Classical acupuncture is steeped in the teachings of Taoism, ( the way). It’s practice can be traced back over 2000 years since when it has been at the heart of traditional Chinese medical treatment alongside Herbal medicine.
As a medical application of Taoism, the emphasis of treatment is to maintain harmony and balance in the changing world around us. To calm the mind and to nurture the body in time with the rhythms of the seasons. It is the most profound and holistic system of acupuncture based on a diagnostic system known as The 5 elements.
I have based my practice in this system since qualifying in 1981. I find it to be the most ‘life enhancing’ approach, practiced alongside using acupuncture to treat common conditions such as pain, tiredness, poor energy, stress related conditions such as anxiety, depression and many more.
It also works well with other therapies offered at CHHC, often enhancing their efficacy.

Eric has practised Acupuncture in Cheltenham since qualifying from the College of Traditional Acupuncture UK in 1981. For 6 years he held office as Chairman and then President of the Traditional Acupuncture Society (now part of the British Acupuncture Council). Eric is the founding director of CHHC.
Eric put me at my ease and remained a source of support throughout my IVF treatment and subsequent pregnancy. I recommend acupuncture and in particular, treatment from Eric, to friends going through fertility problems.
The ‘boost’ I get from acupuncture puts me back on track to enjoy the simplicity of being alive in a healthy functioning body. Also, for what it’s worth, Eric is a top-notch guy and great person to get to know.
