Another decoction machine I found at the "Traditional Chinese Medicine Australia" clinic

Here I am with one of the practitioners there :)

Packaging system at the base for cooked herbs

I found this decoction machine in 2009 when I was observing at the "Traditional Chinese Medicine Australia" clinic in Bondi Junction. I have realised know it's a bit more advanced than the most recent one I found. It has a packaging system at the base of it as well as two pressure cooking devices on the top.

2nd Fire Needle Treatment for Back Pain

Noam came back! He got a second treatment for back pain, two weeks later, using fire needle. We used a thicker needle this time for a stronger treatment. This is the consultation video. Treatment and explanation videos coming up. Also we did a blood letting treatment on the same day! Stay tuned to understand and find out more about the less widely used blood letting therapy!
Thank you Noam and Weihong Li for letting me video :)

Packing and wrapping herbs in the Herbal clinic

Here you can see a months worth of herbs being wrapped up. Takes a little while! This particular patient comes in on the last appointment one Friday a month! We are always scrambling to get it done by that time :P

As you can see we always do a great job though :)

Special Herbs ;)

This is Cannabis Semen or better known as Cannabis Seed..!
Here Michael models the ingredients. Great work
It's major indication is to moisten the large intestines: for constipation, especially in the elderly.

Herb cooking machine!

I found this great device recently. It's a hospital grade China import herb decoction machine. I instantly fell in love..! It has a "Wizard of Oz" feel to it from the end of the movie when the wizard is using a panel turning handles and clouds of smoke billow out of the floor etc. What this machine does is boil, under pressure, all your herbs in one go and then there is another machine connected to it that puts the cooked decoction into small packets for handy daily use for the patient. Precooked herbs: no smell, no hassle and easy administration of herbs=wonderous!
