Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
Chinese herbal medicine—sometimes referred to as TCM, Chinese herbs, or Oriental medicine—is one of the core components of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It uses a wide range of natural herbs and plant-based ingredients to support the body’s healing process and restore internal harmony.
Herbs may be prescribed individually or as custom formulas combining multiple ingredients to enhance therapeutic effect. These formulas are often brewed into teas and adjusted over time based on your symptoms and progress.
Since the 1950s, Chinese herbal medicine has been modernized in China, incorporating knowledge from Western anatomy and pathology while maintaining its traditional principles.
At our centre, TCM begins with a comprehensive consultation. Our practitioner will explore not only your physical symptoms, but also your emotional and mental wellbeing—believing that true healing requires treating the whole person.
Your consultation may include:
Detailed questions about your lifestyle, emotions, and physical concerns
Pulse diagnosis (checking multiple pulses for internal organ function)
Tongue analysis (examining color, coating, and texture)
Using this information, your practitioner will develop a personalised treatment plan that may include:
A carefully crafted herbal formula
Acupuncture
Dietary or lifestyle advice
Massage (Tuina)
Other complementary TCM therapies
