Internal Medicine
Holistic Support for Internal Health through Chinese Medicine
At Nature Heals Clinic in Kew, we take a comprehensive approach to internal medicine using the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Our focus is on restoring harmony within the body’s systems by regulating the flow of Qi (vital energy), supporting organ function, and addressing the root causes of imbalance.
The Chinese Medicine View of Internal Health
Chinese Medicine sees the body as an interconnected whole. Vital energy (Qi) circulates through the body’s meridians, nourishing the internal organs and maintaining their proper function. This energy flow is influenced by genetics, lifestyle, diet, emotions, environment, and age.
In Chinese Medicine, organ systems such as the Liver, Heart, Spleen, Lung, and Kidney are more than just physical structures. They form part of a dynamic network that governs digestion, circulation, immunity, metabolism, hormonal balance, and more. When Qi is strong and flows freely, health is maintained. When it becomes blocked or depleted, symptoms and disease may appear.
How Imbalance Develops
Imbalance may arise gradually through factors like poor diet, emotional stress, overwork, and lack of sleep. It can also result from sudden changes such as intense emotions or exposure to external pathogens (e.g. wind, damp, cold, heat). Over time, these influences can weaken the organs, disrupt Qi flow, and affect the body’s ability to function and defend itself.
As we age, our vital energy naturally declines, which can contribute to slower recovery, reduced resilience, and the emergence of chronic conditions. Chinese Medicine aims to preserve and restore this energy to support long-term health.
