Preserving the Traditional Oriental Medicine

It has always been my belief that Western Medicine and Oriental medicine can work together. Research has confirmed that convergence and combined therapy between the different worlds of medicine will constitute a real break-through in medicine with a view to achieve the ultimate objective leading to “cure from all ailments”.

At CITY CLINIC, two major initiatives are well ahead. Firstly, the Oriental Japanese Medicine services like acupuncture, moxibustion, Shiatsu, cupping, oil massage and Thai table massage are dispensed by Dr Hiroki Kinoshita, a Japanese Professor.

Secondly, we shall welcome shortly the setting up of a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Clinic in City Clinic with the collaboration and expertise of the famous Shanghai University TCM and Yueyang Hospital of Shanghai.

Combined therapy:There are complementarities of two medical worlds. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Certain diseases that cannot be satisfactorily dealt with Western Medicine can be effectively cured by oriental medicine or vice versa.

Researchers have recently found combined therapy between the medical worlds of therapy constitutes a medical break-through – one can speak of a new way of life. Xian Traditional Chinese Medicine University has been able to identify at least 43 diseases that can be effectively managed or cured by combined therapies.
