What is Chinese Medicine?

Fortified in thousands of years of medical observation and practice, Chinese Medicine has continually demonstrated its relevance and efficacy in today’s modern world. Classical Chinese Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Chinese Medicine and East Asian Medicine are commonly used terms. Throughout Asia, region relevant techniques in Vietnam, Korea and Japan have also continued to develop to suit their climate and populations needs.

The basis of Chinese Medicine is to facilitate free flow of circulation or reduce stagnation. Chinese Medicine modalities utilise a network of meridians throughout the body to improve circulation specific to the ‘pattern’ or condition the individual is presenting with. Being a nature based medicine, there is emphasis on how the human body and environment are interdependent and influence each other, as well as drawing from nature with trusted herbal medicine formulas, reducing the reliance on synthetic medications and supplements.

At Cultivate Healing, we offer holistic health care aimed at guiding and supporting you on your journey to health restoration and healing through the principles and practices of Chinese Medicine.

Our approach fundamentally centres on treating the whole person at their capacity of cultivating their health and healing. We utilise a range of precise diagnostic methods unique to East Asian Medicines, including drawing from the classical approach of diagnosis and treatment protocols while being evidence informed in modern practice with Traditional Chinese Medicine.

By utilising Acupuncture and other supportive treatments from the Chinese Medicine scope, we can create a comprehensive care plan that promotes balance, wellness, and lasting health outcomes. sessions are crafted to be gentle, effective, and deeply relaxing. Rather than masking symptoms, we focus on addressing the root causes of discomfort or illness, all while avoiding forceful or painful techniques.
