Treatments
Five modalities, one diagnosis
Every plan begins with pulse and tongue diagnosis. The modality is chosen to fit the pattern, never the other way around.
Chinese herbal medicine
中藥Formulas of 5–10 herbs compounded from our on-site dispensary as raw decoction, granules or pills, revised each visit.
Cupping
拔罐Glass or silicone cups draw stagnation out of tight fascia and muscle. Commonly used for shoulders, low back and colds.
Moxibustion
艾灸Warming mugwort applied above the skin for cold, deficient and depleted patterns — fatigue, cold hands, period pain.
Gua Sha & Tui Na
刮痧 · 推拿Scraping and structural massage for neck, jaw and back tension, often alongside needling in the same session.
Diet & lifestyle
食療Practical food, sleep and temperature guidance written down for you, adjusted to the season and your pattern.
What we treat
Patterns, not just symptoms
Chinese medicine reads the whole picture — sleep, digestion, cycle, temperature, stress — and treats the disharmony underneath the complaint. Most patients notice a shift within three to four sessions.
Chronic pain & injury
Low back, neck and shoulder pain, sciatica, sporting and workplace injury.
Stress, anxiety & sleep
Nervous-system regulation, racing mind at night, waking at 3am, tension headaches.
Fertility & IVF support
Cycle preparation, support through stimulation and transfer cycles, alongside your specialist.
Women's health
Period pain, irregular or absent cycles, PMS and PMDD, perimenopause and hot flushes.
Digestive health
Bloating, reflux, IBS patterns, appetite and bowel irregularity.
Fatigue & immunity
Post-viral depletion, recurrent colds, hayfever and seasonal allergies.
