The Garden Acupuncture Room

Each consultation and treatment, lasting between 1 and 2 hours is £40. That said; this can if necessary be negotiated. I do not want to deter anyone seeking treatment due to the cost. A detailed history is taken at our first session together, which needs to cover such things as previous medical history, current medications, current symptoms. At this first session your pulses and tongue will be assessed, as these give most valuable diagnostic clues to the state of a person's health in Chinese medicine and help the acupuncturist determine the best treatment plan for you. On this subject, you might have heard that acupuncture and Chinese medicine are holistic in treatment. This is so; but what is meant exactly by this statement? Simply, that we are all different and Chinese medicine values this difference and attempts to diagnose your symptoms as they relate to you, a unique person. Acupuncturists tend not to concentrate on disease, but rather on how unique disharmonies trigger symptoms of ill health within you.
