How Does Chinese Medicine Treat Gynaecological Issues?
Read MoreBy Steven Clavey
In Chinese medicine, “women’s problems” are considered within the context of the whole body and its functioning. Chinese gynaecology addresses itself to the realm of “functional” disorder, a lack of coordination in the body which may not yet have damaged the body structurally. Endometriosis, for example, does not just happen overnight; it begins to develop long beforehand, and the signs of this development can be spotted in advance.

Treating Dermatology with Chinese Medicine
Read MoreBy Davina Mercuri
Chinese medicine dermatology sees the health of the skin as a reflection of the internal health of the body. In a consultation we don't only look at the skin but also ask questions regarding the health and functioning of the body, check your tongue and take your pulse. This information provides us with a holistic understanding of the mechanisms causing the disease and allows us to tailor a treatment specifically for the individual and their condition.
