Own grown organic herbs for clinic!

My gardening skills and ideas are developing. Just recently a friend of mine, who is a keen organic gardener, showed me some of the herbs he was growing.
I jumped out of my chair in excitement when he told me he had a goji berry plant. I rushed over to have a look at it. The idea of growing some Chinese herbs in Sydney is very possible and below is a picture.


Goji plant.

Also growing very productively was a mugwart plant. Or in Chinese herb terms the much treasured moxa herb for moxibustion. (Ai Ye).

 Moxa Herb:

Mugwort is such a mysterious, beautiful and exciting herb, steeped in western and eastern folklore! I am very excited to have it growing close by to clinic. I intend to pick it, dry it and use it for moxa in clinic to help patients. It really is a very beautiful natural loop to grow local, have local access and treat local. I can't wait to introduce it to patients and see the look on their faces when they discover also that it is from just around the corner :)

Acupuncture at 77 Bondi Road Medical Centre

Acupuncture at 77 Bondi Road Medical Centre.

On Wednesdays all day I am available for acupuncture treatments at 77 Bondi Road Medical Centre.

This is a great privilege for me to be treating side by side with western medical doctors and I am really happy to be able to do so.

In the waiting room the main doctor who runs the practice has a sign on the wall. " Be the change you want to see in the world". I immediately knew I would be comfortable working in such a place.

So if you are in Bondi, need acupuncture and like the idea of a combined western and eastern treatment, the possibility is a very real and very down to earth reality.

Patient Updates

The concierge of a famous Bondi hotel called me. They had a guest who needed a massage: my next patient.

I had just finished an all day task when I got the call and I had one hour to head across Sydney before the appointment.  Fortunately the hotel is a short walk from the clinic in Bondi Beach, so I booked the patient in there and had everything ready.

I met the patient. A tall, athletic African American. We chatted and he was a sports coach for a family that live in America that had flown him over to Sydney while on their holidays!

This was probably the toughest patient I had met. He had muscle on his back that was like rope either sides of his spine. Thick upper body trapezius muscles. Toughest of all he had the most amazingly defined latissimus dorsi muscles from his particular expert field of tennis. They where like girders sticking out on the Empire States building!

He had muscle aches and pains and also wanted a very strong massage and his calf muscles squeezed out.

Calf muscles are usually sensitive. I used elbow, all my body weight and my muscle pressure which only seemed to mildly effect him here!

I decided to introduce him to glass cupping technique. I love this simple and powerful technique. Using fire to create a vacuum in a glass cup that sucks the flesh up and squeezes out all the muscles! Even at uni clinic I had a preference for this technique and today I discovered something I loved in Chinese medicine. His desire for a strong massage and the power of this technique were perfect. I did many different variations of this technique on his back which totally satisfied his muscle issue.

It was a real buzz to meet a talented person, from the other side of the world and make a difference. I’m going to try cupping technique on his calf muscles, something I would rarely do on any other patient, on his next booking.

Bondi Chinese Medicine Centre website

What a hot day here in Sydney today. Looks as though it might storm this evening though.

I have been busy today working on a nice website for the clinic. I decided to use a flash player based design for some big pictures to show off Bondi.

Here's a link to the site and tell me what you think!
