What is Traditional Chinese Medicine - and why do we use it?
At Next Practice Parramatta, we take a whole-person approach to care. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is one of the systems we use to support overall wellbeing.
TCM is a long-established health framework that focuses on balance within the body. It uses a range of therapies that may help people manage their health in a holistic way.
Here's what TCM may involve:
๐ Acupuncture - a technique involving fine needles used to influence the body's energy pathways
๐ Herbal Medicine - plant based formulations traditionally used with TCM practice
๐ Moxibustion - the warming of specific joins using moxa
๐ Diet & Lifestyle Guidance - tailored recommendations based on TCM principles.
TCM can be part of a support approach to general wellbeing for many people. Everyone's experience is individual, and our practitioners can help you explore what may be suitable for your health needs.
