Clinical Focus

Eric works with people who are stuck. The ones who have tried the obvious things and are still unwell. His speciality is the kind of chronic, layered illness that Chinese medicine calls Gu Syndrome and modern medicine often struggles to name. Conditions like CFS, fibromyalgia, mould illness, and post-viral fatigue.

His approach draws on acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and moxibustion. Not as alternatives to conventional care, but as a different map of the same terrain. Most of his patients are also working with GPs and specialists. He sees this as the point: two maps together are better than one.
