Melbourne Chinese Medicine Clinic

Chinese Medicine for Whole-Body Balance and Individualised Care

At JG Alternative Healthcare, Chinese Medicine forms the foundation of our approach a time-tested system that views the body not just as a set of symptoms, but as an interconnected network of energy, organs, and emotional states.

Under the care of Jesse, this framework is adapted to meet the real-world needs of clients seeking natural, personalised ways to support health, function, and wellbeing. With a background in sports medicine and traditional Eastern practices, Jesse brings a balanced, grounded perspective to Chinese Medicine.

Whether it’s pain, fatigue, hormonal imbalance, or recovery from physical stress, Chinese Medicine provides a lens through which your body’s patterns can be understood and gently supported.

Modalities Offered at JG Alternative Healthcare

Chinese Herbal Medicine

Jesse offers custom-blended Chinese herbal formulas, chosen specifically for your presentation and tailored as your condition evolves. Herbs may be provided in granule or capsule form, depending on the situation and your preference.

Common areas people seek herbal support for include:

• Stress and sleep disturbances
• Digestive irregularities
• Hormonal cycles or transitions
• Immune resilience and fatigue

Jesse uses herbs judiciously, combining clinical experience with traditional theory. All herbs are TGA-approved and sourced from reputable suppliers.

Acupuncture

Fine sterile needles are used to gently stimulate the body’s acu-points — chosen to harmonise, tonify, or move Qi and Blood depending on the pattern Jesse identifies. Acupuncture may be integrated with:

• Electro Acupuncture – For chronic tension or nerve modulation
• Moxibustion – For warmth, nourishment and energy circulation
• Cupping Therapy – To release surface stagnation and muscular holding
• Gua Sha – For fascia release and lymphatic flow

Each treatment is tailored to you, and may involve one or several of these methods.

A Practitioner’s Approach

Jesse combines pulse and tongue diagnostics, case history, palpation, and ongoing dialogue with you to adjust treatments in real time. No two people with similar symptoms receive the same plan — because Chinese Medicine recognises that context matters.

It’s not about “fixing one thing” — it’s about restoring rhythm, responsiveness and internal communication in the body.

What to Expect

Your first consultation will involve a deep dive into your health history, current challenges, and goals. From there, Jesse may recommend:

• A stand-alone acupuncture session
• Herbal medicine prescription
• A combined therapy session (e.g. acupuncture + cupping + moxa)
• Ongoing care plan with check-ins and adjustments

Herbal formulas may be adjusted across your treatment timeline as your presentation changes.
