Best Acupuncture London (BAL) Ltd

There are many levels of acupuncture, and many systems – this clinic specifically, is the only one of its kind, in England (and Europe) that is lineage based for Daoist level of acupuncture and diagnosis.

Daoist acupuncture is the father of all acupuncture, and is the most advanced (in treatment and diagnosis) – but it takes years and dedication to even begin to understand, let alone practice successfully – which is the reason why there isn’t anyone practicing it, other than the fact, there is no university teaching it, it is strictly taught by Daoist lineage holders, which is not open to the general public (in most cases).

Our specialty is pulse diagnosis to help find the cause of the condition, as the same condition, can have different causes – on the surface it can look all the same. This is why treatment can be different for different people with the same condition. Of course, we don’t want to imply, just finding the cause is enough, sometimes following the symptoms is the same as finding the cause – and knowing how to treat the condition properly, and communicate it to the patient, is just as important.

Background on Daoist Acupuncture

The acupuncture we all know and see today, was given to the general public, by Daoist Masters, to quickly help the public from easy to treat conditions that people were facing. Hence it became popular to treat backaches and other conditions with acupuncture – but complete acupuncture was never fully taught as it is complex and takes dedication and years of study and exercise (Qigong and Meditation) – and if only half knowledge practitioners tried to use it, it can cause permanent damage (just like with any medicine if incorrectly used).

Background on Me

My Name is Selman Ijaz – I have been practicing Daoist Acupuncture for more than 15 years – with patients from the USA, to South Asia, as well as London, England.

I happen to be lucky to have found a Daoist Master, willing to even teach me – my need was not because of finances – I was already content with my finances even in my late teens, as my father was in the oil field services industry, and I was naturally meant to be the next head of the company – but my longing and need to understand why we don’t have “cures” to even basic ailments got the better of me – and witnessing diagnosis done purely from a patient’s pulse, shook the very platform my mind stands on.

The Best Acupuncture clinic in London

To understand the ranking factors, you need to understand about acupuncture to some extent. Acupuncture itself is filled with dozens of systems which acupuncturists use to treat a condition – for example, if there is smoke in the room, and you want to remove the smoke, you can either 1. open windows, or 2. use the exhaust system, or 3. even perhaps place fans everywhere whilst having the windows open – this is how acupuncturists work – they look at a condition, and they choose how they will treat it – even a simple condition like the flu, can be treated many different ways with many different systems, with different levels of efficacy and results.

On top of all that – acupuncture has a sort of ranking system (just like western doctors do) – because the Masters that dedicated their lives to treat patients were still different than farmers who learnt some medicine to treat basic ailments – these farmers were called foot doctors, who were placed in villages to help the community in China – the World Health Organization called this a revolutionary as it helped the country with such a large population, manage its health and preventive medicine.

Today, this is the most popular type of acupuncture, for general purpose pains – the actual advanced acupuncture training was never taught to the farmers as they held a different position to that of the Masters who dedicated their lives in acupuncture and clinical research of the time. It takes years of training and discipline to even begin.

What Acupuncture clinic is Best for You?

If you are looking for an easy pain management acupuncture clinic in London, then almost any clinic is okay.

However, if you want a deeper rooted diagnosis and treatment for something a little more complicated – you can book an appointment with one of our best clinics in London. This is also a new location, hence availability of appointments. The details of which are below:

ES Acupuncture Clinic in London is a Daoist Lineage based Clinic (the only one of its kind in Europe and the UK) led by Selman, a Daoist Oriental Medical Doctor who has several clinics around the world where he travels to and treats patients.

To book an appointment, message the number with your details, reason of book (condition or symptom) – and we can go from there.

Contact to book appointment (message only): 07413-728-524.

Email: Support@EasternScholarsClinic.com

Appointment Fee is £200 for the first appointment which lasts 30-45 mins – includes consultation, diagnosis and treatment protocol design as well as treatment itself.

Follow-up appointments are £150 per session.

Please note these are introductory prices for the new location – Selman normally charges £500 for initial first appointments and £200 for follow-ups on all other locations apart from this one, due to it being a new location in London – and these prices reflect the training and time required to maintain as a daoist medical doctor, which requires several hours of exercise and study per day (for years) to reach any level that treats at this level of treatment.

The system of acupuncture used is the same system which the Acupuncture Masters practiced, a much more complex and advanced acupuncture system – in fact, it uses all systems of acupuncture simultaneously, plus more. That said, this is not to say other acupuncture systems are not effective.

If you are not based in London, and are looking for an acupuncturist, how do you select one?

There are various factors to look at when selecting an acupuncturist – but it will be limited as some of these factors are just to make sure you stay safe, and to a smaller extent, effectiveness of treatments.

Effectiveness of treatments can only really be measured by reading reviews, and visiting the acupuncturist for a consultation and discussing your condition – not all acupuncturists can treat all things, and sometimes they specialize in certain areas as they go along – such as fertility or pain management and so on.

It is important to know a few facts about acupuncture before you visit your first consultation or treatment – these are as follows:

Acupuncture treatment should be effective from the very moment treatment starts – this means it should help you from the exact moment during and after treatment – not weeks or months later. For example, if you have constantly anxiety, and you got treated for anxiety – you should feel better from the moment you got treated (even if it did not 100% cure it) – if you don’t, then I suggest to change your acupuncturist.

Acupuncture needles do not hurt on most cases – there are some points used with intentional pain induction, but the acupuncturist should tell you about this. It is worth traveling further for a proper acupuncturist, rather than going to someone nearby, who may not be that good or effective in treating your condition.

With the above knowledge, at least you are able to go to a acupuncture doctor that is safe – the other factors are common sense – to make sure the clinic is clean and your acupuncturist is insured etc.
