Core Treatment

Acupuncture

A Millenary Tradition

Ancient knowledge, modern results

Have you ever wondered how acupuncture can help ease your suffering and help your body heal naturally? Acupuncture is a great tool to increase your body's innate response to disease — it works by regulating blood circulation in different tissue planes and internal organs, stimulating your central nervous system and encouraging your body to achieve a naturally balanced state.

Acupuncture treatments, when performed properly and by a trained acupuncturist, are pain-free and quite enjoyable. Most patients find sessions deeply relaxing — many fall asleep on the treatment table.

After an initial assessment, we will prescribe a series of tailor-made treatments that best suit your condition. We draw our knowledge from extensive clinical practice and learning from the best — including direct training at a teaching hospital in Chengdu, China.

We have access to the most modern and up-to-date tools and techniques to help your body through this healing journey. Book an appointment or contact us to find out how acupuncture can help you get your health and vitality back.

Herbal Therapy

Herbal Medicine

A Solution to Modern Day Chemicals

Nature's pharmacy, precisely prescribed

NaturalMed provides herbal medicine for its patients, drawing its wisdom from ancient Eastern knowledge of the body and nature. The Chinese pharmacopoeia is one of the most extensive and refined systems of plant-based medicine in the world — developed and refined over thousands of years of clinical observation.

After a thorough initial assessment, herbal formulas are composed specifically for your condition and constitution. They may be prescribed on their own or synergistically with acupuncture treatments — whichever best suits your situation.

Every formula is bespoke. We do not prescribe generic or off-the-shelf products. Your formula will be adjusted as your condition evolves over the course of treatment.

Manual Therapy

Tuina Massage

Chinese Therapeutic Massage

Healing through touch, guided by meridians

Tuina (推拿) is a form of Chinese therapeutic massage with a history of over two thousand years. Unlike Western massage, which focuses primarily on muscle relaxation, Tuina works along the body's meridian system — the same energetic pathways used in acupuncture — to stimulate the flow of Qi and Blood, releasing blockages and restoring balance.

Techniques include rhythmic compression, kneading, rolling and targeted pressure on specific acupoints. Tuina is particularly effective for musculoskeletal pain, joint stiffness, sports injuries and postural problems, and it can also support internal conditions by stimulating organ function through specific reflex zones.

Tuina is often combined with acupuncture in a single treatment session for enhanced results. It is a deeply therapeutic — not merely relaxing — experience.

Chinese Dietetics

Food as Medicine

Nourishment rooted in Chinese medical wisdom

Chinese dietary therapy is one of the oldest systems of nutritional medicine in the world. Unlike modern nutritional science, which analyses food in terms of macronutrients and vitamins, Chinese dietetics classifies foods according to their energetic properties — their temperature (warming, cooling, neutral), flavour and their affinity with specific organs and meridians.

Dietary guidance at NaturalMed is always individualised. Based on your TCM diagnosis and constitution, Nuno will identify the foods and preparations that support your healing process — and those that may be hindering it. Simple, practical and grounded in centuries of wisdom.

Chinese dietary therapy is typically prescribed as a complement to acupuncture or herbal treatment, reinforcing and accelerating clinical results between sessions.

Online Consultations

TCM Care, Wherever You Are

Professional guidance without the commute

Many aspects of Traditional Chinese Medicine are accessible remotely. Online consultations are available for patients throughout the UK and Portugal who cannot attend the clinic in Newtown, or who prefer the convenience of a video appointment for follow-up care.

Online sessions are particularly suited to herbal medicine prescriptions and adjustments, Chinese dietary therapy guidance, follow-up consultations after an initial in-person assessment, and advice for patients with limited mobility or those in remote areas.

An initial in-person consultation is recommended where possible, as TCM diagnosis relies in part on physical observation (tongue, pulse). However, Nuno can conduct a thorough remote assessment and begin treatment in many cases.

The Clinic Comes to You

Treatment in the comfort of your own home

For patients in the Mid-Wales area who prefer to receive treatment at home — whether due to mobility limitations, recovery from injury, or personal preference — NaturalMed offers home visits for acupuncture and Tuina massage.

Nuno brings all the equipment needed for a full treatment session. The clinical quality of treatment is identical to that provided at the clinic — the only difference is the setting. You simply need a comfortable space to lie down and relax whilst we take care of the rest.

Home visits are available in the Newtown area and surrounding Mid-Wales communities. A travel supplement applies, calculated by mileage from the clinic at 30 Shortbridge Street. Please contact us for availability and to discuss your location.
