It pleases us to know that our patients are happy with the care and treatment they receive and are happy and confident to refer those that are important to them, such as friends and family. TCM comprises mainly acupuncture and herbal medicine. We believe that Chinese Herbal Medicine and Acupuncture are important and valuable aids to the health and well-being of people throughout the world. We are really proud that in the year 2015, Chinese Scientist Tu Youyou was awarded half of the Nobel Prize in Medicine for her discovery of Artemisinin or Qinghaosu (pronounced:Ching-hao-su).Treatments containing an artemisinin derivative (artemisinin-combination therapies, ACTs) are now standard treatment worldwide for P. falciparumВ malaria. Artemisinin is isolated from the plant Artemisia annua,(Chinese Name:Qinghao, pronounced:Ching-hao-su)a herb employed in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The medicinal value of this plant has been known to the Chinese for at least 2,000 years. In 1596, Li Shizhen recommended tea made from qinghao specifically to treat malaria symptoms in his "Compendium of Materia Medica".
