Herbal medicine and hands-on care

Ben has incorporated herbal medicine into his practice since 2020, with an interest in classical formulas associated with the Shang Han Lun tradition. His Chinese medicine education and further study in China inform this work.

Since 2020, he and his team have also provided Chinese medicine support for people affected by COVID-19 and persistent symptoms after infection. This experience has involved concerns such as cough, fatigue, sleep difficulties and trouble concentrating.

His herbal consultations also cover digestive concerns, including stomach discomfort. Patients can discuss how symptoms change, their eating habits, previous investigations and care, and their current medicines and supplements. The aim is to discuss an individual approach alongside appropriate medical assessment and treatment.

His massage therapy education provides a further perspective on muscle tension, comfort and hands-on work. When arranging a visit, explain whether your main interest is acupuncture, medical massage or Chinese herbal medicine so the office can book the appropriate service.

Languages and patient communication

Ben speaks English, Mandarin Chinese and Cantonese. Clear communication is important when describing symptoms, previous care and the changes that matter most to you, particularly when more than one concern is involved.

Ben takes time to discuss each person’s situation. You can explain what has changed, what you have already tried and which daily activities or health goals you would most like to address.
