Why Us?
Vision and Values
We are PRO. We provide professional Chinese medicine and integrative health services
Apart from utilizing the four diagnostic methods in Chinese medicine, patients often come to us after seeking conventional diagnoses and treatments. We provide evidence-based treatments derived from clinical trials, best practices, and patient values. Patient safety is paramount, and our treatments are guided by observable reports, such as histopathology, imaging, blood reports, or medication lists. We humbly learn from the latest clinical guidelines, incorporating international, regional, and local guidelines to enhance our services.
Missions
We offer corporate solutions for seamless integration of clinical medical records, knowledge exchange, patient-centered care, high-quality control of Chinese herbal medicine, and efficient patient logistics.

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.
Acupuncture
Fine needle insertion technique is one of the commonly used acupuncture techniques. Fine needles have a thin and flexible body, and the physician uses specific finger strength and techniques to perform various manipulations after needle insertion, such as lifting, thrusting, twisting, vibrating, and scraping.
