Chinese Medicine

Complementary Medicine is a term used to describe a range of treatments outside of conventional western medical treatments. Many of these therapies are based on what they will call holistic philosophy i.e. that body, mind and spirit are indivisible. The strength of the complementary medical approach is that it concentrates on increasing those resources, physical and emotional, which are needed for dealing with any issue in a person’s life and on restoring wellbeing.

We have two practitioners of Chinese Medicine (acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine) attached to our Clinic. As collaboration between Western Medical specialists and Chinese trained Medical specialists increases there is more and more evidence of the effectiveness of Chinese Medicine in the treatment of fertility. All treatment is based on the idea that the basic issue in fertility treatment is that of the body's reserves of energy. If conserved, treated appropriately and nourished with the help of both acupuncture and herbal medicine, fertility will increase.

Anyone consulting a complementary therapist needs to be sure of that practitioner’s professional credentials. Make sure at least that they belong to a professional organization.
