About



Acupuncture, herbal medicine, and therapeutic bodywork remain popular in Asia, with whole hospitals dedicated to them. There they are often seen for:

  • Hay fever, asthma, and allergies
  • Headaches and migraines
  • Digestive, bowel and urinary problems
  • Women’s health issues
  • Some cases of fertility issues (male or female)
  • IVF assistance
  • Pregnancy support and aftercare
  • Painful conditions and injuries
  • Skin problems
  • Emotional and stress-related issues
  • Sleeping problems
  • Neurological issues
  • Fatigue and tiredness
  • Smoking cessation, cravings, and support of addiction treatment

The World Health Organisation has included traditional East Asian medicine in its global compendium and in 2003 published a list of 28 conditions where acupuncture has shown to be effective and a another 63 where therapeutic effect has been shown but further proof is needed (WHO (2002) Acupuncture: Review and Analysis of Reports on Controlled Clinical Trials. World Health Organization, Geneva).

In Dan’s experience, success in treatment may vary depending on many individual factors and circumstances. Certain conditions may require referral to – or collaboration with – orthodox medicine or a qualified counsellor. Please contact Dan for an in-depth discussion of how he may best help you.
