Chronic problems require once or twice a week treatment for 2 weeks to 1 month to act as the initiator. Monthly or biweekly treatment would be recommended as followups.

Internal Disease

About 330 billion cells are replaced daily, equivalent to about 1 percent of all our cells. In 80 to 100 days, 30 trillion will have replenished—the equivalent of a new you. Interestingly, TCM theory literally states that it takes 100 days for us to renew ourselves in chronic disease!

Having said that, any internal disease would require one month to three month treatment to feel fully better! After one month of treatment, our body begins to adopt to a new routine (statistically, it's about six weeks). After three months, even it is a relatively severe disease, long and frequent treatment brings significant improvement to our health; as frequent as once per week or biweekly to three times per week, also depending on the severity of the problem.

Everyone’s body reacts to treatment differently. Generally, when patients are following the lifestyle changes and advice of the practitioners, they should notice a huge difference in one month.

This is why dietary or lifestyle changes or exercises and/or supplement intake becomes very important.

Herbal treatment is prescribed for 7-10 days at a time. Do expect 3 treatment in a month may be required.

We understand that the accumulated fee for treatment is substantial. To enhance the efficacy and recovery rate of the treatment, patients are strongly advised to follow the guideline given. =)
