ABOUT US

Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners

We are registered Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners (acupuncturists and herbalists). We pursued TCM studies in Canada, and are able to combine acupuncture techniques and clinical experience from diverse cultures. Treatments can be offered in organizations and patients' home. Our mission is to provide reliable and advanced TCM - acupuncture and herbal medicine treatments, and to enable TCM therapy to be more scientific and widely used in our Canadian community. We trust that TCM can enhance overall wellness of the patients, improve a wide range of health conditions, including internal and external disease, and can be a supplementary treatment to the western medicine.

Services

TCM has been a medical system for more than 2000 years. It is used to diagnosis, treat and prevent disease. We use TCM therapies including acupuncture, fire cupping, moxibustion (the burning of mugwort leaves close to the skin's surface), tuina (Chinese massage), herbal medicine and dietary suggestions to treat illness and maintain overall health.
