“Experts at curing diseases are inferior to specialists who warn against diseases. Experts in the use of medicines are inferior to those who recommend proper diet.”
Zhi Chen, 11th century
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been part of the primary healthcare system in China for over 4,000 years and it is actively used in the UK as well as in East Asia, America and Europe. TCM is a sophisticated and powerful medical system that has evolved over this time period.
It combines a detailed and holistic approach to diagnosis with a broad spectrum of therapeutic interventions. These include herbal medicine, acupuncture, massage & manipulation (Tuina) and lifestyle advice to treat disease and to restore and maintain good health and wellbeing.
Written records of this medical system stretch back over 2,000 years but its practices are even older and are likely to originate in the early stages of human development. TCM has been refined over centuries of clinical practice and, more recently, it has been tested and validated by increasingly rigorous in vitro and in vivo research. In China it is commonly used in over 3,000 hospitals and investigated by over one hundred research institutes. Over the past 50 years, TCM has become established in the West and is widely practised in Europe, the US and Australia.
The combination of traditional knowledge, and its application and scrutiny in a modern care setting, is one of the great strengths of this system of medicine.
Over 400 plants are used in Chinese herbal medicine and although these include commonly known herbs such as cinnamon, ginger, mint and goji berry, many others are prescribed that are less well known in the UK.

Success Stories
Marie Thompson
I came to Jenny for herbs as I had developed a skin reaction to Omeprazole, a medicine I took for acid reflux for about a year.
My skin started breaking out in itchy boils which stopped me sleeping. My GP told me there was nothing he could do!
When I first saw Jenny I was in a terrible state and she was very kind, understanding and patient with me. She prescribed me some very strong herbs which I had to boil in a saucepan. I took these for 3 days. They DID NOT taste good but by the end of the 3 days the itching had stopped and there were no new boils forming. She also made me a cream to help with the itch and moisturise the dryness where I had been scratching.
After the initial 3 days the prescription changed to ground herbs which I made into a tea. This was much easier to take. Over about 4-5 weeks, the rash went down completely. Jenny then put me on to a maintenance dose of ground herbs which I put into capsule form - about 6 per day which I took for a further month.
6 months on and my skin is fine - I don't even have any dryness from all the scatching.
We are now working on the acid reflux which started all this off in the first place!
I would recommend Chinese herbs to anyone even if they haven't done it before. Jenny is kind and will explain it all thoroughly. Thank you Jenny so much.

After an accident I was left with some internal injuries, exhaustion, depression and insomnia.
Seeing Jenny was a last resort as I had tried everything Western medicine could give.
Jenny started me off on her herbal tea prescriptions - firstly for sleep. These worked brilliantly but I wasn't tired in the morning and gradually found my energy returning.
We also did acupuncture and massage twice a month which helped with my internal injuries.
I can only say that this woman has some sort of strange magic working for her - Chinese or not! I am like a new person.
I wouldn't go anywhere else now for a common cold to anything more serious. I totally recommend Chinese medicine and Jenny in particular.
