Travel Medicine β€” Classical Chinese Medicine Perspective for Travellers

Travel Medicine β€” Classical Chinese Medicine Perspective for Travellers

Travel β€” particularly international travel β€” brings specific health considerations: infectious disease risks requiring vaccination and prophylaxis, jet lag, acclimatisation, gastrointestinal adjustment, sleep disruption. Proper travel medicine (vaccinations, prophylaxis) is non-negotiable foundation. At Nature’s Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture Clinic in Belmont (Perth) and Geraldton, Dr. Yang (Traditional Chinese Medicine) adds classical constitutional preparation to standard travel medicine.
