welcome

My name is Nicholas Newton, I am a fully qualified, insured and regulated acupuncturist and member of the British Acupuncture Council. I am passionate about the simplicity and effectiveness of Classical Five Element Acupuncture. My daily experiences working with this style of acupuncture ensure that my practice and continuing professional development remain true to the 'Classical' tradition as taught by professor J.R. Worsley. My treatment room is located close to Warren Street and Great Portland Street tube stations (map).

What is Classical Five Element Acupuncture?

Classical Five Element Acupuncture, sometimes referred to as Constitutional, Traditional or more simply Five Element Acupuncture, is a subtle yet powerful tool for initiating change by restoring unity to the body, mind and spirit. Classical Five Element Acupuncture works by regulating and balancing the body using strategic points to unblock, build and transfer energy in order to improve physical, mental and emotional well-being. When the individual is united like this, life becomes enjoyable again and disease abates.

What can acupuncture treat?

Acupuncture is effective in the treatment of many mental, physical and emotional conditions (World Health Organization) and treats most, if not all, conditions that we associate with illness. It is particularly effective in the treatment and resolution of depression, stress, sleeping disorders, fatigue, high blood pressure, anxiety and, of course, pain. However I and many other Classical Five Element practitioners believe that any condition that is generated by the body, from niggling aches and pains, to complex unexplained conditions can and do benefit from Five Element treatment (CACTUS study).

how does acupuncture work?

The twelve more commonly used acupuncture meridians, or channels, are each paired with specific organs within the human body. When we get tired or stressed the functions of these organs can become affected. Acupuncture works to re-establish the optimal performance and communication between these organs. When all the organs are working collaboratively, we feel good about ourselves and life becomes effortless.
