Conditions We Treat
Chinese medicine is the world’s oldest continuing medical practice and has been in use for over two thousand years. Over this time it has been used to treat almost every kind of illness and injury.
There is a maxim which says, if you are sick, seek the oldest, most experienced doctor you can find. The chances are, they have treated your condition before. Chinese medicine is the ‘old doctor’ of health care. One of the strengths of Chinese medicine is its ability to treat a wide range of illnesses and conditions.

Serious Illness
We also provide adjunct treatment to people with serious & life-threatening conditions such as cancer, MS and hepatitis. In such instances we treat with acupuncture and herbs to complement the patient’s conventional biomedical treatment.
While we can’t cure these conditions we can help to alleviate symptoms and the side-effects of radiation, chemotherapy and pharmaceuticals.
