Why go alternative?

The reality is that most health products are created for the general public, not you the individual. Our treatments are not only tailored specifically for you, but are effective. In addition we believe that a treatment that produces negative side-effects is no treatment at all.

We treat people for many different conditions. If you cannot find details of your health issue, please contact us for more information.

Musculoskeletal Problems

We treat people suffering from sports injuries, chronic lower back pain, shoulder pain, various types of R.S.I., arthritis and much more. Acupuncture has a strong effect in these conditions and we have a high success rate in either treating conditions or helping to manage pain in chronic conditions.

Insomnia, stress, depression.

Many people in London suffer from these issues, often related to their workload, but not always. Acupuncture is effective in reducing stress and calming the mind and we also use herbs to prevent these types of issues from recurring. We will also give lifestyle advice to help manage these problems in the future. Our patients have found our treatments make a huge difference to their mood.

Skin disorders

We see a variety of skin complaints. With a combination of acupuncture and herbs these can be kept under control naturally. Whether it is a child with eczema or an adult with psoriasis, we can tailor a treatment just for you.

Fertility and Pregnancy

As has been in the news over the past months, acupuncture is an important tool in boosting fertility and aiding both natural and assisted conception.

Whether you are trying naturally, or going through IVF or ICSI, Traditional Chinese medicine can help to improve the fertility of both sexes, improving the quality of both sperm and eggs, helping to regulate hormones and improve the lining of the womb.

Once pregnant, acupuncture can help to treat morning sickness, lower back pain, can help to turn a breech baby and even induce pregnancy if the expecting mother is overdue.

Men's health

There are a range of issues that we can help with Traditional Chinese medicine, one of the most common of which is impotence. We usually use a combination of acupuncture and Chinese herbs to address this issue.

Prostate-related issues are more common than not above a certain age. Although it is tempting to ignore symptoms, it is best to address them as soon as possible. Acupuncture and herbs can also help this condition.

Digestive disorders

We have experience of treating diverse digestive problems from runner's diarrhoea and IBS to Crohn's disease. It is best to address these problems quickly as your absorption of nutrients, your energy levels and your whole lifestyle can be affected by them.

Treatments within the Office/ Workplace

We also offer visits to your workplace for a variety of health issues and also "Wellness" treatments as a special treat for your employees. Below are some recommended treatment structures.

Our Wellness treatment can be provided without disclosure of any specific health problems. It reduces stress, helps to focus the mind, strengthens the immune system and improves the quality of sleep. This can be performed with clients sitting at their desks, or lying on yoga mats on the floor. Several clients can be treated at once.

Ear acupuncture is available to those wishing to quit smoking, trying to lose weight, those with chronic illness and those suffering from stress. This is performed with clients sitting upright on a chair.

One-on-one treatments can be given in private for most health problems. This is a traditional acupuncture session and is performed with the client lying on a massage couch. Only one client can be seen at a time.

If you are interested in offering this service to your employees, please contact us to book an appointment or to receive an information pack.
