Yiqing Tang is a TCM clinic led by acupuncture and other external therapies, while carrying on classical internal decoctions. We believe the way through complex chronic problems lies in combining external and internal care, with patient pattern differentiation and steady follow-through.
We focus on complex conditions across the circulatory, nervous, digestive, musculoskeletal and respiratory systems, and have developed our own approach to mental and emotional conditions — calm the spirit first, then the body.
This site presents our professional scope: WHO, Cochrane and JAMA findings are cited as evidence only, with no efficacy promises; case notes strictly follow medical advertising regulations.

What sits behind those three lines
You will want to know how we actually work and where our limits are. Here is what we are willing to spell out — what we take on, what we do not, and what your first visit looks like.
Complex-case focus
We work on chronic, recurring and multi-system problems that have not responded well to routine treatment.
Before we begin: please bring previous test reports and a list of medication you take, so anything needing medical or surgical attention first can be ruled out.
Where we stop: emergencies, acute conditions needing surgery, and active cancer treatment are referred to hospital without delay
Review rhythm: four weeks is one assessment point. If nothing observable changes in four to eight weeks, we say so plainly and discuss another route or a referral
Needle & herb, one plan
One physician does the pattern diagnosis, the point selection and the prescription — both halves come from the same reasoning.
First visit, about 40 minutes: history, pulse and tongue together with your existing records, ending with one concrete goal
An executable plan: how often the external treatment comes, how many doses of decoction, how to take it, and what to adjust at home
Herb safety: sources are traceable; if you take anticoagulants or immunosuppressants, or have abnormal liver or kidney results, we assess before prescribing
Evidence-guided
Both the condition list and the wording have a floor: cite evidence where it exists, and label experience as experience.
Grading: grade A (WHO / Cochrane / JAMA-level evidence), grade B (WHO indications plus systematic reviews), grade C (traditional strength, labelled as experiential care)
Wording floor: no “cure”, no success rates, no “fixed in a few sessions”; case notes discuss clinical reasoning, never proof of effect
Alongside your specialist: for hypertension, angina, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, Parkinson’s or depression we work with your specialist, and medication is never stopped or reduced on our advice alone
What we say up front
No promise of cure: how far things can improve depends on duration, constitution and consistency; you get a realistic goal at the first visit
No substitute for emergency care or surgery: acupuncture and decoction work on chronic and functional problems
No hidden uncertainty: if your case sits outside what we do well, we say so and point you to the right department
From first visit to review
First visit, 40 minutesHistory, pulse and tongue, existing records; agree the goal and whether we are the right fit
Plan agreed the same dayTreatment frequency, number of doses, home care — explained in one sitting
Weeks 1–4Treatment at the agreed rhythm; changes logged each visit, and you can report concerns at any time
Review at week 4Measured against the first-visit goal: continue, adjust or refer — stated clearly either way
