Acupuncture - what is it?
     
Acupuncture is an ancient system of healing developed over thousands of years as part of the traditional medicine of China, Japan and other Eastern countries.

The earliest records of Acupuncture date back over two thousand years and today there are over three million practitioners worldwide.

The practice of Acupuncture is thought to have begun with the discovery that the stimulation of specific areas on the skin affects the functioning of certain organs of the body.



How does it work?


Acupuncture needles are inserted into specific points on the body depending on the diagnosis. The points follow specific paths along the body and have therapeutic effects.

In Western terms, it is increasingly recognised that it works by stimulating the nervous system in such a way that the body's natural healing chemicals are released to restore the balance and heal or relieve the condition.

  Acupuncture can be used to treat the following conditions:
     
Allergies and Hay Fever
Arthritis and Pain
Asthma
Back Pain
Digestive and Bowel Disorders
Facial Rejuvenation
Fertility
Frozen Shoulder

Headaches, Insomnia and Stress
Respiratory Disorders
Skin Diseases
Stress
Tennis Elbow

Tiredness and Chronic Fatigue
Urogenital Issues

I began my studies in Oriental Medicine in 1993 at the London College of Oriental Massage. I went on to train in Traditional Chinese Medicine at the Academy of Oriental Medicine in Austin, Texas and at the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine in Reading, Berks, where I graduated in acupuncture in 2003. I have been practising acupuncture in London for five years, in Greenwich and Borough.

More recently I have qualified in Chinese Herbal Medicine, which is a wonderful adjunct to acupuncture.
I supervise students undergoing clinical training in acupuncture. I am particularly interested in the clinical application of the Chinese medical classical texts, which provide the fundamental orientation of Chinese medicine practice.

I am a member of the British Acupuncture Council, bound to abide by its code of ethics and fully insured.

Clinically, I enjoy treating a large range of conditions, including:Allergies and Hay Fever, Arthritis and Pain, Digestive and Bowel Disorders, Fertility, Headaches, Insomnia and Stress. Respiratory Disorders, Skin Diseases, Tiredness and Chronic Fatigue, Urogenital Issues.
