Internal Medicine in Chinese Medicine
CMHHK offers a comprehensive range of specialised Chinese medicine services that deliver targeted treatments for specific medical conditions. Focusing on key disease areas where Chinese Medicine has distinct advantages, this strategic approach enhances treatment effectiveness and addresses unique health challenges, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
Internal medicine serves as the cornerstone of holistic diagnosis and treatment in Chinese medicine, providing the foundational principles for all other clinical specialties in the field. It is guided by essential concepts such as yin-yang balance, the five elements, zang-fu organs, meridians, qi, blood, and body fluids.
By adopting pattern identification (syndrome differentiation) as its core methodology, Internal Medicine in Chinese medicine emphasises highly individualised treatments that primarily rely on internal herbal prescriptions, often complemented by additional therapeutic modalities. This specialised Chinese medicine service focuses on diagnosing and managing a wide range of conditions arising from both external pathogenic factors and internal imbalances.
