What Traditional Chinese Medicine at The Herbalist Offers

Traditional Chinese Medicine focuses on balancing the body's energy, or Qi, to promote natural healing. Unlike some modern treatments that target symptoms alone, TCM looks at the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. This approach can be especially helpful for chronic conditions, stress management, and improving vitality.

At The Herbalist in Ealing, you can explore several Traditional Chinese Medicine therapies:

• Acupuncture: Thin needles are gently inserted into specific points on the body to stimulate energy flow and relieve pain or tension. Research shows acupuncture can help with headaches, back pain, and anxiety.

• Massage: TCM massage techniques improve circulation, reduce muscle stiffness, and promote relaxation. These massages differ from typical Western styles by focusing on energy pathways.

• Cupping: This involves placing suction cups on the skin to increase blood flow and release muscle knots. Cupping is often used to ease respiratory issues and muscle soreness.

• Herbal Medicine: Customised herbal formulas support internal balance and treat various health concerns. The Herbalist carefully selects herbs based on individual needs.

• Microneedling and Aesthetics: Beyond traditional therapies, The Herbalist also offers microneedling treatments, polynucelotides and other therapies to improve skin texture and appearance, blending ancient wisdom with modern aesthetics.
