About Herbwood
Traditional Chinese Medicine
TCM has two basic components- Chinese herbal therapy and Acupuncture. It has evolved with the long history of Chinese civilization, and has been extensively used by people all over Asia to restore, maintain and enhance good health for thousands of years.
Chinese medicine is distinct from western medicine. It places great emphasis on treating the human body as a whole rather than just the symptoms. Using entirely natural ingredients rather than synthetic drugs, it aims to strengthen or revive the body’s own defence system and restoring body’s internal balance so as to cure the symptoms. Because of this approach, side effects are non-existent.
Herbwood is a Chinese Medicine mobile clinic serving Gloucestershire. The clinic had been physically located in the Forum, Eastgate Centre in Gloucester city centre from 1998 to 2025, with our longevity and success being underpinned by the support of our satisfied and loyal customer base.
Dr Chen has been running the clinic for the last decade, and made the decision to shift the physcal clinic to a mobile one in August 2025, to better serve patient needs.
