Services
Village Remedies was established by qualified Chinese Medicine Practitioner and massage therapist, Brendan Smith who has over 10 years experience in the field. His strong understanding of how the body works was developed in his years as a massage therapist which was deepened after studying Chinese Medicine.
Here at Village Remedies, we practice distal needling in a Dr. Tan and Master Tung style, also using Jimmy Cheng style of pulse diagnosis. We pride ourselves on each practitioner having the same training and style to ensure that all of our clients receive the same quality of care. We are often on the look for new practitioners and graduates who are interested in practicing these styles and offer to train them.
We often share acupressure tips via our social media profiles on Youtube, Instagram and Tiktok, which lead us to be featured in a daily mail article here. So we thought we'd put together some of the greatest hit acupressure points for you. Simple Self Care Acupressure is an easy to use and practical guide for using acupressure points to help with every day aches and pains.
Chinese acupuncture therapy involves inserting fine needles (finer than hair) into various aspects of the body to stimulate a therapeutic response. This technique influences our body's biological processes to address the root cause of symptoms such as pain, digestive disorders, sleep disturbances, stress and much more.
Chinese herbal medicine involves the use of multiple herbs in a formula that synergistically work together to help manage a range of health problems. This may complement your acupuncture treatment, particularly when problems are multi-faceted or long-standing. Herbs and the associated herbal treatments are commonly used for women's health issues, digestive disorders, menopausal symptoms, sleep or energy problems among others.

Brendan and team provide amazing support ! Brendan has exceptional people skills - he is approachable, takes the time to listen, patiently explains how acupuncture works and frequently checks-in throughout the session. It really is a time to unwind - and I felt instant improvement after each session.

I’d highly recommend Village Remedies. Recently i sustained a knee injury and could hardly walk - my knee and surrounding area was highly inflamed and swollen. After the first session with Brendan the swelling was gone and I was already more mobile. Over the past month I’ve continued to have treatments with Brendan and Gavin and my knee is almost fully recovered which is incredible - thanks to these awesome acupuncturists!

Finally I have been cured of HERPES after 7. Months. I read about Dr. oboze online on how he has been curing people from different deadly diseases including herpes and I also contacted him and he sent me his medicine with the prescription and now I'm cured permanently. You can also contact Dr. oboze via his WhatsApp +2348060789863 or email him (dr.obozeherbalhome@gmail.com)

Everything! My daughter has been coming over the past month with a range of complicated issues and within the first treatment her pain level went down dramatically and could walk a lot more freely. The expertise and professionalism would put anyone’s mind to ease if they are uncertain about anything. Go surprise yourself!!!

Brendan is a great acupuncturist. My sleep quality and level of stress have gradually and consistently improved since I started treatments. He’s resolved some skeletal muscular issues I thought would never go away, such as locked jaw that was constantly stiff and sore, whatever I tried. Once I went with a massive headache, a sore belly and a sore shoulder and I was exhausted. I went out feeling amazing, all pain durably gone and I had a great night sleep afterward. Each time I have a treatment, I instantly feel much better. Love your work Brendan!
