We focus on evidence-based and value-based medicine for those experiencing sub-optimal health issues to nurse themselves back to optimal wellbeing, such as:
Pain Management
In the treatment of pain, TCM uses methods such as acupuncture, cupping, Tuina etc. that have virtually no side effects.
According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), a number of studies suggest that acupuncture works particularly well on chronic pain such as back and neck pain; osteoarthritis/knee pain; and headache. It often reduces the incidence and severity of tension headaches and may prevent migraines.
Women’s and Men’s Health
Hormonal changes and stress can affect reproductive organs, which will cause imbalances to physical, emotional and mental health.
TCM treatments rebalance the hormones and release stress from the body and tension at the reproductive organs.

Digestive Health
According to TCM principles, the spleen governs our digestive system and its role is to digest digesting the food and water we consume, converting them into Qi and Blood, subsequently transporting them to different parts of our body for nourishment.
Dietary habits and humid environments may disrupt the digestive system's ability to transport fluids, thus causing water retention, or dampness that indicates Spleen deficiency in TCM.
Herbal medication can help to regulate the Spleen Qi, and moxibustion is frequently used to treat fatigue from Spleen Qi and Yang deficiency.
Sleep and Mental Health
Insomnia can cause many problems, largely due to fatigue. These include low energy, difficulty concentrating, mood disturbances, and potentially poor performance at school or work. When insomnia lasts more than just a night or two, the secondary symptoms can become compound over time. A person may quickly find multiple areas of their life affected, especially mental health as well as their general quality of life.
Researchers found that acupuncture was more effective at improving insomnia symptoms, sleep efficiency, and total sleep time during treatment. Patient's awakenings during sleep and self-rated anxiety improved significantly from 2 to 4 weeks after treatment.
While auricular acupuncture is a type of acupuncture performed specifically in the ear, it is also commonly used for treatment of anxiety.
Weight Management and Dietary Therapy
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a holistic and comprehensive system of health that views the body in accordance with nature. It puts the utmost importance on lifestyle choices and nutrition, and if these fail to bring the body into balance then it is time to seek medical advice. Food is viewed as a powerful tool to help create and maintain wellness.
Obesity has been linked to several serious medical conditions, including: -
Heart disease & stroke
High blood pressure
Diabetes
High blood pressure
Osteoarthritis
Gout
Gallbladder disease & gallstones
Breathing problems, such as sleep apnea (when a person stops breathing for a short time during sleep) and asthma
TCM weight management helps one to not just lose body weight but also maintain it at a healthy level. It is carried out safely under the strict guidance of a registered TCM physician. As long as the patients adhere to a recommended healthy lifestyle, the risk of weight rebound is low.
