- Moxibustion (Chinese: 灸; pinyin: jiǔ) is consists of burning dried mugwort (moxa) on particular points on the body. It plays an important role in the traditional medical systems of China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, and Mongolia.
- Practitioners use moxa to warm regions and meridian points with the intention of stimulating circulation through the points and inducing a smoother flow of blood and qi. It can treat conditions associated with the "cold" or "yang deficiencies". Moxibustion mitigates against cold and dampness in the body, and can serve to turn breech babies.
- There are several methods of moxibustion. Three of them are direct scarring, direct non-scarring, and indirect moxibustion. In our clinic, we adopt Chinese traditional moxibustion and Japanese Okyu Thread Moxa to achieve the above effects.

- The Bian Stone (Chinese: 砭石) therapy is called the first of six Chinese medicines (Bian, acupuncture, moxibustion, medicine, massage, Daoyin or conduction exercise), also known as "mother of acupuncture."
- Bian Stone therapy is suitable for a wide range of diseases and has a good therapeutic effect on pain, chronic diseases, and endocrine disorders.
- Gua sha (Chinese: 刮痧) is a traditional Chinese medical treatment in which the skin is scraped to produce light petechiae. Gua sha releases unhealthy bodily matter from blood stasis within sore, tired, stiff or injured muscle areas to stimulate new oxygenated blood flow to the areas, thus promoting metabolic cell repair, regeneration, healing and recovery. Gua sha is sometimes referred to as "scraping", "spooning" or "coining" in English. The treatment has also been called the descriptive French name, tribo-effleurage.

The Complex of Pregnancy and Live Birth
Pregnancy leading to the birth of new life is a very complicated process, look at this and you will see how complicated the simple process of ovulation can be. Ovulation procedure
Increase in infertility rate (1/6 couples)
At the same time, the occurrence of infertility is caused by a variety of complex social living habits and other factors.
Many women who wish to have a successful pregnancy may have heard the older generation say that pregnancy and childbirth are not as difficult as it is now. Indeed, with the development of society, the pollution of the environment, the acceleration of the pace of life and the increase in the pressure, especially working females, women have to bear a lot of work pressure in addition to their families, which explains part of the incidence of infertility The reason why it increases with the development of society.
Special Interests in Male & Female Health
The TCM physicians in this clinic have special interests & experience about infertility and hope to combine years of experience to work together for anyone wish to try Oriental therapies to fulfill their dreams.
With your patience, you have a high success rate - Haste makes waste.
Women who have been diagnosed with infertility are generally very anxious to hope getting success quickly. It should be noted that it takes a process for the egg to mature and develop, ovulate, fertilise, and until the fertilised egg is successfully and firmly rooted in the endometrium.
Some think that IVF may be faster, but clinical data show that in fact, the success rate of IVF is around 30% in average. From IVF Australia website, you will see this
"The success rates range from a live birth rate of 38.9% per embryo transfer for patients under 34 years, to a live birth rate of 5.6% per embryo transfer for patients over 43 years" [1]
Traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture can greatly increase the success rate of natural conception and IVF [2] [3], by assisting the egg quality support [4].
Generally speaking, women who want to successfully conceive a healthy child but have infertility problems need close attention and treatment for at least three menstrual cycles. Haste makes waste.
Husband and wife are treated together is helpful
This is easy to understand. The eggs come from the wife, and the husband provides the sperm. If both the sperm and eggs are of good quality, the quality of the fertilised eggs will be good, the success rate is higher, and the newborn are healthy.
Suggestion for lifestyle
As mentioned above, the increasing infertility rate is caused by complex social and lifestyle reasons. Suggestions on different aspects of your lifestyle will be provided to increase the chance of a "good" pregnancy.

A rigorous scientific attitude towards toxic and side effect of natural herbs
- An oriental proverb has pointed out "One-third of a drug is toxicity". That is true for not only many Western conventional medicines but also for Herbal supplements. Even if the label says “natural” it may not be OK for you. For instance, some people take a herb called kava kava for menopause symptoms or to help them relax. But studies show that it may lead to hepatitis and liver failure [1]. Some countries have banned or restricted the herb, but it’s still available in Australia.
- Please remember: Any Herbal product is suggested when the nature of your body is imbalanced, just like a Conventional Medicine should be used when you are are sick. Another Old Proverb from an ancient classic says, “Weapons are lethal tools, the sage has no alternative but to resort to arms (When there is a disorder)”[2]. As a practitioner with both Western Conventional Medicine and Oriental Chinese Medicine background, Dr George Zhang always keeps a close eye monitoring the most recent and advanced studies on toxic and side effects of both Western Medicine and Oriental Natural Medicine. He aims for maximising the therapeutic effects with Botanical herbs while minimising the adverse effects of such substances. In the initial visit and during your following up treatments, you should always keep him with updated information regarding any medications (conventional medicine or herbal supplement) you have taken before or are taking currently.
