TCM has distinct advantages in treating gynecological disorders. Taking into consideration of both disease and syndrome differential diagnosis, TCM practitioner tailors treatment to the individual patient, and focuses on improving one’s constitution. We are also attentive to disease characteristics and individual’s health status during menstruation, in order to provide direct and effective solutions to women with gynecological conditions.
Integration of Chinese and Western medicine— utilization of modern diagnostic tools and treatments, and TCM treatment protocol—improves therapeutic efficacy in many cases, including uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, chronic pelvic inflammation, and infertility, etc. We focus on a series of gynecological conditions, as well as wellness care for women.
Chinese herbal medicine is still the main treatment method for many diseases. Physician prescribes formula according to child’s illness and constitution. Sometimes, formula is flavored with honey to reduce bitterness. Medicinal powder used by Ma Kuang is appraised and approved by Health Science Authority (HSA) to ensure quality. There are also safety regulations regarding toxic substances, heavy metals, and microbial contents in medicinal powder to give you the peace of mind you deserve.
TuiNa can stimulate a child’s immunity and, in turn, achieve great results. Physiology, pathology and acupoints specific to pediatric patients dictate gentler manual techniques and atypical therapeutic frequency and duration. TuiNa can also be applied to infant who cannot tolerate Chinese herbal medicine yet. Pediatric TuiNa can treat many conditions, such as diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, influenza, asthma, bronchial pneumonia etc.
Place Chinese herbal medicine on specific acupoint to achieve therapeutic effects.
Acupuncture can be done on children. Parent should help to secure the child’s limbs in desirable positions. Thinner and shorter acupuncture needles are used for kids. Physician will also ensure brisk insertion and removal of needles to reduce discomfort.
TCM Orthopedics can treat dermal, musculoskeletal, vascular, visceral and meridional injuries caused by external forces, such as slip and fall, sport injury, etc. The conditions can be divided in two main categories—acute and chronic injuries.
TCM physicians handle various acute injuries according to each specific situation. If a patient comes in with a swollen and inflamed ankle from an ankle sprain, it would not be appropriate to massage or manipulate the joint. The physician will first ice and compress the joint, and then treat the adjacent soft tissues with TuiNa or acupuncture. Soft tissue relaxation and increased circulation can speed up recovery process.
For chronic and overuse injuries, TCM physicians commonly use acupuncture, TuiNa and Chinese herbal medicine to improve blood circulation, remove fluid stasis and relieve pain. In case of atrophy and peripheral weakness, Chinese herbal medicine is often prescribed to nourish Qi (vital energy), blood, and vital organs such as liver and kidneys. These integrative therapies help body restore its function.

The advantage of choosing TCM for weight management is personalized care plan. The treatments allow the body to restore homeostasis, metabolize excessive fat, remove edema, and restore health. It can be done by acupuncture, TuiNa, herbal medicine, or ear acupuncture.
TCM treatment protocol factors in individual’s emotional health, endocrine function and age to formulate differential diagnosis and treatment plan. Obesity is categorized into 4 types in TCM:
- Due to overeating
- Related to postpartum edema (swelling)
- Stress related
- Age related
Weight loss program, diet and lifestyle are recommended according to the categorization.
- Healthy weight loss: The main goal is to improve your health. Healthy body facilitates natural weight loss.
- Resolve other health issues simultaneously: TCM is personalized medicine. While facilitating weight loss, it can also cater to your other medical and wellness needs.
- Normal food intake: Appetite can be suppressed by stimulating certain acupoints. No painful dieting is necessary.
- Free of side effect: There is no discomfort caused by drugs, such as dry mouth, palpitations, dizziness, bloating, diarrhea, or anorexia, etc.
- Unlikely to regain weight: Clinical observation confirms that those who lose weight using TCM protocol are less likely to regain their weights
Weight loss is achieved by stimulating specific acupoint to modulate the meridian system, which, in turn, suppresses appetite. In this way, patient feels satiated with less food. The meridian system also regulates metabolism and promotes calorie burning to remove excessive fat and edema. In addition, acupuncture can normalize visceral function and unblock meridian in various parts of the body, as a result it is effective in localized weight loss.
Besides weight loss, World Health Organization (WHO) also recognized acupuncture’s therapeutic effects for 63 widely varying conditions, including pain syndromes, stroke, hypertension and rheumatic diseases. Its therapeutic effects are achieved by stimulating specific acupoints with acupuncture needles.
You can receive TuiNa in conjunction of acupuncture for weight loss. TuiNa combines massage, trigger point, and other manual techniques to stimulate acupoints, meridian, muscles and/or nerves, in order to unblock the flow of Qi (vital energy), improve circulation, regulate visceral function and boost immune system. TuiNa for weight loss common focuses on the abdominal region to improve circulation and eliminate toxins.
On top of the above-mentioned therapies, Chinese herbal medicine can modulate many body functions and create a solid foundation for other weight loss programs. It is very effective and appropriate for secondary obesity caused by other underlying conditions. Each Chinese herbal prescription is customized for the individual to address the cause of obesity.

Dieting may cause malnutrition, weakness, hair loss, and low milk supply, and indirectly affect the baby’s health.
It is advised that mom consumes sufficient (but not excessive) quality calories while losing weight during this period. Foods with dense nutrient contents and low calories are recommended, including dark leafy vegetables, lean meat and fish. Good nutrition for mom is needed to produce quality milk. It is appropriate to nourish the digestive system and eliminate edema with herbal medicine. Localized acupuncture and TuiNa around the abdomen, arms and legs are also appropriate.

Throughout the years, Ma Kuang has earned an undeniable reputation of effective pain management. The TCM protocols we adopt are as follow:
- Chinese herbal medicine: Prescribed according to patient’s natural constitution. Many herbs with Qi-mobilizing property are also analgesics, such as Corydalis (YanHuSuo), Salvia miltiorrhiza (DanShen) and Panax pseudoginseng (ChuanQi), as well as formulas like DangGuiNianTongTang, ShuJingHuoXueTang, DuHuoJiShengTang.
- Acupuncture: acupuncture needle can reach deeply to the core of pain, and stimulate the brain to release endorphins that alleviate pain. Using a combination of local and distant acupoints can provide effective pain relief. In case of low back pain, physician may place needle at the site of pain and at Wei Zhong acupoint in popliteal space (behind the knee).
- TuiNa: It is effective for pain relief to some extent. It’s another way to manually stimulate trigger points to relax spastic muscle. Sometimes grade V joint mobilization is performed for joint alignment and improved range of motion.
- Herbal topical analgesics: Herbal topical analgesics are appropriate for both acute and chronic pain. Select hypoallergenic bandage for sensitive skin.
Suboptimal health refers to a grey health status between health and disease. It is a step away from actual illness. It commonly presents as eye strain, back pain, fatigue, malaise, indigestion, cold limbs, insomnia, dizziness, headache, depression and anxiety. Early intervention can reduce the risk of many chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes.
Infancy and puberty are usually the two growth periods that concern parents the most. Puberty is especially concerning as it is the last chance of growth. It is misleading to deem Panax notoginseng (TianQi) as a generalized supplement for teenagers. Good practice of TCM suggests that supplementation should always be customized. Please consult your physician for advice on growth stimulating formula.
In addition, herbal medicine can promote growth through improving appetite, strengthening bones and muscles, facilitating healing and strengthening endocrine system.
Postpartum care is referred to as “ZuoYue” in traditional Chinese, which literally stands for “sit for a month”, meaning to rest for a period of time after childbirth. Good postpartum care can strengthen woman’s constitution. Generally speaking, postpartum mothers are more prone to illness. Some chronic conditions, such as migraine, backache, allergy and malaise, may reoccur during this period.
TCM believes that labor is an exhausting process that consumes the mother’s vital energy. Blood and Qi (vital energy) are lost during the process. Mothers are advised to consume nutritious food and herbal medicine to replenish the lost energy and speed up wound healing to a few short weeks.
Postpartum care is effective in restoring energy, repairing uterus and improving milk quality. It is the solution to common postpartum symptoms, including lochiorrhea, low milk supply, weight gain, hair loss and joint pain.
