Finger pressure can be combined with a herbal bath using a formula of individual herbs to treat the prevailing condition.
Reflexology is especially good for:
Nervous system conditions
Worry
Stress
Insomnia
Reproductive problems
Infertility
Hormone imbalance
Prostate inflammation
Problems with sexual energy
Cupping
Cupping is a therapeutic technique that uses small glass cups to create suction on the skin’s surface. This suction provides a sense of release and relief without pain.
This technique is widely used in the colder weather and can effectively relieve symptoms of cold and pain.
Cupping is especially good for:
Arthritis
Common cold
Stress
Bloating
Spooning (Gua Sha)
This technique uses a Chinese ceramic spoon with a special herbal oil to rub on the skin’s surface, following the acupuncture points and the meridians, based on the practioner’s diagnoses of condition of the body.
Spooning is especially good for:
Illnesses with a fever (hot conditions)
Anxiety
Hyperactivity
Stagnation of the blood circulation
Back and muscle pain
Clearing toxins from the body
Common questions
Do you have to suffer period pain?
No you don’t. Period pain is not normal-it is a sign of internal imbalance that can often be very successfully treated with Chinese Medicine-.
Is muscular pain best treated by external techniques?
Not always. In many cases treating the internal condition such as the nervous system or the liver system is also required.
Is massage only good for muscular problems?
No, it is good for a range of conditions including internal diseases.
Can migraine be cured using Chinese Medicine?
Yes, in most cases.
Does acupuncture hurt?
Yes and no. The sensation of the needle is often more like numbness, tightness, or slight aching. The practitioner can modify the treatment to reduce any discomfort and for very sensitive people, we can use a very light, pain-free technique.
Is acupuncture like getting an injection?
No it is completely different. Many people who have initial fears find their experience is completely different from what they thought. Acupuncture needles are fine and hair-like, and the sensation is very different- often pleasant and relaxing. Some people even fall asleep during treatment.
What is in a herbal formula?
This depends on the diagnosis. We often choose around about 12 herbs out of over 1000. Each herb is selected carefully to create a balanced prescription.
The herbal forumula provides a hoilistic support- treating all of the presenting symptoms at the same time. The prescribed content and dosage will often chance as the condition changes and improves. For example for someone suffering chronic cough and weak digestion, some of the herbs will be to clear the lungs and some will be to improve the digestive system, and some to build up the immune system.
Without side effects.
