I’ve been coming to The Wellness Zone for remedial massage with Mel, and it’s been fantastic. I also use the wellness pod when I need to relax, and it’s a great way to unwind. My daughter has been seeing the Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture team to help with her PCOS, and Loraine’s clinical nutrition advice has been a game-changer for her. The staff are super friendly, and the whole place has such a calming atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Questions You May Have About
Chinese Herbal Medicine
What is Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)?
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a holistic system of care that focuses on restoring balance within the body. It uses acupuncture, herbal medicine, and lifestyle guidance to support overall health and well-being.
Is Chinese herbal medicine safe?
Yes, when prescribed by an AHPRA-registered Chinese medicine practitioner. They would select treatments and herbal prescriptions carefully with consideration of your individual health status, medications, and medical history.
Can I take Chinese herbal medicine during pregnancy?
Chinese herbal medicine may be used during pregnancy under professional guidance. Care is approached cautiously, with appropriate herbs selected, dosages adjusted, and regular review.
What should I expect during a TCM session?
Your session is calm, unhurried, and tailored to you. It typically includes:
- A detailed discussion of your health history, symptoms, and goals
- Traditional assessments, such as tongue and pulse diagnosis
- A clear explanation of findings in everyday language
- Personalised treatment, which may include acupuncture and/or herbal medicine
Everything is discussed with you beforehand, and care is always adapted to your comfort level.
How long does it take for Traditional Chinese Medicine to work?
This varies between individuals and depends on many factors, including overall health and the nature of your concern.
Some people notice changes within a few sessions, while longer-standing or more complex conditions benefit from a gradual approach over time.
Why do I wake up at 3 am every night, according to Chinese medicine?
In Chinese medicine, the body is viewed as following a natural 24-hour cycle, sometimes called the Chinese Body Clock. If you regularly wake around 3 am, Chinese medicine may interpret this as a sign that the Liver system is under strain.
This can be influenced by factors such as:
- Ongoing stress or emotional tension
- Overwork or burnout
- Irregular sleep patterns
- Digestive overload, late meals, or alcohol
- Hormonal changes
What are the 7 pillars of Traditional Chinese Medicine?
Traditional Chinese Medicine is built on several interconnected principles that guide diagnosis and treatment. These are often described as its core “pillars”:
- Yin and Yang
- Qi (Vital Energy)
- Blood and Body Fluids
- Zang-Fu (Organ Systems)
- Meridians
- Five Element Theory
- Pattern Differentiation
