The only thing that it has failed to achieve in a long list f medical conditions is to make me quit smoking... but I failed to complete the prescribed course as I was called away on business half way through the treatment plan. I have however heard of people quitting smoking after one session, although how they do it I have no idea!

The Chinese Acupuncture and Medicine Centre was a welcome addition to Cowbridge Road East a few…read moreyears ago. And I'm clearly not the only person tht thinks so. Now in its sixth year, the place has established itself rather nicely! I love the fact that the offer a free diagnose by a qualified Doctor, who will even visit you at home if you are too ill to travel. This is amazing! Don't forget, this is a commercial entity and isn't subsidised in any way by the taxpayer. Conversely, your GP is funded by the government, but how easy have you found it to get a home visit in the last few years from the practitioner you're registered with? Hmmmm...! It's a marvel! The Chinese medicines that they sell will generally not cost you more than the average prescription, unless you have a rare condition, or require a whole suite of herbs... again, don't forget, these medicines are not subsidised by the NHS, as the allopathic prescriptions are! Plus allopathic medicine (also known as, conventional or orthodox), often does not treat the cause of a condition, but targets the alleviation of the symptoms instead. This often means that you remain uncured of the condition, and reliant on the drugs to disguise the fact that you are unwell... great for the continued revenue of the pharmaceutical companies, but really not great for you or the treasury coffers, and ultimately the taxpayer... oh, that's you again isn't it!? Chinese medicine attempts to cure instead of disguise symptoms. Consultations with a doctor are lengthier and you get treated as a person as a whole, instead a carrier of a condition that renders you, the person, of no interest in the process. Chinese medicine takes your personality type, and your genetic physical make-up into consideration, whereas modern medicine is only interested in diagnosing and treating a recognised illness, and makes no allowances for you as an individual. You'll be offered a healthful herbal tea the moment you enter this busy little Chinese practice, and will be dealt with swiftly. They offer a pretty comprehensive service including acupuncture, acupressure and herbal therapy. A course of acupuncture or acupressure will cost you more than herbal treatments in general, but you won't being paying any more for a session than you would if you had to pay for private physio sessions, which are becoming increasingly difficult to get by referral on the NHS. Acupuncture has cured my incredibly painful badly bruised coccyx, that remained excruciating for two years until I realised that acupuncture would do the trick... it has also taken away most of my back pain, that I have suffered with for 28 years following a sporting injury. It has also vastly helped my overall health, bringing my body back into balance when it goes out of kilter due to overwork or me not taking care of myself as much as I should... and this all happens when I go for acupuncture to treat a specific condition. Chinese medicine treats the whole

It's awesome value and allows you to find out what works best for you and then go from there. From the outset, Louise's approach was reassuringly thorough and professional, but above all else, caring. Louise really does work on "mind, body and soul" in concert and I have found the results impressive after my first 3 sessions: there is a significant reduction in my anxiety, I feel more resilient and able to cope with stress and I'm enjoying an overall sense of improved physical and mental wellness. If you've found that "talking therapies" never have enough of an impact, I urge you to book with Louise. She's given me practical support and some things I can do proactively myself that make a difference every day. The Havening Techniques which were a mystery to me before my first session have proved the most beneficial. I found the experience emotional but fascinating and beautifully comforting. I'm looking forward to doing more.
