Dr. Jim Xing – A Highly Experienced Chinese Medicine Doctor in Melbourne

Graduating with a Bachelor Degree of TCM from the Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in China, Dr. Xing has gathered over three decades of clinical practicing experience. Before migrating to Australia, he taught and conducted research at Hainan Medical University, and spent a lot of his time in the clinical practices of the hospital clinic of the university.

Currently, Dr. Xing is a registered acupuncturist and herbalist of the Chinese Medicine Board of Australia, and a fully accredited member of the Australian Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Association. He operates two Chinese Medicine clinics in Melbourne, located in Frankston and Murrumbeena (near Chadstone), to provide convenience and easy access to patients in different areas. Many patients from across Melbourne, and indeed other places have sought Dr. Xing’s services, owing to his high level of experience.

With a passion for Chinese medicine, Dr. Xing persistently and tirelessly spends time studying and researching historical medical theories and classics. Combining his knowledge in “I-Ching” (also known as the Book of Changes, one of the oldest Chinese classical texts), Western medicine, and his 30+ years of clinical experience, he has accumulated a good wealth of medical knowledge and clinical experience to diagnose and carry out treatment.

There’s an old Chinese saying, which goes “there are so many ways that people can get ill, yet there are so little ways that doctors know how to heal”. Dr. Xing believes that a good doctor should come with profound medical knowledge and experience in order to diagnose the condition precisely and tailor the process to the individual. Such is true in Traditional Chinese Medicine where treatment aims to balance the ‘yin & yang’ in the body, with the goal of rehabilitation to restore the body’s own functions, not just temporarily alleviating the clinical symptoms. “To improve the clinical efficacy, the only way is by assiduously reviewing medical theories and deep assessment in the clinical process”, Dr. Xing comments.

With profound medical knowledge and in-depth clinical experience, as well as a deep passion for his work, Dr. Xing often engages in medical discussions with a diverse range of well-known medical experts in China, including specialists in internal medicine, surgery, gynaecology, pediatrics, dermatology, orthopedics, ENT, ophthalmology, and oncology, in a quest to continuously strengthen and develop his knowledge on these areas.

Dr. Jim Xing is a registered Acupuncturist and Chinese Herbalist with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), and a member of the Australian Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Association (AACMA).

With over thirty years of clinical experience, Dr. Xing has garnered knowledge and experience in a large number of conditions, namely:

•  Allergy diseases such as hay fever, asthma, eczema, urticaria (hives), etc. Such diseases are common throughout Melbourne. To assist patients suffering from these allergic diseases, Dr. Xing has found that using acupuncture, combined with Chinese herbal medicine is a great approach.

•  Digestive dieseases such as gastritis, peptic ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, habitual constipation, etc., which may be assisted with the use of acupuncture and Chinese medicine. Dr. Xing is very passionate about helping patients who are suffering from such diseases, and has devoted a great deal of time to researching and garnering experience on the matter.

Dr. Xing is proficient in using Chinese herbal medicine to tailor the treatment of diseases to the individual’s requirements.

•  Hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, etc. These can be genetic and lifestyle related, and therefore difficult to treat. Many patients are taking lifelong prescriptions to control the diseases. Dr. Xing has found that an appropriate application of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, along with certain lifestyle changes can often assist these patients.

•  Tension, anxiety, depression, insomnia, headaches, migraines, endocrine disorders, etc. which are becoming increasingly common today. Dr. Xing generally targets such disorders using acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, combined with other advice.

Dr. Xing has profound experience and knowledge in a variety of gynecological problems, especially functional infertility.

•  Common pediatric diseases such as recurrent respiratory tract infections, indigestion, enuresis (bed-wetting), ADHD, skin conditions, etc. These may be assisted with satisfactory results through the use of Chinese medicine, acupuncture and therapeutic massage.

•  Chronic lower leg ulcers which can be difficult to cure, even with the increased knowledge and advancements we see today. Dr. Xing uses Chinese medicine with a combination of internal and external applications, to strive for results.

•  Shingles – a common viral infection disease of the skin. Patients who do not seek treatment early enough may suffer for years and are prone to complications such as post-herpetic neuralgia. Dr. Xing has garnered a great deal of experience in assisting patients who suffer from shingles, and generally chooses to utilise acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine in an effort to combat the disease.
