Many people seek acupuncture to help with specific symptoms or conditions. Others choose acupuncture as a preventative measure to strengthen their constitution, or because they feel generally unwell. Acupuncture is considered suitable for all ages including babies, children and the elderly. It can be very effective when integrated with conventional medicine.
Chinese herbs can be taken by the traditional brewing of raw herbs, or made into convenient capsule or powder form. All the ingredients are natural, and there are over 400 herbs in common use. No two prescriptions are the same for each client and remedies are therefore tailored for the specific ailment of the person. Over the last year, Alison has continued to increase the number of herbal prescriptions given to her clients. This progression towards combining acupuncture treatment with Chinese herbal medicine has been strengthened by the positive results in clinic. To make an informed Chinese medical diagnosis, it is crucial to draw upon all the ancient knowledge handed down over the centuries. Alison has enjoyed and continues to enjoy spending time researching classical herbal formulae and their various modifications.
Alison is a member of the RCHM, which is the largest professional body governing Chinese herbal medicine in the UK.
