Modern Chinese Medicine

Based on over 2000 years of application and development, merged and refined with modern knowlege and research, we leverage the principles and practices of traditional eastern medicine and modern health practices to provide a premium health care service.

Acupuncture Treatment Session
Acupuncture treatments are a collection of techniques involving the stimulation of points on the body such as penetrating the skin with very fine needles that are then manipulated manually or by electrical stimulation.

This is one of the main components of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and is among the oldest healing practices in the world.

It focuses on improving the overall health and wellbeing of the patient. By bringing the body’s internal systems back into balance, acupuncture promotes the natural healing process of the body and improving functioning as well helping maintain balanced health preventing and even reversing the onset of disease and disharmony.

During an acupuncture session the practitioner looks the whole person rather than just the symptoms of the particular complaint.

The diagnostic process is quite thorough and paints a holistic picture of the person’s current state of health.

This is achieved through the practitioner taking into account how the person is presenting visually, how they sound, through questions in the interview process, and through inspection of their tongue and palpation of their pulse.
