I’m Charlotte, I’ve been an acupuncturist and herbalist for 26years. I love what I do, helping women in particular, to find a healthy balance in their lives. I work around a Chinese medicine framework, that includes acupuncture, herbs, cupping and gua sha, nutrition and also acute homeopathic remedies

Most definitely, Acupuncture is so good in helping with chronic pain.

Results include ➡️

💮 Better range of movement
💮 Reduced pain
💮 Reduced swelling
💮 Increased quality of sleep
💮 Improved mood
💮 Boost of energy

Often those experiencing long term pain have a real mix of emotions, having an hour for yourself to rest and regenerate is often overlooked too

Specialists warn the NHS is not set up to deal with such complex conditions.
