Our Story: “Xinglin Chun Traditional Chinese Medicine” (杏林春中医）derives its name from a story dating back over 1700 years in ancient China. Legend has it that Dong Feng, a respected physician, healed the sick without seeking any material gain. As a token of gratitude, patients planted apricot trees in his honor, eventually forming a lush forest known as ‘Xinglin’. This term became synonymous with skilled healers, with practitioners often referring to themselves as ‘Xinglin Zhong Ren’ (people of the Xinglin). Over time, ‘Xinglin Chun’ came to symbolize the squalities and excellence of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. Inspired by this legacy and the abundance of apricot trees in the Central Otago region, we have chosen to carry forward the name of my parents’ Chinese herbal medicine store and I simplified the name to “Apricot Acupuncture” make it easier to remember in Queesntown. Continuing the lineage of three generations of herbalists and innovating in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.
