Classical Chinese Medicine

A time honoured tradition

The House of Natural Health specialises in Classical Chinese Medicine (CCM) which originated over 2200 years ago and was documented in a number of texts during the Qin and Han Dynasties.

Included are the practices of Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine, Massage and Diet Therapy. Moxibustion, Cupping and exercises called Dao yin, Qi Gong and Tai Chi are also part of the system.

The ancient Chinese evolved this system into a comprehensive understanding of health that integrated human physiology with the laws of nature, the environment, seasons, emotions and even the movement of star constellations.

Designed as a complete holistic medicine, CCM focuses on achieving health and wellbeing through the cultivation of harmony within every aspect of our lives.

Herbal Medicine

We prescribe dried and raw herbs boiled into a tea as well as powders and pills. Herbal liniments, washes and plasters are used to treat injury and skin conditions.

With over 800 individual herbs and an extensive range of formula combinations, we are able to treat a wide variety of conditions. Herbs belong to nature and are aligned with the laws that influence our systems and health. This means our individually prescribed formulas treat the cause of illness and have no unwanted side effects.

A Natural Tradition

Human physiology has not changed much in the past million years, although our diets, lifestyle and environments are vastly different.

Many new diseases have emerged due to these changes, yet by treating the physiology and the immune response the medicine is as effective as in was in ancient times.

Practising a 3000 year old herbal medicine tradition as it was originally intended is an inspiring profession that has stood the test of time with proven results.

Massage Therapy

The stresses of modern living can make our bodies feel tense and tired.

Massage is able to relieve stress and tension held in the muscles and helps realign the musculoskeletal system.

Massage treats back and neck injury, muscle pain, headaches, arthritis, insomnia and anxiety.

The feeling of deep relaxation from massage is due to a release of endorphins from the brain and nervous system which calms the heart and regulates breathing.

Other benefits from massage include improved circulation, relief of muscle aches and pains by removing metabolic toxins and inflammation trapped in tight muscles.

By taking care of our bodies we also regulate our emotions creating a positive outlook on life with a sense of wellbeing.

Massage is a traditional therapy from many cultures, the mixture of ancient wisdom and the latest medical research makes massage a dynamic practice for healing.

Steven Russell continues to research the latest techniques and treatment protocols to the highest level of practice for the benefit of patients at the House of Natural Health.

Acupuncture

We practice classical acupuncture following the principles of the ancient Chinese texts. These principles are adaptable to treat a wide range of conditions in our modern world. Acupuncture relaxes the muscles, improves blood circulation, regulates immunity, calms your mind, reduces inflammation and improves organ function.

How does Acupuncture work?

Acupuncture charts are a map of the points on the body where fine needles are inserted into the skin. These charts only show one tenth of the entire system of channels that your practitioner navigates. These channels are transportation pathways for your vital organs and systems to send information, blood and nutrients to every part of your body. When any of these pathways are blocked there will be pain in the area or dysfunction of the systems involved.

Acupuncture points are specifically chosen to remove the obstruction from the channels and re-establish circulation to and from the body and its organ systems.

The technique of painlessly needling these points requires specialised skills to find the correct location and depth of obstruction to the channel's natural flow.

In most cases the fine needle is only inserted to a depth of 2-4 millimetres, with gentle manipulation specific to your health and condition.

It is common for you to feel deeply relaxed within a short time of the treatment. Many people describe a sense of balance and wellbeing in the days following.
