‘Acupuncture is a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) a tried and tested healthcare system that has been practiced for thousands of years in China and the Far East. It has been developed, tested, researched and refined over centuries to give us a detailed understanding of the body’s energetic balance.’ (The British Acupuncture Council)          

Acupuncture has been used in the Far East to restore, promote and maintain good health for over 2,500 years. The 1st medical account of acupuncture was The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of internal medicine which dates from about 300BC. The philosophy is rooted in Taoist tradition which goes back 8000 years.
