In a nutshell, its a complete system of medicine with thousands of years of safe and effective use. In some parts of the world Chinese medicine is integrated with western medicine in public healthcare, but in the UK it is generally only available in private practice.
Incorporating acupuncture, herbal medicine and nutrition it always begins with a full in-depth consultation discussing your symptoms, full medical history and medications, and results in a diagnosis according to Chinese medicine. We then tailor your treatment programme according to your preferences and your goals.
When you've tried everything western medicine has to offer but still have symptoms which are affecting your quality of life, Chinese medicine can provide a route back to better health.
Chinese herbal medicine

Meet Rachel
Expert at finding solutions to health problems
I am an experienced acupuncturist, Chinese herbalist, nutritionist and Qigong teacher with a home-based clinic in South Northamptonshire. I also offer online telehealth consultations enabling me to work with patients across the UK. In practice since 2010, I have a particular focus on women’s healthcare plus chronic post-viral and autoimmune conditions, and I love seeing the difference that Chinese medicine can make to health and wellbeing.
I first sought out Rachel after experiencing the results of surgical menopause. I had been suffering from night sweats, poor sleep and hot flushes that were really quite debilitating and started to affect my work. Rachel prescribed herbs, and here I am several months later, and my flushes have pretty much abated, my night sweats are gone and my sleep is pretty much back on track.
A few testimonials...
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rachel and encourage anyone with health problems to give herbs a try. I'm so glad I did and can't thank Rachel enough for all her help.
As someone who suffered from migraines for years and was told by doctors there was nothing they could do, I cannot recommend Rachel highly enough. She is easy to talk to and and has helped me gain control over my migraines which has stopped the negative impact they were having on my day to day living. I cannot thank her enough.
I’ve noticed such a difference in my health since I started taking these herbs! My brainfog is noticeably clearer, leaving me with more cognitive energy - something I’ve struggled with for years and
Chinese herbs are the first thing that has made any real difference.
I would highly recommend Rachel, Chinese herbal medicine has been a godsend for me.
Thank you Rachel!
Rachel is a lovely, empathic kind person...she listens and understands what you are trying so hard to explain. Rachel makes it easy to talk to her and makes you feel comfortable explaining your symptoms whatever they may be.
