Treatments

Improve your well-being with our holistic approach

During the consultation, a brief medical history will be taken from patients.  Patients usually are suggested to bring along with their current medication.  Then the unique Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) holistic diagnostic methods will be applied according to the theory of Yin Yang and Five Elements.  Patients can then be diagnosed individually using TCM syndrome differentiation.

Some of the Chinese terminology may seem unusual to people raised in the UK but behind this approach is well researched and experienced based holistic diagnosis and treatment.  A physical examination may also apply if it is necessary.  Finally, treatment will be prescribed separately according to individual diagnosis to enable the holistic therapeutic effect of TCM treatment on the human body.
