The treatments themselves are carried out by Dr. Ian Chen, a man with a wealth of knowlegde and over 15 years experience in the field of Chinese medicine and it's various applications.
The most well known and readily available treatments are today, commonplace & no doubt you will have heard of most of them.
Some of these include:
- Acupuncture
- Acupressure
- Herbs
- Cupping
In today's western world, our society has became saturated with these types of treatments - so much so, that part of the fundamental 'message' or philosophy at the core of our medicinal culture has became somewhat lost or misplaced. This in turn means that, depending on the individual practitioner and their level of experience & knowledge, it is possible that the misplacement of our traditional practices is beginning to reflect on the quality of treatments being received by individuals that use Chinese medicine as a means to improve and benefit their health.
Slowly but surely, Chinese medicine appears to be becoming more of a fragmented corporate machine in today's society, as oppose to what it really should be about - helping and enabling a person to heal their physical, emotional or mental ailments.
Therefore, if you are considering Chinese medicine for yourself it is important that you educate yourself first and ensure that you do your research before deciding to go for any treatments.
Dr. Chen practices in an ethical and principled manner, focusing on quality rather quantity. Offering a personalised service that tailor meets the individual needs of his patients, he will arrange for you a free consultation where you will have the opportunity to have an informal chat with him about any health problems you may have and want to address.
He will then offer you a plan that suits your requirements, a range of treatments that will fit into your busy lifestyle and over a timescale that suits you. Treatments will vary from acupuncture & herbs, to very specialist massage techniques that are possessed by the few and in which themselves, require specialist training in China.
Dr. Chen has successfully treated literally hundreds of people over the years, curing many people of ailments and illnesses that are sometimes of a volatile & complex nature - some of which are considered, by many western doctors, to be incurable. His many patients spanning Edinburgh, the Lothians and beyond can prove testament to this fact.

- Psoriasis
- M.E
- I.B.S
- Migraine headaches
- Sciatica
