Common Questions

1. Why come to China for TCM when it’s available in my country?

Because China is the source. Every technique and herb originated here. You receive care from master practitioners trained in the world’s most rigorous TCM system, at a fraction of the cost.

2. Can TCM help with conditions Western medicine cannot resolve?

Absolutely. TCM excels at functional disorders (IBS, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, insomnia, anxiety) where Western tests show “no abnormality,” as well as post-surgical recovery, chemotherapy side effects, and fertility support.

3. How does TCM help with the emotional side of injury or surgery?

Acupuncture reduces cortisol and increases serotonin; herbal formulas “calm the Shen” (spirit); tui na and gentle movement restore a sense of agency and reduce fear of re-injury.

4. Is TCM safe? Does acupuncture hurt?

Yes – very safe. Acupuncture sensation is often a dull ache, tingling, or heavy feeling, not sharp pain. Most patients find it deeply relaxing.

5. Do the herbs taste bad?

Raw decoctions can be bitter, but we offer concentrated granules (more palatable) and pills for long-term maintenance.

6. What are cupping marks?

Circular marks that look like bruises but are typically painless; they indicate stagnation drawn to the surface and resolve within 3–7 days.

7. Will TCM conflict with my Western medications or surgery?

No – our practitioners are trained in integrative medicine and coordinate with our orthopedic surgeons to ensure safe, complementary care.
