The Art of Health | Traditional Chinese Medicine in Penshurst

Your symptoms may be the same, but the reason can be very different.

Two women can both have period pain, but not for the same reason. One person feels tired all the time. Another can't sleep. Another has hormonal changes they can't explain. These things aren't always treated the same way.

Your body is always telling you something.

You know how your grandmother always told you to keep warm and stop drinking cold water? She wasn't just being old-fashioned. Chinese medicine has been paying attention to these things for thousands of years. How we eat, how we sleep, how we handle stress, how we move, and how all of it affects the body. So rather than treating every headache, digestive problem or sleep issue the same way, we look at the individual pattern behind what you're experiencing.

Our Process

01

We talk

We want to know what's happening with you. Your symptoms, your health history, your lifestyle, and anything else you feel is important.

02

We look

We use traditional Chinese medicine assessment, including your tongue and pulse, along with auricular (ear) assessment. Each one gives us more information about what's happening in your body.

03

We put it together

This is the important part. We don't see one symptom and hand you the same treatment as everyone else. We look at the whole picture and your individual pattern.

04

We treat

Depending on what we find, your treatment may include acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, auricular medicine, cupping, moxibustion or Qi Gong.

Our Treatments

Auricular Medicine

One of Rachael's specialties. The ear is used as part of both assessment and treatment.

Cosmetic Acupuncture

Supporting healthy-looking skin through an approach that considers the whole person.

Traditional Chinese Medicine

Your symptoms read as part of the bigger picture, never in isolation.

Acupuncture

A traditional treatment using fine needles to support balance in the body.

Moxibustion & Cupping

Time-honoured warming and releasing techniques, used alongside treatment when appropriate.

Remedial Massage Therapy

Hands-on treatment for muscle tension, tightness and discomfort.

"I have been doing this for more than 20 years, and I am still learning."

Because the more we understand, the better the decisions we can make about your health. Rachael Lau has trained under masters across China, Taiwan, the US, Australia and the UK, and still travels every year to keep studying.

Free education, every week

Nearly 200,000 people learn Chinese medicine basics from Rachael online.

Simple, practical health tips rooted in thousands of years of Chinese medical wisdom. Why you should keep your feet warm. What your tongue says about your digestion. How to eat with your cycle. Rachael shares it all in plain language on Instagram and Facebook, so you can start looking after your body before you ever step into the clinic.

Don't just live with the symptoms and wonder why.

If something in your body doesn't feel right, let's take the time to understand it. You don't have to figure it out on your own.
