Oriental Chinese

Oriental Chinese

Acu-Therapy (also known as acutherapy) is similar to acupuncture without needles. Using psychology rather than pin pricks, Acu-Therapy balances the body's energy core by gentle finger taps or electrical impulses upon key locations of the body. Like acupressure and acupuncture, Acu-Therapy is safe and effective for a variety of chronic health conditions and disorders like headaches, sinus problems, musculoskeletal pain, stress and tension, among others.

Acu-therapy is a natural healing art that is used to restore harmonic balance within the body and helps achieve and maintain overall well-being. Because it improves circulation, acu-therapy is excellent for the lymphatic system, stress reduction and achieving full-body relaxation. While it reduces stress, acu-therapy improves the immune system's natural resistance; thus, promoting total wellness. Focusing primarily on pain relief, acu-therapy is a superb technique for pain and disease prevention.

As a post-graduate program, interested individuals can take advanced or continuing education courses in acu-therapy, where they can earn certification. In this field of study, students are taught the various aspects of the healing art; sometimes including specialized training in electro-acutherapy.

Where can you learn acu-therapy? In some cases, acu-therapy is taught at acupuncture schools, Oriental medicine institutes, TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) colleges, and other alternative medicine universities. In addition, a number of holistic workshops and seminars (that teach acu-therapy) may be available as well. Depending on the nature of the program, some acu-therapy courses may require that students have already met certain educational curriculums in acupuncture and Oriental medicine, while others ask that students have a basic concept and knowledge of anatomy and physiology. In general, it is always a good idea to review prerequisites prior to applying to any academic course.

Does anyone know of Oriental/Chinese food stores in the South East (UK)?

Not restaurants!
I'm having trouble with Google/Yell as they don't seem to be classified as I would expect..

Thanks!
Thanks Muffin, I'm in Dartford (North West Kent). While I don't mind a bit of a drive, Dartford to Littlehampton seems a little far!!! I would still be interested though, in case I'm ever in your neck of the woods and can pop in.

If you don't mind trekking around he M25, you could try Wing Yip Ltd in Croydon - 544 Purley Way, Croydon, CR0 4NZ. - Its a very large supermarket that a lot of Chinese restaurants use. (There's also a good restaurant on site.)

They also have a website for online shopping - http://www.wingyipstore.co.uk/
