According to the laws of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), our health is dependant upon the harmony and balance of energy (or Qi) within us. This energy flows throughout the body and can sometimes become blocked, weakened, or excess in force. TCM works by restoring the body’s natural flow of energy, reducing pain, and maintaining good health.

Disruptions to energy flow can be caused by illness, trauma, lifestyle, or from our inherited constitution. However, emotions can also be a factor; it is no coincidence that we become ill when suffering from stress. This means that the conditions that TCM can help are not exclusively physical - treatments are holistic enabling ‘all’ of you to be balanced.

TCM is over 5,000 years old and has certainly stood the test of time. Treatment plans are tailored to each individual’s unique constitution and are therefore excellent at getting to the root cause of health problems to prevent recurrence. The beauty of TCM is that it can work alone, or even complement Western Medicine to enable a better outcome. For example, a recent British Medical Journal study found that IVF combined with acupuncture treatment increased the chance of a successful pregnancy by 65% compared to IVF alone.

TCM treatment methods include Acupuncture, Facial Revitalisation Acupuncture, Tuina Massage, Chinese Herbal Medicine, Auricular Acupuncture, Cupping, Moxibustion and dietary and lifestyle advice.
