Chinese Herbal Medicine at Embrace Acupuncture

At Embrace Acupuncture, we incorporate Chinese Herbal Medicine to support and enhance the effects of Acupuncture. As fully qualified Chinese Medicine Practitioners trained in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine, we use these traditional therapies to bring about faster, more effective changes in symptoms and overall well-being.

Holistic and Natural Healing with Herbal Medicine

Chinese Herbal Medicine is an integral part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), a healing system that dates back thousands of years. TCM views health as a state of balance and illness as a sign of imbalance. By working with your body’s natural energy, or Qi, we use Herbal Medicine to restore harmony and promote healing. Herbal Medicine is prescribed according to your symptoms for personalised treatments. It enhances the effects of Acupuncture and speeds up the treatment results. They also work to improve digestive function and increase nutrient absorption of any vitamins or supplements you may be taking.

Herbs and Acupuncture: A Powerful Combination

We believe in the powerful synergy between Acupuncture and TCM. While Acupuncture stimulates the body's natural healing processes, herbal medicine provides internal support, allowing changes and improvements to happen more effectively. Many of our patients find that using both together speeds up recovery and enhances treatment outcomes.


We often recommend herbal medicine to enhance the effects of Acupuncture and help the body respond more quickly to treatment. Acupuncture stimulates the body’s natural healing mechanisms, while herbal medicine provides ongoing internal support between treatments.
