Traditional Chinese medicine also known as TCM is a range of traditional medical practices developed origionaly in the east over thousands of years and now used across the world. These practices include Acupuncture, Massage, Herbal Medicine, Diet and Qigong .
What Happens in Treatment?
 Traditional Chinese medicine consultation is a very detailed exploration of a patient's symptoms and medical history. After asking ten questions which cover all aspects of the individuals make up, the practitioner is likely to feel the pulse and looks at the tongue. The acupuncture points used are not always close to the part of the body where the problem is experienced.For example, points on the foot or hand may be used to treat headaches. The needles are left if place for about 15 to 20 minutes while the patient relaxes, while often feeling a dull achy tingling sensation. The needles are very thin, sterile and strictly disposable for single use.
Is Acupuncture Safe?
All members of the British Acupuncture Council(BAcC) have extensive training in acupuncture and bio medical sciences appropriate to the practice of acupuncture in the UK. BAcC members must observe the Code of Safe Practice
which defines the hygiene and safety standards relating to the practice of acupuncture. These procedures have been approved by the Department of Health, and provide protection against the transmission of infectious diseases.

Daniel is very passonate about Traditional Chinese Medicine: "During my trip in 2005 to China’s Hangzhou the city with the glorious and famous west lake, I came across a variety of Chinese medicine doctors all grounded in the traditional Chinese theories that we as practitioners in the west are familiar with. However there is one doctor at the Zhejiang College of Traditional Chinese Medicine who seemed to cause quiet a stir among both his patients and fellow staff. The doctor’s way was so different that I felt compelled to study more with him. On requesting extra hours with Dr Feng I was told that his methods were stuck in the past and other doctors with a modern approach were recommended. This of course clashed with my stubborn intuition to seek the mysterious and unknown thus I pushed forward to spend more time in Dr Fengs clinic despite the varying opinions of the College admin staff! Dr Feng uses a system of what he describes as 9 palace theory...."
