The HI-Shifa Clinic
HI Shifa Clinic was founded by husband and wife practitioners, Hamza and Ishrat, after graduating in Traditional Chinese Medicine from Middlesex University. Our shared goal has always been simple: to help people achieve better health through personalised, natural healthcare that looks beyond symptom management.
Today, HI Shifa Clinic operates primarily through online consultations and personalised herbal medicine, making expert care accessible wherever you are. For patients requiring physical therapies such as acupuncture or cupping, we also offer home visits in selected areas.
We believe every patient deserves to be listened to and understood. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, we take the time to explore your health history, lifestyle and symptoms to create a treatment plan tailored specifically to you with practical guidance and ongoing support throughout, so you always understand your progress and next steps.
Whether you're struggling with persistent pain, digestive issues, fatigue, skin conditions, stress, or another acute or chronic health concern, our aim is not only to support your recovery but to help you understand your health and regain confidence in your wellbeing.
Three steps, from consultation to ongoing care
Book Your 30-Minute Consultation
Send a pre-consultation message by email, WhatsApp message or voice note. Please include:
- Your main concern: when and how it started, and when and how it was diagnosed.
- Medication & lifestyle: any current medication or supplements you take, your sleep routine and your diet.
- Tongue photo: a clear photo of your tongue in natural light.
With this information provided in advance, we can make the most of your 30-minute consultation.
Your Personalised Treatment Plan
We create a treatment plan tailored to you, which may include a bespoke herbal medicine prescription, dietary recommendations, lifestyle guidance, self-care advice and natural therapies such as acupuncture or hijama.
Where herbal medicine is prescribed, it is prepared and posted directly to your home with clear instructions on how to take it.
Follow-Up & Ongoing Support
We review your progress, monitor how you are responding and adjust your prescription or treatment plan when needed, with ongoing support throughout your recovery.
