Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is highly personalized, both in acupuncture and herbal treatments.
Each approach is tailored to the individual’s unique symptoms and condition. In acupuncture, the selection of specific points and the pathways of the meridians can lead to very different therapeutic outcomes.

When it comes to herbal medicine, a prescription is never made up of just one single herb. Instead, it’s a carefully crafted formula that combines dozens of herbs, each with precise dosages. Even the preparation of the herbal tea is a delicate process — some herbs need to be boiled first, others later, and certain formulas require two separate rounds of simmering that can take up to two hours.

This attention to detail is what makes TCM so targeted and effective — it sees each person as unique, and aims to treat the root cause, not just the symptoms.

Zach has three openings this Thursday morning （27 October) for acupuncture or herbal medicine. If you’ve been thinking about booking in, now’s a great chance!

And for our return patients, just a quick reminder:
Keeping a steady routine really helps — an acupuncture session every 4 weeks can make the results last much longer.

We're thrilled to welcome our new massage therapist, Farryn Paikea, on board! You can book in with her every Wednesday and Friday from this week.

Phillippa White is here as well, looking after everyone on Tuesdays and Thursdays. So now, pretty much any day except Monday, you can treat yourself to a good massage. Easy as!

Tight shoulders? Sore back? Just need to switch off for a bit? We’ve got you.

Book a session and let our team take care of the rest. https://www.mikemcleodosteopathy.co.nz/book-now

The key isn’t about knowing the name of every single herb — it’s about understanding how to combine them in the right proportions to create a formula that precisely targets specific symptoms.
Traditional Chinese Medicine is a blend of knowledge, experience, intuition, and insight,
working together as one holistic system of healing.

What you see here is a herbal formula made specially for sleep problems.
It’s got 8 different herbs, each in a unique amount — this pack is for 7 days of treatment.
Next, we’ll brew it into a herbal tea for the patient to take home.
That’s what Traditional Chinese Medicine is all about — your formula is built just for you, based on your body and your symptoms.
Unlike mass-produced pills, every TCM formula is personal and unique.
