East Asian medicine has been practised for over 2,000 years, and is excellent at treating a wide range of conditions, from muscular pains, post-surgical recovery, to chronic inflammatory and skin diseases. Herbal medicine has the ability to treat complex conditions and provide ongoing support for chronic illness. Acupuncture and cupping excel at resolving physical and emotional discomfort.
Successful treatment depends on accurate diagnosis, which comes with training and practice. Acupuncture is not just inserting needles; it’s about adjusting the body’s dynamics, which requires an understanding of them, and the frameworks that may work best. Herbal medicine is a significant step up in terms of understanding, and understanding the formulas and how to adjust them is akin to an art form.
