Did you know that you do not even have to have specific condition to have Acupuncture and to reap the benefits. Acupuncture can be fantastic at maintaining your health and so may help reduce getting ill later on alongside a healthy lifestyle.
Nurses train for 3 years before being allowed to do any hands on work. Few people know that the same applies for professional Acupuncturists.
Certification in the UK is unregulated and many professional groups are taking up acupuncture having trained for limited hours, from 8 or 16 for GP's to a maximum of 80hrs (10 days) for physiotherapists.
Professional Acupuncturists train for a minimum of 3000 hours as a basic level and then many go on to specialise, gain Masters degrees or Doctorates in their field.
If you are thinking of trying Acupuncture and want to receive quality treatment be sure to check how long your practitioner studied, if they are trained in Traditional Acupuncture to degree level or equivalent and if they are insured.
There are many professional registers, all of which support acupuncturist of varied levels of training. Verify how long and where a practitioner studied to be sure they are a fully trained Professional Acupuncturist.

Did you know that Acupuncture may be able to help ease your transition through the menopause? With HRT shortages being revealed in the media it seems and always has been shocking to me that alternatives are not promoted to women. I am passionate about this! Not only have I just completed some post graduate training in the menopause it may also help you to know that I am also going through this transition myself. So when you tell me about your symptoms I know exactly what you are taking about and can relate more easily to how you are feeling. It is not only about acupuncture there is also lifestyle and dietary advice I can offer to you too. You will come through the other side it’s just about making this transition as easy as we can. ...

Oh dear, this plant in my clinic room is looking rather sorry for himself. He has been in my room 18 months now and he has not grown and now has bits dropping off him! He has not been nurtured and fed correctly which we all need to do for our own bodies to thrive. Good job my patients are looked after much better than this poor plant! #plantnotlookingsogood#feedourselveswell#chinesemedicineworks#acupuncturist#nurtureyourself#acupuncturelife#waterwell#acupuntureforhealth ...

Ah, but there is still life there and new shoots. A little bit of TLC and it will bounce back 🙂
