Why Us?
Vision and Values
Patient safety is our highest priority.
In our commitment to evidence-based medicine, we begin by thoroughly understanding the histopathology of diseases as defined by conventional medicine. We then integrate Traditional Medicine practices using four key diagnostic methods: complexion analysis, inquiry, palpation, and auscultation. After completing syndrome differentiation, we tailor treatments based on Chinese herbal prescriptions, acupuncture, moxibustion, or other appropriate therapies. Our goal is to foster a public-private partnership in integrative medicine, ensuring you receive holistic health solutions.
Comprehensive Evidence-Based Medical Services
In addition to our Traditional Chinese Medicine services, we collaborate with Western medicine centers to offer holistic solutions that guarantee the highest quality in diagnostics, premium Chinese herbs, and efficient logistics. This approach provides comprehensive, evidence-based medical services to our corporate partners and their patients.
The Big Data Era and One Health
As we navigate the emergence of big data, standards of care, and patient safety, it is essential to adopt clinical practice guidelines from Mainland China, as well as international standards from the US, UK, Australia, and Hong Kong. Beyond Traditional Chinese Medicine practices such as herbal remedies, acupuncture, TuiNa, and moxibustion, our services focus on cancer care, women’s health, and pain management. We are committed to providing the best treatment for cancer patients and their loved ones. Our cancer care program spans early intervention to palliative care, addressing the needs of patients undergoing surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy. This comprehensive approach helps patients manage the adverse effects of conventional treatments and supports them in reclaiming their health-related quality of life.
Providing Evidence-Based Health Supplements
In addition to our professional medical services, we offer consultancy for the development of evidence-based health supplements. These supplements can play a crucial role in facilitating the rehabilitation of cancer patients.

Cupping therapy
Cupping therapy is an alternative treatment method that involves creating negative pressure by using heated “cups” to apply suction onto specific areas of the skin, causing congestion, blood stasis, or blistering. By artificially causing blood to leave the circulatory system and accumulate beneath the skin, cupping is sometimes considered a non-invasive bloodletting therapy. Cupping is used as an alternative therapy for various conditions, including fever, chronic lower back pain, poor appetite, indigestion, hypertension, acne, eczema, psoriasis, anemia, post-stroke rehabilitation, nasal congestion, infertility, and menstrual pain.

However, there is evidence of potential herb-drug interactions between Chinese herbs and chemotherapy agents or targeted therapy. It is crucial for us to cross-check with current databases for herb-drug interactions to ensure the safety of our patients.

What are the roles of Chinese medicine in cancer care?
International and mainland clinical guidelines, supported by research, have demonstrated that integrating Chinese and Western medicine at various stages can reduce drug resistance and enhance treatment efficacy, survival rates, and patients’ quality of life. In Mainland China, the process usually begins with confirming the patient’s cancer diagnosis before initiating pure Chinese medicine treatments. With the collaboration of Western medical professionals, patients can confidently use Chinese medicine and acupuncture for various types of cancer.
Beyond cancer, many patients also experience chronic conditions. We develop tailored treatment plans at different stages to meet individual needs, offering comprehensive advice for referrals to both public and private sector specialists.
