Integrative Chinese medicine approach
In the clinic, Fraser Cobham frequently treats patients experiencing stress, anxiety, and insomnia through a holistic and integrative approach. Treatments combine the wisdom of Classical Chinese Medicine (CCM) with evidence-based research to provide patient-centred care. Acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and dietary and lifestyle recommendations form the foundation of this approach.
Each treatment is tailored to your specific needs, with the aim of supporting balance and a greater sense of calm in daily life. This integrative approach also allows collaboration with other healthcare providers, such as counsellors and psychotherapists, helping ensure a comprehensive and supportive plan for mental health and overall wellbeing.
Ear acupuncture:
Auricular acupuncture, also known as “ear acupuncture,” is frequently used in the clinic to treat patients experiencing mental-emotional symptoms. In Chinese Medicine, the ear is seen as a microcosm of the entire body, containing over 100 points which are believed to image the various organs and areas of the body. After a thorough assessment, specific points on the ear can be gently stimulated, using small, painless, non-penetrating ear seeds.
Key points, such as Ear Shen Men (Spirit Gate), Point Zero, Master Cerebral Point, and the Heart Point, are commonly selected to support patients through symptoms such as insomnia, stress, and anxiety. The NADA protocol, a widely recognised auricular acupuncture protocol designed to assist in addiction recovery and ease withdrawal symptoms, is another common approach used in the clinic.
