Why Use Chinese Medicine?


Chinese medicine offers a safe, evidence-backed, and cost-effective approach to improving patient outcomes, particularly when combined with mainstream medical care.


The World Health Organization (WHO) recognises acupuncture as effective for over 90 diseases and disorders through controlled trials, including:

  • Allergic rhinitis (hay fever)
  • Dysmenorrhea
  • Facial, knee, and low back pain
  • Insomnia
  • Malposition of a fetus
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Postoperative pain
  • Substance dependency (including tobacco)


Additionally, the Cochrane Collaboration, a respected authority on systematic reviews, found evidence that acupuncture may have therapeutic effects on several conditions, including

  • Chronic lower back pain
  • Migraines
  • IBS
  • Chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting
  • Post-surgery nausea and vomiting
  • Neck pain
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Tension-type headaches


We’ve put together a series of fact sheets on conditions commonly addressed in Chinese medicine, offering insights into its unique approach and relevant clinical trials.
