What To Expect In A TCM Treatment Session

Welcome to the world of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for holistic health.

Whether you've have experiences on TCM or it's your first time to taste, welcome to read this post to learn more about how I will work with you during a treatment session and what you can expect.

For your first visit, Initial Consultation takes about 90 mins.

We will begin by talking through various aspects of you, chief concerns, date of brith, life style, health history, and more. Combining with TCM differential techniques, typically Pulse-taking and Tongue-observing, it will provide with us a comprehensive understanding of your situation, including the congenital constitution, the susceptibility to specific health issues arising from potential disharmony among five elements in the constitution, the root problem of this episode, and what might be the most appropriate treatment method under your unique circumstance.

Subsequently, a personalised treatment plan will be implemented for the remainder of the time, which may involve one of the TCM therapies or an optimal combination tailored to best suit you from my perspective, and of course make you comfortable with.

Since the second visit, Follow-up Session will last 45~60 mins.

The treatment plan will be fine-tuned based on your feedback from the previous treatment. More gentle or intensive approaches would be applied accordingly to achieve the goal we expect.

For acute conditions, such as common cold, flu or coughing, 2~3 follow-ups are recommended within two weeks for the quick recovery. In contrast, 5~10 sessions on a weekly basis are usually necessary to take effects for chronic health issues.

Once the main complain has been relieved, Maintenance Session will take place regularly on a fortnightly or monthly basis for preventive purpose and optimal wellness.

Specific techniques, typically Navel Ba Gua Acupuncture, Five Elements Acupuncture, Moxibustion or Herbal Pills, will be employed respectively or cooperatively based on the features of the current season and your constitutional situation to maintain the balance and harmony on the whole of your body, mind and spirit.
