Developed over more than two thousand years, Chinese Medicine is one of the oldest medical systems in the world.

Chinese Medicine aims to restore the natural balance of the body using acupuncture, traditional herbal medicines, cupping, and lifestyle and dietary therapy.

The development of Chinese Medicine began with the ancient Chinese observing the environment around them. Over time, they came to understand how environmental elements, lifestyle, emotions, relationships, foods and other factors affected health.

If a person has a symptom, rather than analysing the symptom in isolation, Chinese Medicine tries to understand how the symptom fits into the person’s overall state of health.   By identifying the overall pattern of disharmony, Chinese Medicine aims to treat the underlying condition that gives rise to a particular symptom, for the purposes of providing a long-lasting cure.
