IS IT SAFE?

Traditional Chinese Medicine has been used for primary medical care by a large percentage of the world's population for thousands of years and is still the most widely used medical system in the world. Acupuncture is now recommended by many GPs for a variety of complaints. Adverse reactions have been shown to be very rare over millennia . Recent research confirms this and shows that adverse reactions are negligible compared to those produced by pharmaceutical drugs.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

The normal fee is £30 per treatment. Concessions are available on request. The cost of herbs is extra. Many private health insurance companies now cover TCM.

24 hours notice is required in the case of a cancellation or the full fee will apply.

Because of its holistic approach, Traditional Chinese Medicine can provide a safe, side effect free cure in the majority of cases. It is suitable for everyone from babies to the elderly. Some examples of conditions commonly treated include:

Back Pain, Sciatica, Arthritis, Sports Injuries, Headaches, Tiredness, PMS, Gynaecology, Menopausal Symptoms, Infertility, Digestive Problems, Constipation, Stress, Anxiety, Depression, Insomnia, Hay Fever, Asthma, Skin Problems, High or Low Blood Pressure, Circulation Problems, Urinary Problems,

If you want to know more about if Chinese Medicine is appropriate for you please feel free to telephone me. I will be happy to discuss your case with you and advise you if I feel Chinese medicine can help you.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN YOU FIRST COME FOR TREATMENT?

On your first visit I will take a detailed case history. This involves questions about your current symptoms as well as your general health, lifestyle and diet. I will also look at your tongue and feel your pulse. This information will allow me to make an individual diagnosis and treatment plan which I will discuss with you. I will be able to advise you on how many treatments you may need. Subsequent visits will be shorter as I will only need to ask about any changes.
