Chinese Medicine

This is an ancient medical system based on Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs; it goes back 2,000 years which is testament to its success. Its defining strength lies in its ability to adapt to the unique nature and balance of each individual. Tongue and pulse are used as methods of diagnosis.

Chinese Medicine works by stimulating the healing powers of the body, in a holistic way, treating mind, body and soul. It can be used in isolation or in conjunction with Western Medicine to improve most conditions.

Acupuncture - This treatment consists of inserting fine needles into specific points along specific channels. This activates the Qi which subsequently acts on the organs of the body. It is known for its therapeutic uses and ability to relieve pain.

Herbal Medicine - This practice uses medicinal plants/herbs from China, ingested as teas, powders or pills. The herbs are selected to work together in harmony and to treat specific conditions.

 

BioMeridian - Vantage

The BioMeridian Vantage system is an analysis of energy, using a probe at meridian points, to highlight areas of imbalance.  There are 58 points on the hands and feet, and this machine measures the flow of electricity between these points. It is non-invasive and completely painless. The measurements taken by the Vantage machine are then analysed by the computer and a colourful printed graph shows disharmony in 14 body systems, namely: immune, endocrine, metabolism, lymph/drainage, blood, urogenital, liver/gall bladder, pancreas, digestive, cardiovascular, respiratory, locomotor, nervous and skin. Each system is assigned a colour - Green, Yellow or Red; with Red requiring the most action.

This is a machine used in a similar fashion to EEGs and ECGs in that the patient can see graphs and other data from the analysis of measurements taken, which can be used, together with the practitioner, to formulate a nutritional plan. Further assessments can be made later on to observe progress and further action. The aim is to have all systems in the Green, with optimum health.
