Personalised Care in Chinese Medicine — Restoring Balance through Acupuncture and Herbal Practice
Healing is not one path but a relationship. Under the Wild Plum approach, acupuncture and herbal medicine are two expressions of the same art — restoring flow, balance, and vitality through attentive care.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Herbal medicine is another main branch of Chinese Medicine – an elegant tradition of roots, barks, flowers, and minerals combined to meet your individual needs. Rather than standard formulas, each prescription is personalised to address both symptoms and underlying causes, encouraging the body’s own return to balance.
Common areas supported by herbs:
- Digestive discomfort, IBS, reflux
- Skin conditions – acne, eczema, psoriasis
- Respiratory issues – asthma, chronic cough, allergies
- Hormonal balance – PMS, fertility, menopause
- Fatigue, stress, anxiety, sleep imbalance
- Auto‑immune or inflammatory conditions
CLINICALLY SUPERVISED PRACTICE
I’m presently in my clinical years as a Chinese herbalist. All herbal treatments are clinically supervised by the UK’s top Chinese Herbal Practitioners, ensuring every formula is reviewed for suitability, safety, and effectiveness. This structure allows you to receive individualised (and cost‑efficient) care with professional oversight at each stage. All consultations are conducted online remotely, so you can access care wherever you are.
CONSULTATION
Each herbal plan begins with an online video consultation (around 60 minutes). I’ll review health history, diet, and lifestyle, then design a bespoke combination of 5–20 herbs prepared by a licensed UK or EU pharmacy. Formulas are supplied as easy‑to‑mix granules, taken as a warm tea. As your condition changes, your prescription evolves with you.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is part of the living system of Traditional Chinese Medicine, refined over centuries to support the body’s natural capacity for healing. With fine, sterile needles placed at specific points, treatment encourages circulation, reduces inflammation, quiets the nervous system, and restores harmony between body and mind.
Common reasons people come to acupuncture:
- Chronic or acute pain – back, neck, shoulders, knees
- Musculoskeletal and sports injuries
- Digestive issues – IBS, reflux, bloating
- Women’s health – menstrual irregularities, fertility, menopause
- Stress, anxiety, fatigue, poor sleep
- Respiratory symptoms and headaches

WHAT TO EXPECT
Each session includes a full consultation using classical diagnosis (tongue, pulse, observation). Sessions may also draw on moxibustion, cupping, or gua sha where appropriate, to warm, release, or move Qi. All treatments take place in a calm, confidential space – modern methods rooted in timeless medicine.
Combined Care
Acupuncture and herbal medicine work beautifully together — one nurtures through movement of Qi and blood, the other through nourishment and subtle chemistry. We’ll decide together which approach (or combination) best serves you.
