Herbal Medication

HERBAL MEDICATION WHAT WHAT HOW IT HELPS FAQ WHAT IS HERBAL MEDICATION? In TCM, herbal medication goes beyond quick symptom relief. While certain herbs can offer fast relief for acute conditions, most prescriptions are thoughtfully tailored to address deeper, underlying imbalances in the body. Each person’s body constitution is unique, influenced by the balance (or imbalance) of Qi, Blood, Yin, Yang, and Dampness. TCM herbal formulas are carefully customised to target these root causes, rather than simply masking symptoms. For example, two individuals with respiratory concerns may be prescribed different herbs. A younger adult might receive a formula to clear Heat and resolve Phlegm-Dampness, while an older adult may be given a blend that also strengthens Qi and nourishes Blood to support overall vitality. Highly versatile, TCM herbal therapy is personalised to support a wide range of wellness concerns—even if you’re simply looking to improve your overall body constitution. It’s a powerful modality designed to create real, lasting change from within. In TCM, herbal medication goes beyond quick symptom relief.

Paediatric Massage

PAEDIATRIC MASSAGE WHAT WHAT HOW IT HELPS FAQ WHAT IS PAEDIATRIC MASSAGE? Paediatric Massage, also known as Paediatric Tuina, is a gentle, TCM massage therapy designed for children. Using light, rhythmic hand techniques, it helps to regulate the flow of Qi and Blood along the body’s meridian channels, promoting natural balance and supporting the body’s innate healing abilities. Unlike many other treatments, Paediatric Massage is safe, non-invasive, and well-suited for young children. This therapy is used for both the prevention and treatment of common childhood ailments such as digestive issues, respiratory conditions and sleep disturbances. Regular sessions can help strengthen a child’s body, support healthy growth and development, and enhance overall immunity. Because children’s skin is delicate and their bodies are still developing, the techniques used differ from adult Tuina. Paediatric Massage targets unique acupoints—specific areas and linear zones that support key aspects of a child’s health. This therapy is most effective for children under the age of 7. For general support, 2–3 sessions per week are typically recommended. Paediatric Massage, also known as Paediatric Tuina, is a gentle, TCM massage therapy designed for children.

Cupping

CUPPING WHAT WHAT HOW IT HELPS FAQ WHAT IS CUPPING? Cupping is a therapy used in TCM to improve circulation, ease muscle tension and support recovery. The technique involves heating glass cups to create a vacuum before carefully placing them on specific meridian points across the body. This suction gently lifts the skin and underlying tissues, which in turn stimulates the flow of Qi and Blood. This process helps to release deep-seated tightness, clear internal blockages, and restore overall balance. Cupping also draws stagnant fluids and toxins to the surface, supporting the body’s natural detox and healing capabilities. TYPES OF CUPPING METHODS & TECHNIQUES Depending on your condition and treatment goals, your physician may recommend one or a combination of cupping methods and techniques. Each session is tailored to your needs—ensuring comfort, safety, and effective results under the care of our trained team. DRY CUPPING A traditional suction technique that improves circulation and relieves muscle tension. WET CUPPING (BLOOD-LETTING) Involves small, controlled skin incisions before applying suction. This helps draw out Stagnant Blood and Toxins, providing a deeper level of detoxification. STATIONARY CUPPING Cups are placed on targeted areas for 5 to 15 minutes. A vacuum, often created by heating the air within the cup, draws the skin and underlying tissue upwards, effectively stimulating circulation and relieving Stagnation. GLIDING CUPPING (SCRAPING) Cups are moved across the skin with light suction, often with the aid of medicated oil. This technique combines the benefits of cupping with therapeutic massage, making it ideal for easing widespread muscle tightness, promoting relaxation, and enhancing mobility. FLASHING CUPPING Cups are quickly applied and removed in repeated succession over the same area. This dynamic technique is designed to stimulate circulation and relieve superficial tension without leaving prominent marks, making it suitable for sensitive areas or lighter treatment.

WHAT DO YOUR CUPPING MARKS MEAN? The colour and intensity of your cupping marks offer insight into your body’s internal condition. These visual cues help our physicians assess the level of Stagnation, Toxin buildup, or Dampness present in specific areas. Darker marks (deep red, purple, or black)suggest more significant Blood stagnation, Heat or Toxin accumulation. Light red markstypically indicate milder Stagnation or a better state of circulation. Pale or white markspoint toward Qi and Blood deficiency or a weaker constitution. These insights are crucial for guiding your personalised treatment plan and monitoring your progress throughout your healing journey. QI AND BLOOD DEFICIENCY (No redness) HEALTHY BLOOD CIRCULATION (Mild redness) EXCESS DAMPNESS (With lots of water droplets) MODERATE STAGNATION (Moderate redness) SEVERE STAGNATION (Deep red bruises) TOXINS ACCUMULATIONS (Spottings with redness) HOW IT HELPS INVIGORATES THE FLOW OF QI AND BLOOD Promotes circulation to ease congestion, reduce discomfort, and nourish muscles and tissues. EXPELS COLD , DAMPNESS AND TOXINS Helps draw out unwanted fluids and metabolic waste, addressing symptoms linked to Dampness and Toxin accumulation.

Facial Acupuncture

FACIAL ACUPUNCTURE WHAT WHAT HOW IT HELPS FAQ WHAT IS FACIAL ACUPUNCTURE? Facial Acupuncture uses fine needles to stimulate the skin and underlying muscles, promoting better circulation, natural collagen production, and overall skin vitality. It’s a gentle, holistic way to lift, firm, and enhance your skin’s natural glow—without surgery or cosmetic injectables. HOW IT HELPS BOOST CIRCULATION AND GLOW Healthy skin stems from a harmonious flow of Qi and Blood. Facial acupuncture enhances this vital circulation to the face, ensuring skin cells receive ample oxygen and nutrients. Simultaneously, it supports the skin’s natural detoxification processes, helping to clear impurities and promote cellular renewal. This combined nourishment and purification leads to a brighter, more radiant complexion, truly awakening your skin’s innate luminosity. TONE AND TIGHTEN FACIAL MUSCLES [1] Sagging skin and loss of facial definition are often attributed to a weakening of Spleen Qi and a decline in the upward-lifting action of Qi. Facial acupuncture works by targeting specific facial muscles and the associated meridians (energetic pathways through which Qi flows). This gentle yet powerful stimulation helps to improve muscle tone and firmness, counteracting the effects of gravity and age. By strengthening the facial muscles and promoting the upward movement of Qi, facial acupuncture naturally lifts and sculpts the face, giving you a more youthful appearance without invasive procedures. REDUCE FINE LINES AND WRINKLES [2] The appearance of fine lines and wrinkles often signifies a depletion of Kidney Essence (also known as Jing) and a decline in Yin, leading to dryness and a loss of elasticity. Facial acupuncture encourages the natural production of collagen and elastin—two essential proteins for skin firmness and elasticity. The insertion of fine needles creates microscopic “micro-traumas” that signal the body’s natural healing response, directing Qi and Blood to the area. This influx of vital energy and nutrients stimulates collagen and elastin production. This helps to soften the appearance of fine lines, smooth wrinkles, and improve overall skin texture. EVEN SKIN TONE AND TEXTURE [3] Uneven skin tone, rough texture, and pigmentation issues are often linked to Blood Stagnation and imbalances in Liver Qi. A sluggish flow of Blood and Qi can lead to dullness, dark spots, and a lacklustre complexion. Facial acupuncture helps to promote healthy circulation and smooth the flow of Qi, revitalising skin function from within. By enhancing the transport of nutrients and the removal of waste, it supports cellular renewal and improves overall skin clarity. This helps to reduce visible pigmentation and rough patches, resulting in a more even, radiant, and vibrant complexion. CALM ACNE AND INFLAMMATION [4] Acne and inflammatory skin conditions are frequently associated with Heat and Dampness accumulation in the body, often linked to imbalances in the Lung, Spleen, or Stomach meridians. Facial acupuncture helps manage acne by clearing this excess Heat and resolving Dampness. By strategically placing needles, it can reduce inflammation, calm red and swollen areas, and promote detoxification. It supports the skin’s natural healing process, helping to regulate oil production, reduce breakouts, and improve the appearance of scars over time.

Acupuncture

ACUPUNCTURE WHAT WHAT HOW IT HELPS FAQ WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE? Acupuncture is a foundational therapy in TCM that involves inserting ultra-fine needles at specific points to stimulate Qi and Blood flow along the body’s energy pathways (meridians). When Qi is blocked, it can lead to discomfort or poor function. Acupuncture works to unblock this Qi, effectively relieving tension, restoring balance, and activating your body’s natural healing response. While most commonly known for pain treatment – with studies backing its efficacy for pain relief [1] – acupuncture can also benefit those suffering from chronic stress, poor sleep, digestive issues, fertility troubles, and more. Most people feel only a light tingling or mild sensation during treatment. While slight soreness may occur, it should never feel unbearable. Acupuncture is a gentle experience and generally not painful. Always inform your physician if you experience any discomfort or pain, so they can make adjustments accordingly. TYPES OF ACUPUNCTURE FACIAL ACUPUNCTURE Rejuvenates the skin from within, maintaining a youthful glow. BODY ACUPUNCTURE Targets points across the body and scalp to address diverse health issues. FAR-INFRARED ACUPUNCTURE Combines acupuncture with far-infrared heat for deeper healing. AURICULAR ACUPUNCTURE Stimulates ear points to address various conditions, often with needle-free ear seeds. HOW IT HELPS PAIN AND INFLAMMATION Pain often arises from disrupted Qi and Blood flow. “不通则痛，通则不痛” (where there is stagnation, there is pain) is a core principle in TCM. Acupuncture stimulates circulation to reduce inflammation and pain, supporting healing and effectively relieving chronic and acute conditions like arthritis, back and knee pain, headaches, and muscle aches.

It helps to regulate hormonal balance, which is crucial for conditions like irregular cycles, PCOS, and improving ovarian function.[2] By increasing Blood flow to the reproductive organs (uterus and ovaries), acupuncture can enhance egg quality and improve the receptivity of the uterine lining for implantation.[3] It also helps to harmonise the nervous system, reducing stress and anxiety,[4] which can significantly impact fertility. Commonly used alongside IVF or IUI, acupuncture aims to enhance pregnancy rates and optimise overall fertility outcomes by creating a more conducive environment for conception. Explore holistic support for male and female fertility STROKE AND POST-SURGERY RECOVERY Often used during rehabilitation following stroke or major surgery, acupuncture offers significant support by addressing crucial aspects of recovery. For stroke recovery, it aids by improving cerebral circulation and promoting neuroplasticity – the brain’s ability to reorganise itself and form new neural connections. This helps restore motor function, speech, and cognitive abilities by stimulating brain activity and protecting brain cells.[5] For post-surgery recovery, acupuncture works to reduce inflammation and swelling at the surgical site, accelerate tissue repair, and enhance circulation for optimal nutrient delivery to healing areas. It also plays a vital role in natural pain management and can alleviate common post-operative side effects like nausea and fatigue, promoting faster, smoother healing and overall functional restoration. CANCER CARE SUPPORT Acupuncture is a complementary therapy during cancer treatment and recovery. It works by regulating the body’s nervous system, which helps to reduce common treatment side effects like nausea and vomiting, alleviate fatigue, and calm anxiety.[6] It also helps strengthen the immune system.[7] Acupuncture treatments are focused on improving the cancer warrior’s quality of life by promoting relaxation, enhancing sleep, and helping them cope with the emotional and physical demands of cancer care. STRESS & SLEEP Eases symptoms of anxiety, depression and insomnia primarily by modulating the nervous system and influencing brain chemistry.[8] Acupuncture helps shift the body from a “fight or flight” (sympathetic) state to a more relaxed “rest and digest” (parasympathetic) state, promoting deep relaxation. This process stimulates the release of natural “feel-good” neurotransmitters like endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine, which improve mood and reduce stress hormones like cortisol. By regulating these vital pathways, acupuncture can enhance sleep quality and duration, calm the mind, and support cognitive function by fostering a balanced internal environment.[9] SKIN CONDITIONS Supports treatment of eczema, acne, and age-related skin concerns by addressing both superficial symptoms and underlying imbalances. It works to reduce inflammation, which is key for conditions like eczema and rosacea, and helps ease itching. Beyond symptomatic relief, acupuncture promotes skin healing by enhancing Blood flow to the dermal layers, delivering vital nutrients and oxygen, and facilitating toxin removal. It also focuses on clearing internal imbalances like Dampness or Heat, often seen as common contributors to skin issues, leading to clearer, healthier skin from within.
