Nutrition and supplements

What we eat can have a big impact on our health, so Chinese nutritional advice may form part of your treatment plan. Your practitioner may also recommend taking certain dietary supplements or gentle herbal remedies.

Moxibustion

During moxibustion, a herb is used to warm parts of the body or specific acupuncture points in order to trigger a particular response in the body.

Tui na

Tui na is a form of Chinese medical massage used when there is pain and stiffness. It can also be used to help other symptoms like certain digestions problems.
