Chinese herbs are used by Chinese doctors to restore the body's natural balance of YIN and YANG. They include natural substances such as flowers, leaves, stalks, seeds and roots of various plants. Each herb has its specific healing properties and their function is often described like 'warming and invigorating', '‘cooling and calming' or more specifically, 'removing Damp form the spleen', or 'cooling Heat in the Stomach'.

There are over 400 Chinese herbs in common use. They are carefully selected and combined together as a prescription to treat patient’s individual conditions. Therefore, Chinese herbal therapy is one-to-one care and supposed to be quite effective just according to its form. Although it sometimes takes a longer time for improvements to be noticed, it brings long-term benefits or even dramatic results for some problems which western medicine does not have good measure on.

The herbs are boiled and drunk as tea. They are also made in the form of tablets, pills or syrup. During the treatment, our doctor closely monitors your progress through regular consultation, altering the prescriptions or the dosage accordingly.

Reflexology is the practice of stimulating nerves on the feet, hands and ears, in order to encourage a beneficial effect on some other parts of the body, or to try to improve general health. Reflexology is most commonly performed on the feet, moving on to the hands and/or ears where physical restraints, such as veruccas or fractures, apply.

Practitioners believe the foot to be divided into a number of reflex zones corresponding to all zones of the energy of the body, and that applying pressure in the form of massage to "tight" or "gritty" areas of a person's foot will stimulate the corresponding part of the energy body and assist the self-healing process. Contrary to some beliefs, reflexology does not seek to diagnose or cure medical conditions - merely imbalances in the life energy (QI) of the body.

"Ear candling," also known as auricular candling or coning, refers to various procedures that involve placing a cone-shaped device in the ear canal and supposedly extracting earwax and other impurities with the help of smoke or a burning wick. The origins of candling are obscure. Ancient Tibet, China, Egypt, the pre-Columbian Americas, and even the mythical city of Atlantis are cited as possible contributors.
