Is Chinese Medicine safe to use alongside my current medications or treatments?
Absolutely! One of the beautiful things about Chinese Medicine is that it works in harmony with other treatments and medications, rather than competing with them. In fact, many of my clients use Chinese Medicine alongside their current health regimen for enhanced results and a more holistic approach to healing.
Here’s how it typically works:
I’m all about collaboration: I’ll work with you and your healthcare team to ensure that your treatment plan is tailored to your unique needs. Whether you’re seeing your GP, a specialist, or undergoing other therapies, Chinese Medicine can complement your existing plan, providing a natural boost and helping to address any gaps in your care.
If you're taking medications: Chinese Medicine is generally safe to combine with medications, but it’s always important to let your practitioner know about anything you’re currently taking, so we can create a treatment strategy that supports your overall health. For example, if you're on medication for a chronic condition like hypertension or diabetes, Chinese Medicine can help support your body's balance and possibly reduce reliance on medications over time — but only under the guidance of both your doctor and your Chinese Medicine practitioner.
If you're undergoing other therapies: Whether you're seeing a physiotherapist for pain, a dermatologist for your skin, or a counsellor for emotional support, Chinese Medicine can be a great complement. I often see clients who pair acupuncture with physical therapy for faster recovery or combine it with cosmetic treatments for more radiant results.
Let’s work together: It's important to remember that Chinese Medicine is holistic and individualized. My aim is to treat the root cause of imbalances in your body, so even if you're managing a condition with other treatments, acupuncture and herbal remedies can support you in feeling better all around.
If you're ever unsure or have concerns about how Chinese Medicine might fit with your current treatment plan, I’m always happy to discuss it with you in detail. The goal is always to enhance your health and well-being, no matter where you’re starting from.
