Conveniently located in Preston Acupuncture in Torbay, is just a short distance between Torquay and Paignton. If you are asking "where is Acupuncture near me?" well, here I am! The Clinic has been established locally since 1995 and is run by myself, Kim Maidment. Prior to that, I trained for three years at The College of Integrated Chinese Medicine in Reading for my Licentiate.
This is where I formally studied Five Element Acupuncture, TCM Acupuncture and Patent Herbs, in addition to Anatomy, Pathology and Physiology. Later, I studied for a further year in order to convert this training into an accredited Bachelor of Science Honours degree. Since that time, I have been in continuous practice and have extended my professional knowledge-base by achieving accreditations in, amongst other things, Bio-Magnetics and Tuina.

Seahorses
Report
I am associated with the Chinese Medicine trade by the fact that I practice Chinese Acupuncture. I used to use Patent herbal remedies but under pressure from the Pharmaceutical Industry the EU stopped Acupuncturists from using Patent herbs even though we are trained in this. I used to have good ethical Herbal suppliers here in the UK but because of the EUs actions they went out of business.
TCM Acupuncture
Report
TCM(Traditional Chinese Medicine) Acupuncture is as old as Five Element Acupuncture but was changed and then used after the revolution because it doesn't talk of the Spirit of the body and the concept was considered more 'Scientific'. It would take a large book to describe the concepts of TCM but I will try in a few sentences!
