Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a holistic healthcare system that developed in China over thousands of years. It looks at the interaction between mind, body and environment, and aims to prevent and cure illness and disease. No synthetic drugs are used, and the treatment methods are natural. People of any age and constitution can benefit from TCM. There are three common methods of restoring the body to health: herbal medicine, acupuncture and Chinese massage.
After receiving a postdoctoral degree in biochemistry, I spent several years working on muscular dystrophy and nerve-muscle development in the UK and Canada. With time I also recognized that there was a lot of wisdom behind the traditional time tested healing arts such as herbal medicine, acupuncture and food therapy. In 1989 I decided I was going to practise natural medicine and I started by attending the Northern College of Acupuncture. Here I qualified in acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine.
The Halifax Clinic of Natural Medicine, Yorkshire began life in 1979 and is thus one of the longest established clinics of its type in the North of England.

The principle of all holistic therapies is that the person is treated as a whole; by this it means not just taking into account the obvious presenting symptoms, but instead taking into account the physical, emotional and spiritual well-being of the person. People often experience physical symptoms such as headaches, skin complaints, digestion problems, etc; these types of symptoms are often the result of imbalances due to factors such as stress or emotional problems.
