Bloomsbury Chinese Medicine clinic features a comfortable and elegant interior design and is equipped with professional, modern medical facilities, providing patients with a convenient and excellent treatment environment.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatments typically use Chinese herbal medicine, often combined with acupuncture or cupping to achieve optimal results. Depending on individual needs, herbal formulas are prescribed to regulate the body; acupuncture is performed on specific acupoints to balance the flow of Qi and blood; and cupping utilizes negative pressure to create suction on the skin, helping to expel dampness and toxins from the body. Our registered TCM practitioners skillfully integrate these three main techniques, complementing each other to promote overall health.
Menopause
TCM regards menopause as a normal physiological stage. However, due to individual differences in constitution, as well as the impact of work stress and changes in living environment, imbalances of Yin and Yang may occur, leading to various discomforts. Although each woman’s symptoms may differ, TCM emphasizes holistic treatment, tailoring the use of herbal medicine and acupuncture to each person’s actual condition, to regulate Qi and blood, nourish the kidneys, and strengthen the liver, thereby alleviating various discomforts.
Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)
A woman visited the TCM clinic originally for menopausal syndrome management. During consultation, she mentioned a recurrence of frozen shoulder, experiencing difficulty and pain when moving her arm backward or outward for two months. She could not lift heavy objects, had trouble putting on a bra, and often woke up at night due to pain, severely affecting her quality of life.
TCM treats frozen shoulder adhesive capsulitis primarily by tonifying Qi and blood, nourishing the liver and kidneys, warming the meridians, and dispelling wind and dampness to relieve pain. Acupuncture is particularly effective for severe pain, as it relaxes the muscles, unblocks the channels, and alleviates stasis and pain. Massage and localized heat therapy can also help relieve pain, break up adhesions, and restore joint function.
Insomnia
According to a 2020 study by the Chinese University of Hong Kong, nearly 70% of Hong Kong’s population suffers from insomnia, and most people have limited understanding of sleep and insomnia, sometimes not even realizing they have a problem, which impacts their quality of life. The advantage of TCM in treating insomnia is that it does not lead to dependence on medication. With the right treatment, restoring sufficient Qi and blood or eliminating pathogenic factors, and harmonizing Yin and Yang, patients can naturally regain restful sleep.
Gastric Intestinal Metaplasia
TCM practitioners will determine Gastric Intestinal Metaplasia treatment direction based on the patient's condition, including methods to "resolve dampness," "soothe the emotions and regulate qi," "clear heat and detoxify," and "invigorate blood and resolve stasis." Herbal remedies like white atractylodes, astragalus root, Chinese Goldthread, and mongolian dandelion are effective in enhancing gastrointestinal function, suppressing inflammation, and preventing carcinogenesis. Acupuncture at points such as Neiguan, Zhongwan, and Zusanli can assist in management.

嘉和中醫診所位於中環核心地段的泛海大廈醫務樓層內，舒適雅致的裝修風格，配備專業的現代化醫療設備，為病人提供便捷卓越的治療環境。
中醫治療通常採用中草藥，並且配合針灸或拔罐以達致最佳的效用。根據個體需求，通過中草藥配方來調理身體；透過在特定穴位施針，以調節身體的氣血；利用負壓原理，在皮膚上形成吸附，幫助排出體內的濕氣和毒素。我們的註冊中醫，適當地運用這三種主要技術，相輔相成，共同促進身體的整體健康。
更年期
中醫視更年期為正常嘅生理階段，但由於個體體質存有差異，加上工作壓力和生活環境變化等因素影響，可能導致陰陽失調，進而引發各種身體不適。儘管每位女性嘅症狀都唔一樣，但中醫強調全人治療，可以依據每個人嘅實際情況，採用中藥和針灸等方法嚟調理氣血、養腎強肝，從而改善各類不適症狀。
肩周炎
一位女士來到中醫診所，原本是要調理更年期綜合症。問診期間提到肩周炎又復發，手臂後屈或外伸時感困難疼痛，已持續2個月，不能提取重物，穿戴胸圍也有困難，晚上睡覺更常常痛醒，嚴重影響生活質素。這位52歲女士，之前也曾患過肩周炎數次，做過物理治療及有跟私人教練做拉筋運動， 疼痛稍為減輕但沒有完全康復就不了了之，今次復發決定試用中醫治療肩周炎。
失眠
根據2020年中文大學進行的研究報告，香港有接近7成人口有失眠問題，而大部分市民對睡眠和失眠認識都不深，甚至不知道自己已經有失眠問題，影響生活質素。中醫治療失眠的優勢，在於不會構成對藥物的依賴性，只要對症下藥，讓病人氣血回復充足，或袪除病邪，陰陽調和，自然可以睡個好覺。
腸上皮化生
中醫認為腸化生與脾胃功能失調密切相關，屬於「胃痞」、「胃痛」、「噯氣」等範疇，成因多與外感邪氣、飲食不節、情志失調、脾虛等有關。中醫治療腸化生方向包括：健脾、化濕、疏肝理氣、清熱解毒及活血化瘀等。中藥材如炒白朮、黃芪、黃連、蒲公英等有效提升胃腸功能、抑制炎症，並有助預防癌變，配合針灸內關、中脘、足三里等穴位可輔助調理。
