Phytochemical Herbal Medicine 01

Phytochemical Herbal Medicine

Precision internal medicine based on the pharmacognosy of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Unlike generic supplements, these are complex, individualized formulas designed to restore homeostatic balance to your specific internal environment.

Medical Acupuncture 02
+

Medical Acupuncture

Evidence-based neuro-modulation rooted in 3,000 years of clinical efficacy. Performed under strict British medical safety standards, this treatment stimulates the nervous system to release naturally occurring opioids and regulate autonomic function (Qi).

Myofascial Cupping (Negative Pressure Therapy) 03
+

Myofascial Cupping (Negative Pressure Therapy)

A clinical approach to mobilizing soft tissue. By creating controlled vacuum suction, this therapy enhances hemodynamic flow to stagnant areas, facilitating the clearance of metabolic waste and releasing deep-seated neuromuscular tension.

Clinical Soft Tissue Therapy 04
+

Clinical Soft Tissue Therapy

Beyond relaxation, this structural alignment therapy integrates anatomy with functional restoration. We target the root cause of postural deviations to restore range of motion and alleviate chronic load on the skeletal system.

TaoHeal

/taʊ-hiːl/ • noun

1. A modern integrative clinic established in Manchester.
2. The culmination of Dr. Minan YAO's 15-year global medical journey.

Medicine is not just about suppressing symptoms; it is about finding the root of the disharmony.

With a background as an International SOS Medical Officer, I have managed general practice and pre-hospital stablization in some of the world's most challenging environments (iraq, Angola, DR Congo). This experience taught me one undeniable truth: Safety must always come first.

Now based in the UK, I bring that rigorous safety standard to Traditional Chinese Medicine, offering a sanctuary where Western precision meets Eastern healing.
