Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatments
TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE TREATMENTS

Chinese medical practitioners use cultural beliefs to interpret the states of wellbeing. Any disharmony of the equilibrium of Yin and Yang or disturbance of their flow can cause imbalance. The task of a Chinese doctor is to restore such imbalance. Some treatments include Acupuncture, Moxibustion and Ho Guan (Cupping). The aim is to supplement the deficiency of either Yin or Yang or to reduce the excess. The holistic approach of Chinese medicine is to treat the body as a whole and address any imbalance.

Traditional Chinese Medical Consultation and Treatments

Chuan Spa’s Traditional Chinese Medical (TCM) initial treatment session (one hour) includes a consultation by a qualified TCM practitioner to interpret your states of wellbeing and relative treatment(s) will be prescribed.

Please refer to the Spa Concierge or Traditional Chinese Medical Consultant for all other specialised Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatments available at Chuan Spa London.

Prescribed treatment(s) may include:
Acupuncture
30 minute £120
1 hour £200

Acupuncture is a system of healing which has been practised in China for thousands of years. Its focus is on improving the overall wellbeing of the patient, rather than treating specific symptoms. According to traditional Chinese philosophy, our health depends on the body's motivating energy - known as Qi - moving in a smooth and balanced way through a series of meridians (channels) beneath the skin.

By inserting fine needles into the channels of energy, it can stimulate the body’s own healing response and help restore its natural balance. Each acupuncture treatment session includes time for intake history, needle placement and needle dwell time.
Moxibustion
30 minute £120
1 hour £200

An ancient traditional Chinese technique to help strengthen the blood and stimulate the flow of ‘Qi’ to maintain general health. Moxibustion involves the burning of a small, spongy Chinese herb, known as moxa, to facilitate healing. The practitioner will light one end of a moxa stick and hold it close to an acupressure point for several minutes to bring about a pleasant heat sensation penetrating deep into the skin.

Cupping is applied to certain acupressure points, as well as to regions of the body that are affected by pain.
Ho Guan (cupping)
30 minute £120
1 hour £200

Cupping refers to an ancient Chinese practice in which a heated cup is applied to the skin and the pressure in the cup has therapeutic effect on the skin and superficial muscle layer.

Cupping is applied to certain acupressure points, as well as to regions of the body that are affected by pain.

Treatment bookings should be made 24 hours in advance and are subject to availability.
