The first known mention of the ancient Chinese practice of cupping is in The Handbook of Prescriptions, an early fourth-century text written by the herbalist Ge Hong.
It appears to have become particularly popular during the Qing and Tang dynasties with herbalist manuals from this era describing the practice in great detail and noting especially the beneficial effects of what translates as fire jar qi for alleviating headaches, abdominal pain and dizziness.

There are many conveniences in today's modern world but without a doubt, environmental pollution and everyday stress as a result of the fast pace of living takes its toll on the health of our minds and bodies. In addition, food preservatives and other chemical additives and toxins in our water compound the issue and negatively impact our well being and appearance.
Massage in all its various forms is an excellent, non-invasive, gentle therapy that aids relaxation, alleviates mental stress and can help to relieve the everyday discomfort of overworked muscles, strained joints and ligaments and different types of chronic aches and pains. If massage therapy starts soon after injury it can also help limit scar tissue and prevent other muscles from overcompensating for the trauma-affected joint.

I am very thankful to be Emily’s patient. She is very caring and knowledgable.
Few months ago, I came to the The Best of Chinese Medicine due to my fertility issues.I have noticed period cycles got stable ( it was all over place before) and my well-being has been improved both physical and mentally thanks to Emily. Our fertility journey is still long but I got a lot of hope and positivity as I know Emily would always be a great help and supporter!

Emily is amazing, I couldn’t ask for a more caring, sweet and understanding person to help me with my condition :) Emily has been doing acupuncture for my endometriosis for some time now and I just had my first month flare up free in 14 years. If you have chronic illness and are looking for someone who will truly care and help you with your health needs she’s truly the best. Thank you Emily for all your amazing work <3

I have been seeing Alice for a few months to help me with digestive issues and circulation. Within a week of my initial treatment I noticed an improvement in my digestive system. Within a month there was a notable improvement of my circulation as well. She has also helped me in restoring areas of hair loss on my scalp.
I would highly recommend, Alice. She is knowledgeable in her craft and her demeanor is sweet and kind. She has made my first experience of acupuncture enjoyable. Thanks, Alice!

I can’t recommend Emily enough. She is truly magical. I have been suffering from pretty massive dizziness and headache from cervical issues since January this year. I went to physiotherapist and chiropractor all this time but nothing worked much. I read good reviews about Emily so came here to see if acupuncture might help me. To my surprise in just 2 sessions I have recovered 95%. She is treating me for other issues too and I am sure I will see results there too. Highly recommend this place and Emily. She is really knowledgeable, listens to the issues attentively and is very kind.

So glad I came across this clinic to help me with my nerve pain. Emily is attentive, kind, knowledgeable and has a gentle method with acupuncture. She is a very calming and healing person. This clinic is quite far for me to commute to, but it was worth it as it provided me much needed pain relief. Highly recommend this place...and Emily!

My husband and I have been going to the Best of Chinese medicine for acupuncture treatment for several months now. We’ve been seeing Emily and she has been wonderful! She’s very professional, patient, kind, and takes a gentle approach. I always feel comfortable with her recommendations. She’s also highly knowledgeable, approachable, and is always available to answer any of my questions! I highly recommend booking with Emily if you are considering this clinic. The clinic is also extremely clean and has a very calming atmosphere.
