How can TCM help me?

Alan offers individually tailored treatments to address underlying causes of conditions.

There are two broad categories of illness in TCM: 

The first is Wei Ke (external illness). These conditions - such as muscle, joint and nerve disorders - involve a disruption to the energy circulation throughout the energy channels of the body.

The second broad category in TCM is Nei Ke (internal illness). These conditions - such as chronic internal problems - involve primarily a dysfunctioning of the body’s internal organs.

TCM is an holistic system of medicine. It seeks to identify the underlying cause of illness.

TCM seeks to rebalance disharmonies and stimulate the body’s own healing mechanisms, and each treatment is tailored to the individual’s constitution.

When treating with herbs, Alan carefully develops specific prescriptions for each individual patient, using raw herbs.

TCM is often used for women's health issues and seniors health issues.
