Why Should You Give TCM a Try?
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been used as a primary healthcare system in China for thousands of years. This history is uninterrupted with each generation of practitioners standing on the shoulders of the one before and learning from their successes and failures. As a result, the TCM practised today is safe, effective and evidence based.
How Does TCM Work?
TCM has its own unique understanding of the human body that integrates the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of a person. This is a traditional rather than new age approach that concentrates on establishing the underlying causes of disease.
Once these are understood, the practitioner can discern the progression of an illness and the areas/systems of the body that are affected. A treatment plan can then be developed to clear the symptoms of the condition while addressing its underlying causes so as to reduce re-occurrences.
Conditions That Can Be Treated With TCM
As TCM views the body as a whole, treating both the symptoms of disease as well as the root causes, it can be applied to almost any conditions. Additionally, it can be used to compliment other forms of medicine, improving their effect or reducing their side effects.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has listed many conditions that can be effectively treated by acupuncture based on clinical studies conducted around the world. These are listed below along with some other conditions commonly treated by TCM.
- Neurological Conditions
- Respiratory Conditions
- Digestive System Disorders
Urogenital Disorders - Gynaecological and Obstetric Disorders
- Skin Conditions
- Eye Conditions
- Musculoskeletal Disorders
- Sporting Injuries
- Psychological Conditions

Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese Herbal Medicine is an ancient system of combining medicinal substances that has developed over the past 5000 years. During this period, practitioners of TCM have compiled a detailed understanding of the properties and functions of several thousand medicinal substances. In modern practice, however, 150-300 substances derived from plant, animal and mineral sources are commonly used.
What To Expect During a Consultation?
A consultation is generally vital when dispensing herbal medicine as it allows the practitioner to ascertain the nature of a condition and differentiate the pattern of disharmony that underlies that condition.
A herbal formula can then be developed to address the underlying imbalance, while also treating the presenting symptoms. Formulas generally contain groups of herbs that are traditionally used to treat certain aspects of a pathology.
About The Herbs We Prescribe
In our practice, all formulas are made with granulated herbs which are pre-prepared to be pure and concentrated. This provides a therapeutic dose with only one small scoop twice daily. The other benefits of granulated herbs are a mild taste and minimal preparation time.
