Acupuncture - 5 Element and Traditional Chinese Medicine

Acupuncture is now being held at our surgery on Thursday Mornings 9.15 - 1pm

Acupuncture is a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is one of the oldest medical systems, still practiced today. This speaks much for the efficiency of treatment and for the laws and principles on which it is based.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine everyone has their own optimum state of health. It is said to be balanced in body, mind and spirit. All important factors, if life is to be enjoyed to the full.

By going for acupuncture you will experience how ancient wisdom can support rigors of modern life.
