About Dr TCM

Dr TCM is an online consultation system of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The system is designed by LinksToChina.com in consultation with TCM experts. The online doctor in charge is Dr Helen Guo who obtained her Master's degree of TCM in Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Dr Guo has more 15 years' experience in treating patients using TCM approaches including herbal medicine, acupuncture, acupressure and moxibustion.

Traditional Chinese Medicine is a system of health care that has evolved over 3,000 years. Unlike the way orthodox Western medicine looks at the human body, TCM views a our health in a holistic fashion. A human body is viewed as being made up of two opposing forces, such as that shown in the Chinese Yin-Yang symbol. When the two forces in our bodies are out of balances, we will then feel sick and symptoms will arise.

As a result, a doctor of TCM will diagnose your illnesses differently than your GP. Apart from the usual history of the illness, the doctor will also look at different parts of your body to gain more information about your internal organ and their energies. For example, a person's ears are considered a window to their kidneys.

Once an illness is diagnosed, a TCM doctor will prescribe a treatment that will focus on restoring the balance of the body's Yin-Yang. Treatments such as acupuncture, herbal medicine or exercises will be used. In addition, the TCM doctor will treat the entire person, including both the physical and the mental aspect to cure the illness.

As Dr TCM is an online consultation system, we are not able to see patients in person except special arrangements. To compensate this, we will try to make full use of the Internet including online chat to gather from patients information as comprehensive as possible. If you have a symptom and would like to try Dr TCM, we would like you to co-operate by giving full details as required on an online consultation form so that we can make an informed decision on what to suggest.
