Therapies

Here you will find information about the therapies such as Acupuncture and Herbal medicine that are offered, as well as a range of information.
A large percentage of today’s diseases are based on lack of knowledge and fear of change. This complimentary medicine can interrelate with your current health regime, teaching you how to become healthier and stay that way.

Even though Chinese medicine is over 3000 years old, it is a changing and developing medicine incorporating new knowledge and developing new treatments and as such it has become more embraced by the western world. There is much evidence based research on acupuncture and herbs now (the Nobel prize was recently awarded for research into a major malaria killing herb Artemesia annuae, that has been used for thousands of years).

In Australia Chinese medicine students study many Western health subjects like anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, biochemistry and botany, alongside their Chinese subjects. It is important to understand health from a Western perspective and to be very aware of possible drug interactions with herbs. It takes 4-5 years to train in acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine with over 1500 clinical hours of clinical experience before qualifying. Compare this to a few days training for “Dry Needling”.
