Dietary Therapy

“Food is medicine and medicine is food” Ancient Proverb

The food we eat obviously plays a crucial role in our overall well being. TCM places a lot of importance on the type and quality of food we eat and our eating habits.
How we eat is as important as what we eat. Too often, in this day and age, we rush our food, grabbing a quick bite when we can, or eat while watching TV or on the computer. The TCM view is that it distracts the Qi of the stomach and liver from their work and can lead to digestive problems.

Dietary therapy is a vast area within TCM and each patient needs to be assessed individually.

Testimonials

I receive acupuncture from Gerry for the treatment of Cystic Fibrosis systems. When I started I was skeptical that acupuncture would be of any benefit to me, but I was thrilled to find that after approximately 6 sessions I noticed a definite improvement in my lung symptoms. I also began to notice an immediate improvement in my breathing during the sessions. Not only this, but I find that acupuncture takes a holistic approach to health and because of this, it helps balance me emotionally also.

I cannot recommend Gerry Rothwell highly enough. His professionalism, patience and expertise immediately put me at ease, and his knowledge and confidence in his profession turned a cynic into a convert. I now look forward to my treatments and the relief they bring, and plan to continue receiving acupuncture from Gerry indefinitely.
