Digestive comfort can be influenced by many factors, including eating patterns, daily routines, stress, sleep, medication and general health.
At YongHe Chinese Medicine Clinic, registered Chinese medicine practitioners provide individual consultations for people interested in acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine as part of their broader approach to digestive and general wellbeing.
Each person’s circumstances are different. The suitability of any service is considered following an individual consultation and assessment.
Our Approach
Your first appointment begins with a detailed discussion about your health history, current concerns, lifestyle and treatment preferences.
Your practitioner may ask about:
- Appetite and eating patterns
- General digestive comfort
- Bowel habits
- Food and drink routines
- Sleep and energy
- Stress and lifestyle factors
- Current medications and supplements
- Existing medical conditions
- Previous healthcare and investigations
- Previous experience with acupuncture or Chinese herbal medicine
Chinese medicine assessment methods, including observing the tongue and feeling the pulse, may also be used where relevant.
Following the consultation, your practitioner will explain the available services and discuss whether they may be appropriate for your individual circumstances.
