Step by step

How your visit works

  1. Step 1

    Before you come

    Call or WhatsApp the clinic to arrange a convenient time and ask any questions you have.

  2. Step 2

    Consultation

    We talk about your health, your concerns and any treatment or medicines you are taking.

  3. Step 3

    Pulse assessment

    The practitioner reads your pulse carefully to guide the treatment.

  4. Step 4

    Treatment

    Treatment is given — usually with a single sterile needle.

  5. Step 5

    Next steps

    We discuss how you feel and whether further visits may help.

It helps to bring

  • A list of the medicines you take, including any supplements
  • Recent medical reports or prescriptions, if you have them
  • Loose, comfortable clothing

It is a good idea to eat a light meal beforehand rather than coming on an empty stomach.
