Acupuncture has been used for healing for some 3,000 years in the Far East. The human body may appear solid, but we are mainly vibrating molecules of energy. This intrinsic energy is called Qi in Chinese medicine.

Acupuncture is the insertion of solid disposable needles into accurate, specific acu-points along the energy channels to systematically balance and harmonize the flow and functions of the Qi of the human body. This is fundamental to the practice of acupuncture in Chinese Medicine for maintenance of health, treatment or disease prevention.

Unfortunately, due to the recent Advertising Standards Authority ruling, we are not allowed to make claims or publish positive customer testimonials on our website about conditions which may have appeared to have been eased by an acupuncture treatment unless we can produce relevant medical studies to substantiate this.

Dan also offers Moxabustion, Cupping and electro-acupuncture treatments.
