Chinese Medicine Looks at Your Health Differently

Chinese medicine is one of the oldest, most sophisticated and most widely used natural medical systems in the world.

We look at your health in a completely different way to Western medicine and treat you with a combination of acupuncture, supplements and diet.


Organ Function

We look at how well your organs are functioning (doing their job).

Your health is like a ‘tree’ with your symptoms being the ‘branches’ – it’s what you see and feel. But what’s causing health problems is often in the ‘roots’  – your organ health as the root cause.

Chinese medicine treats both the symptoms (the branch) and the root cause (the roots) of health issues.

If the root cause can be resolved, the symptoms will reduce or may go away entirely.

How we test for organ function health is very different to the usual blood tests you would receive in Western medicine.

We look at what you body is telling us including symptoms, your radial pulse, your tongue, your ear, your blood pressure, etc…

Blood Flow

Your blood contains almost everything your body needs to operate well and repair itself.

Good blood flow is good health.

Temperature

Like any engine, if your body runs too hot or too cold it won’t run very well.

We look at your temperatures and their effect on your digestion, hormone production and organ health

Diet

What you eat has an enormous effect on your health.

In Chinese medicine we focus on advising about foods that will help your organ health rather than hinder it.

Specific organs like and dislike specific foods.

Chinese Pulse Diagnosis

Reading the subtleties of blood flow at your radial wrist is the main diagnostic tool we use to understand your organ health.

It is a very old but extremely useful skill in diagnosing the cause of health problems in Chinese medicine.

You may be quite surprised about how much we can pick up when we read your pulse.

Helping Your Body Work Properly Again

Sometimes the answer to health problems is to return your body to good health so it can do its job.

Your body is a marvellous machine often capable of repairing itself – but it just can’t do it given how it’s running at the moment.

Try as any medical professional might to identify a specific problem that’s causing symptoms, it’s not always possible with what is currently known about physiology and disease.

Our view is that the ‘ultimate doctor’ is your own body with its highly sophisticated health and repair mechanisms. Sometimes what that it required is to return your organ function to normal so your body can diagnose and deal with the health problem at hand.

This is what we call correcting the root cause of health problems.  This is the focus of a lot we do.

Dr Sandra in Emperor's Acupuncture, she is very patient and willing to discuss your needs/issue. Will advise you what may be better for yourself. But not asking you to pay more for her treatment. I guess it is what you dont normally see these days any more..

I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Sandra since 2020 and acupuncture with her has had so many amazing results for me over the years. Initially I was seeing her to manage my back pain after having tried several other treatments and the results with acupuncture were absolutely amazing. Pain I’d been feeling for years went away. Last year we discussed me wanting to get pregnant which was proving difficult with my PCOS that disrupted the regularity of my cycle and ovulation and we also discussed me wanting to lose weight as I was really unhappy with my weight. I decided I’d do the weight loss program and then once I was happy with my weight I’d start the fertility program. To my surprise just as I was coming to the end of weight loss program I fell pregnant and it turned out the weight loss helped to normalize my hormone levels which resulted in a more regular cycle and ovulation. I then went straight into acupuncture for my pregnancy and I truly believe this was instrumental in me achieving a natural birth with no complications, resulting in a beautiful baby boy. I highly recommend Sandra, she is an expert in Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, and medicinal herbs. I found her to be incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about fertility, weight loss and pain management. Her expertise and compassionate care made all the difference. Thank you, Sandra!

Sandra was wonderful in helping us to fall pregnant. We had two sessions and had success and then continued through our first semester to help avoid miscarriage and with morning sickness. She’s also helped a few of my family members as well 🙂

In my experience, the results of the treatments were amazing. I started off with the weight loss program with Dr Sandra and Dr Jesse and lost 10kg. After that, I went on the fertility program. Dr Sandra helped me prepare for pregnancy and throughout my 9 months of pregnancy, helped support my pregnancy and ease my pregnancy symptoms. Now I am back for the weight loss program to lose the weight gain from childbirth. They are my trusted Acupuncturist and Chinese medicine practitioners, to help me stay in good health.

Emperors acupuncture where do I start but AMAZING I started seeing Sandra for fertility treatment as nothing was working for us for nearly 12 months so wanted to try alternative medicine and we are PREGNANT!!! Due in September 2023 not only did this acupuncture treatment help us with fertility but made my energy levels better and my cycle improved better than it’s ever been! Cannot recommend Sandra enough she is so patient and kind and nothing is ever too much or a bother I’ve taken stacks of her cards and given them to all my friends and family!

I have found Dr. Sandra an excellent acupuncturist . I had a bad left foot, damaged for many years and i heard from a friend about her so decided to give the clinic a try. So I went in every week for 2 months and I found relief from my pain straight away on the first treatment! Now I can exercise and walk properly again and even wear high heels which I couldn’t do for years! So thank you Dr. Sandra. I cant recommended you enough to all my family and friends.
