On Your first visit you may be with me for up to 2 hours depending on your ailment although 1 hour is often sufficient. I will spend time taking a diagnostic history, this will involve making observations such as the appearance of your tongue and the quality of your pulse. 

"Illness may be identical, but the persons suffering from them are different"

              (Hsu Ta-Ch'un)

After the Diagnosis a small treatment is usually performed. Often you will then come back in a weeks time for a further treatment but, this is flexible. With some illness it is best to treat it twice a week to start with until it starts to get better, then once per week, once every two weeks, once a month. Some patients come once per month anyway to keep healthy.

every Patient responds differently to the treatment so it is very difficult to predict how long a course of treatment will   take. This is not open ended I realize the financial implications of long term treatment and I will discuss these issues if the treatment goes on for a time. If you are not responding after the fifth treatment then we will review as to whether it is worth carrying on. Remember I go for Acupuncture myself! 

My charges are at present £35 for a two hour session which includes diagnosis or £35 for a one hour session. Most people only need one hour for the first session. 

           what does your tongue look like!?
