Chinese Traditional Medicines Hospital

About us

Named for the flower of this city

The bauhinia is Hong Kong's floral emblem, blooming through the coldest months. We took its name in the hope that gentle Chinese medicine can help people here hold onto resilience and balance amid a relentless pace of life.

Our mission

To make Chinese medicine transparent, understandable and continuous. Patients have every right to know their own pattern diagnosis, what is in their formula and where treatment is heading — so we write every record in language a patient can follow.

The clinic

Chinese Traditional Medicines Hospital Limited was established in Hong Kong in 2020, to carry on and promote the culture of Chinese medicine — combining classical practice with modern health management to offer consultation, wellness care and individual health planning. The clinic sits in Tsim Sha Tsui East, Kowloon, with private consultation rooms, a dedicated acupuncture suite and an in-house herbal dispensary. All clinical records are held in an electronic medical record system, handled strictly in line with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance.

What we hold to

Properly registered

Every practitioner holds current CMCHK registration and continues professional development.

Traceable herbs

Herbs are sourced from reputable suppliers, with testing certificates available on request.

Privacy first

Records are encrypted at rest and every access is logged and auditable.

Honest counsel

We do not overstate what Chinese medicine can do. Where western medical care is warranted, we say so and refer.

Who we usually see

These are the situations we meet most often. If yours is not among them, you are still welcome to come and talk it through.

Long hours at a desk

Sitting all day, tired eyes, a tight neck, shoulders and lower back, with sleep and meals bent around work. This is the most common reason people come to us.

Already under medical care

You have a diagnosis and are taking medication or following a course of treatment, and want Chinese medicine alongside it to help with day-to-day discomfort and energy. Here it supports your care; it does not replace it.

Tests come back clear, but you feel unwell

Tired, sleeping badly, unsettled digestion, catching every cold — nothing shows up on a check-up and you still do not feel right. Chinese medicine works from the whole picture, which suits this well.

Wanting to look after yourself this way

An interest in how Chinese medicine reasons, and a willingness to adjust sleep and diet by constitution and season — care as part of ordinary life rather than only after illness.

Workplace health

Talks on Chinese medicine, staff health days and group sessions for organisations. Get in touch and we can discuss what would suit your team.

Whichever of these fits, if you are taking medication your doctor prescribed or following a course of treatment, keep doing so. Chinese medicine can run alongside your existing care, but it should not take its place — and where western medical care is warranted, we will say so and refer.

Our practitioners

Lineage

The practice holds the plaque of the Yishui School Hong Kong Heritage Workshop, conferred by the Baoding Municipal Bureau of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The Yishui School is a current of Chinese medical scholarship formed in the Jin–Yuan period, known for its work on the spleen and stomach.
