TCM for General Health
Maybe you don’t have any serious illness, but often experience migraines, insomnia or other discomforts that affect your quality of life and prevent you from functioning at your optimal level.
‘Sub-health issues’ are often used to describe a range of non-specific symptoms and ailments that don’t fit into a clear disease category but indicate that an individual’s health is not optimal. If left untreated, they can put you at risk of developing more serious conditions later on.
Common sub-health issues we routinely help with include (but not limited to):
- Common cold, flu & cough
- Headaches & migraines
- High cholesterol
- Lethargy & fatigue
- Insomnia
- Poor immune system
- Digestive Issues
- Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
- Indigestion
- Gastric pain
- Bloating
- Constipation
- Sinusitis
- Long-COVID symptoms
- Eye conditions (dry eyes, myopia, glaucoma, floaters)
- Sexual health & Erectile dysfunction
- Paediatrics
- Mental health (stress, depression, anxiety)
A TCM Perspective
Chinese medicine theories view sub-health conditions as resulting from imbalances in the flow of Qi (vital life energy) and blood in the body’s meridians (energy pathways), as well as in key organs responsible for different parts of functioning in the body.
Any of these imbalances can manifest as fatigue, migraines, insomnia and other sub-health issues. Environmental factors, such as diet, climate, emotional stress, and lifestyle choices can also contribute to imbalances and exacerbate sub-health symptoms.
Through the TCM diagnosis and treatment methods such as acupuncture, cupping, moxibustion and/or herbal medication, we aim to holistically treat any imbalances in your body for it to function optimally again.
