Traditional Chinese Medicine is one of the oldest and most complete systems of natural healthcare in the world, developed and refined over thousands of years. Rather than a single technique, it is a family of therapies that work together to support the body's balance and wellbeing. At Yuan Qi Acupuncture Center in Business Bay, our DHA and MOH licensed practitioners, led by Dr. Jun Huang, offer a full range of these therapies, often combining them in one treatment plan to suit the individual.
At the heart of Traditional Chinese Medicine is the idea that good health depends on the smooth flow of the body's vital energy, or Qi, and on balance within the body. When that flow is disrupted, symptoms and discomfort can follow. The different TCM therapies, from acupuncture to cupping, gua sha, moxibustion, Tui Na and electro-acupuncture, are different ways of supporting that balance, easing symptoms and helping you feel more like yourself, always alongside your medical care.

Each Traditional Chinese Medicine therapy has its own strengths, and one of the advantages of our clinic is that they can be combined in a single treatment plan after a proper assessment. Acupuncture uses fine needles at specific points; cupping uses gentle suction to release tension; gua sha uses smooth, guided strokes on the skin; moxibustion adds gentle warmth; Tui Na is a focused therapeutic massage; and electro-acupuncture adds a gentle electrical current to the needles. Used together, they offer a flexible, whole-body approach to easing symptoms and supporting wellbeing.
Which therapies are right for you depends entirely on your situation, which is why every plan starts with an assessment. For one person, acupuncture with a little cupping may suit best; for another, Tui Na and moxibustion. We explain what we recommend and why, and we keep everything gentle, supportive and tailored to you, working alongside any medical care you are having.
We offer the full range of TCM therapies, each on its own dedicated page where you will find more detail on what it is and how it can help. Choose a therapy to learn more, or get in touch and we will recommend the most suitable approach for you.
