Sticking needles in my skull does not appeal to me. However, acupuncture is really popular and from what I’ve heard it seems to work. When I pass all the acupuncture centres in Central London I get put off. It’s obvious that these places are appealing to tourists and for some reason it just doesn’t strike me as authentic. If you want acupuncture without trendy pretense then you’ll be able to find it at Streatham Chinese Clinic. They also sell a multitude of miscellaneous Chinese herbs and teas that are amazingly holistic. I’m not talking about prepackaged herbs and teas; these babies are plucked straight out of the earth. If you’re looking for genuine Chinese therapeutic remedies you will find them here.
