Acupuncture

Acupuncture has been practised for over 2000 years and is one of the oldest systems of healing in existence.  Now supported by clinical research, it is accepted as a form of healing alongside orthodox medicine.  All our practitioners are fully qualified and insured members of the British Acupuncture Council. 

See our Directory for more information on our practitioners.

To keep our costs low you can choose to be treated in an open plan room, with other patients being treated at the same time by other practitioners.  Alternatively you can book one to one treatments.  Treatments cost £30 in a multi bed clinic and £45 for one to one sessions. 

Breathe London Acupuncture is located at the Colombo Centre, 34 Colombo St, Waterloo, London SE1 8DP.  Click here for directions.

How acupuncture works
The body in Chinese medicine is based on the concept of qi or energy, which flows through the body along channels of energy, or meridians, that connect with the organs of the body. When illness occurs, an imbalance or blockage happens within these channels.  Acupuncture frees up the flow within channels, where health is rebalanced and restored.
