Chinese Medicine Sunshine Coast 

Chinese Herbal Medicine is one of the oldest and most long standing healthcare systems in the world. The number of herbs used in Oriental Medicine has steadily increased during the past two thousand years.

Herbs are used to support and nourish the body, clear disease pathogens and enhance your well being to bring you back into optimal health. Herbs are administered alongside your acupuncture treatment and dietary and lifestyle changes, only if they are needed.

By taking herbs many patient’s experience:

• restful sleep
• stronger digestion and ease of digestive complaints
• boosted immunity and energy levels
• clearing of colds, flu and chronic cough
• reduced stress and anxiety and enhanced emotional well being
• minimal pre-mentrual symptoms and menstrual pain
• enhanced fertility and ease through menopause
• as well as treatment for a wide range of other conditions in both adults and children.

Herbal granules, capsules and pills are safe, effective, non addictive and are easy and convenient to use for all. All herbs are TGA (Australian Government health regulated) approved.

Moxa is a traditional technique using a dried herb called Mugwort (sage). It used to warm different areas of the body with the intention of stimulating circulation through the points and inducing a smoother flow of blood. It is helpful for pain in the body, fatigue, chronic health problems, fertility, digestion and the immune system.

Cupping involves sterile glass cups applied to an area of the body using a suction effect. This techniques is used to assist in the circulation of blood and metabolic waste that accumulate in the tissues and muscles. This therapy in combination with acupuncture break up the blockages lodged in the body (such as a painful shoulder) so that there is free circulation and improved range of movement. Cupping is also very helpful in drawing out a flu virus/cold from the body.

Nutrition is a large part of how Tanya works with people to optimise energy levels. Supporting healthy digestive function will strengthen the body. Chinese medicine includes seasonal living which means supporting our bodies with certain foods through Winter compared to  Summer, plus eating locally grown foods. Individual recommendations are advised alongside your acupuncture treatment.

Small dietary changes can improve your overall digestion function, support your immune system, settle hormonal ups and downs, improve fatigue and sporting performance.

Lifestyle recommendations assist you to remain healthy and prevent illness. It may be a yoga class you need to stretch out your body if your job is very stationary. It may be meditation to calm a busy mind and help you sleep. Or it may be talking to a professional through stressful life events.

Chinese medicine encompasses thorough care of you during and after treatment.
