Acupuncture & Chinese Herbal Medicine

with Marina Cosmetatos

MSc CHM, BSc (Hons) Lic.Ac.

Member of the British Acupuncture Council

Member of The Register of Chinese Herbal Medicine

As part of Traditional Medicine, acupuncture has been practised in the East for thousands of years.

Now it is incorporated in many hospitals around the world, including London!

Many Western medical doctors and physiotherapists use acupuncture trigger points for pain relief. But acupuncture is not  just about that.

Eastern and Western medical models make quite good partners, as one complements the other. Western medicine is often necessary in emergency or acute situations and fast-developing illnesses, while acupuncture can provide support for people sufering from chronic ailments, or trying to gradually build up strength.

I have undertaken further integrated post-graduate studies in fertility acupuncture. I am a member of Acupuncture Childbirth Team (ACT-London), a network of practitioners working in the area of obstetrics and gynaecology. My clinics in Turnpike Lane and in Hampstead are dedicated to all aspects of women's health.

I also practice paediatric and general acupuncture.
