Acupuncture

An essential aspect of TCVM, acupuncture uses very fine needles that are inserted at specific acupuncture points along the body, to facilitate energy flow and therefore healing. You may also have heard of the term “meridians”, which are essentially a network of channels where energy flows throughout the body constantly - like a highway and roads that are all interconnected. The number of points chosen, chronological sequence of needling, needle retention times, are based on TCVM diagnosis and reasoning. Acupuncture is gentle yet highly effective for all musculoskeletal conditions and is also used to support numerous diseases associated with internal medicine.

Herbal Medicine

Herbal medicine has been practised traditionally for thousands of years, in both western and eastern cultures. Herbs are a lot closer to us than we think, such as their extensive use in the culinary world, or even just growing in our backyards. Each herb retains their own natural healing properties, which allows the right combination of herbs to work together synergistically to achieve the desired effect. One or multiple herbal formulas can be used together at once, often added to food, and are chosen specifically based on TCVM diagnoses and individual patient’s needs. Prescribed herbal formulas may come in the form of powder, tea pills or liquid tinctures.

Nutrition

Nutrition or ‘Food therapy’ forms a key component of my consultation, whether it is for a young growing puppy, kitten or an adult. “We are what we eat” - wholesome foods provide the right energy for general well-being and immunity against ailments. The diet of our pet becomes increasingly important especially when they are fighting or recovering from illnesses. Therefore it is also important to recognise that each individual pet may have different dietary requirements as well as intolerances. Food therapy is commonly used in conjunction with herbal formulas, to help correct specific imbalances within the body.
