What to Expect from Traditional Chinese Medicine

Every patient’s body is different, and therefore so is each treatment. However, it’s always useful to know what the “average” treatment course might look like.

Initial Assessment

During the initial visit, Chris will get an understanding of your overall health picture, starting with the precise condition or conditions that you’re looking to address. In addition to this, he’ll also examine your general physical condition (potentially including aspects which you may not think are related to the main problem), your diet, lifestyle and emotional/mental health.

Acupuncture and/or Chinese Herbs

The majority of treatments will likely use both herbal medicine and acupuncture, although some conditions require only one or the other.

Acupuncture is done in the Orange or Bathurst clinic, and herbs are provided in the form of granulated extracts which are taken by simply dissolving in boiling water.

Dr Christopher Booth is an experienced acupuncturist and herbalist and has been in practice since the late nineties.
