CAIRNS CHINESE MEDICINE

What is Chinese Medicine?

The primary feature of modern Chinese Medicine is the premise that good health relies on the restoration and maintenance of harmony, balance and order in the individual.

At Cairns Chinese Medicine we take a holistic approach to understanding normal function and disease processes and focus as much on the prevention of illness as we do on treatment. The origins of Chinese herbal medicine in China can be traced back at least 5,000 years, making it one of the oldest health care systems in the world. The practice of Chinese herbal medicine has become a natural and holistic system of primary health care.

From a Traditional Chinese Medicine viewpoint, if the flow of “qi” or energy flowing through the body’s meridians and organs becomes blocked, unbalanced or deficient , then the body fails to maintain harmony, equilibrium and balance; resulting in ill health.

​Treatment aims to restore health by targeting the diseased organ and regulating Qi and blood flow to remove obstructions, strengthening deficiency, and improve digestion.

At Cairns Chinese Medicine we invite you to let us help you restore wellness and balance: physically, mentally and emotionally.

What happens in a consultation at Cairns Chinese Medicine?

At the initial consultation we take a comprehensive case history by asking you about your current health concerns, past health conditions and a range of related matters, including diet, lifestyle habits, sleeping patterns, appetite, stress and food sensitivities. To further identify what are known in Chinese Medicine as “patterns of disharmony “ in the body, we observe and note other health indicators such as the condition of the tongue, the characteristics of the pulse and the colour of the face and skin. Treatment commences once assessment and diagnosis is complete. As your condition changes and improves, the prescribed herbs may be adjusted and modified until the desired health outcome is achieved. 

What substances are used in Chinese herbal ​medicine?

There are more than 450 substances commonly used in Chinese herbal medicine, each with a distinct flavour and therapeutic action within the body. Most come from plants such as leaves, seeds, stems, twigs, roots, flowers, fruits as well as some minerals. Animal products are not used at Cairns Chinese Medicine. We provide an individual carefully designed herbal formula tailored to address your body’s specific imbalances. We prescribe Chinese Herbs using only the best quality capsules, pills or granules. Herbal medication is often used in combination with acupuncture and dietary and lifestyle changes.
