In modern times there is a tendency to assume that the things of the past are some how out dated, even to the extent of being considered of no more importance. The word 'empirical' denotes information acquired by means of observation or experimentation. Empirical data is data produced by an observation or experiment.

The use of herbal medicine is the basis for all forms of medicine on the planet. Medicinals herbs are simply concentrated foods that are known to have higher levels of therapeutic value. The first use of herbal medicine in China dates back to an oral tradition past down through the ages. Recently (200AD) texts were written down as an attempt to consolidate this oral information.
In both Eastern and Western medicine, a patient's pulse plays an important role because it is a valuable indicator of their well-being. We've all been to Western doctors who checked our pulse rates as one method of determining heart health. A normal rate is considered to be between 60-90 beats per minute and a rate that is considerably faster or slower may signal a problem.
Cosmetic acupuncture is a safe, gentle anti-aging technique traditionally used to improve facial elasticity and tone, soften the appearance of fine lines, and increase circulation to brighten your complexion and give you a glow. Increasing facial circulation using acupuncture results in more collagen and increased elastin in the skin.
Ideally acupuncture shouldn't hurt, although it can elicit a slight nerve sensation which some clients call pain. It's really a subjective experience. Most often sensations will vary for person to person but we will make sure that you understand the different experiences that you may have. We advise that you bring comfortable clothing so you can relax during the treatment as much as possible.

We love dealing with Simon relying on his expertise in Chinese herbal medicine. Our patients- both human and animal- benefit greatly from his knowledge, and we have many tough cases that no one else can help. There are many renal failure cases that are no longer in renal failure, and old arthritic patients that are managed quite well with increased mobility and pain reduction. Simon is great at thinking laterally and knows how to formulate herbs that need a bigger picture and that are not available as standard formulae. I trust his Empirical herbs for all species as he sources organic and quality

I did my due diligence, and the different information available back then, at the time of purchase online (from their main website, under the "shop" tab) was that they are experienced practitioners and fastidious about the quality of their herbs. I ordered herbs and in the order form asked for information regarding how to prepare / use the herbs on the basis that they are experienced practitioners. They sent me the product and didn't respond. I chased up again, seeking advice and received a terse response that they do not advise on the use of herbs and are simply a supplier of herbs. I am completely

I buy herbs off empirical health. i like how i can choose chemical free and organic herbs for most of the herbs that i use and they have everything i want. also simon is just a really easy going, nice guy to deal with. he comes across as totally reasonable and logical and seems like a "can do" man. given that "can't" and "no" aren't in a vocabulary that i wish to entertain, his attitude works perfectly for me.
