Pascal was a fantastic acupuncturist. He takes a very thorough history. He's a very knowledgeable professional and has really helped me number of different times with various problems. As a client and a GP I highly recommend him. Pascal is a very gentle and compassionate Acupuncturist. As an Acupuncturist myself, I am very selective about who I would get treatment from or recommended.
I can highly recommend Pascal. Having been an osteopath for 13 years I've become very picky about who I get treatment from! Have had treatment from Pascal many times for various issues including PMT, hip pain, headaches and nerve impingement pain all with great success. He's thorough with his questioning, examination and explanation, always very respectful towards patient modesty- leaving the room while you undress and using blankets throughout.

This is not a marketing manifesto to convince you to visit me but a description of the situation of acupuncture in the UK. Acupuncture is not statutory regulated in the UK, which means that anybody can practice. The British government has announced that it was satisfied with the self-regulation of a few professional bodies and that if the public wanted to be safe, they should approach them.
The herbal tradition of China is valued scientifically, as well as being a fascinating and popular tradition. Scientists working in mainland China, Taiwan and Japan during the past four decades have demonstrated that herbal materials contain active components that can explain many of their claimed actions.
We commonly refer to Chinese herbal Medicine with the acronym CHM and Traditional Chinese Medicine by TCM. In Western medical terms, infertility is defined as an inability to conceive after at least 12 months of unprotected sex. However, much of what is diagnosed as 'infertility' could be more accurately described as 'sub-fertility'.
This way of presenting the formulas is a simplification to help you navigate through them. A formula is never selected in relation to a Western diagnosis (e.g "insomnia") but a Chinese medicine pattern (e.g "Heart Blood and Spleen Qi deficiency"). The same formula may be used for many different physical or emotional issues with the same underlying physiological pattern.
If for any reason you cancel a treatment within less than 24 hours notice, the full treatment price remains due for the reserved time slot. FYI, The clinic is on elevated ground floor so unfortunately not accessible to wheelchair. Most bus routes go to nearby Princess Street and there is ample parking around the building and on Heriot Row (along Queen Street's gardens).

I feel very fortunate to have found Pascal after trying other clinics in Edinburgh which gave me standard treatment. Over the past year Pascal took the time to understand my fertility issues from a physical, emotional and mental perspective and then tailored each session according to my needs. After each treatment I felt grounded, relaxed and began to sleep and manage stress better. Aside from the physical benefits, Pascal's compassionate, wise and uplifting spirit made me feel emotionally supported and understood as I struggled with infertility. As I nervously approached IVF treatment, Pascal

I decided to try acupuncture for my chronic fatigue, after being let down by a reductionist medical model and it felt hugely supportive to be treated holistically. Pascal was both warm and professional, creating a safe and nurturing space, and wonderfully eloquent in describing the treatment and the philosophy behind it. The treatment really helped me understand and alleviate my fatigue and I would have no hesitations in recommending Ecosse Acupuncture Edinburgh to prospective clients.

I can't recommend Pascal enough. His grounded, joyful, attentive presence creates safe space for the client and is very uplifting. He is very perceptive, and knowledgeable. He really listens and is open for a dialog.
In my case, he was very clear and precise in the course of action and treatment and has helped me tremendously in improving my mental health and visible sympthoms manifesting as a persistent ovarian cyst. After just a few sessions it is gone.
He is really focused on the well-being of the patient at all times , dedicated and professional in his practice.
I trust him fully and feel

I have been visiting pascal over the years for a variety of reasons, ranging from wishing to maintain general well- being and health, through to specific health issues.
The practise space is clean, central and well maintained. Pascal is a professional, knowledgeable and caring acupuncturist. He tailors his treatment to your specific needs and has helped my own issues enormously.
Highly recommended.

Pascal is a gentle, compassionate and professional individual who made me feel instantly at ease. Through just a few sessions, he granted me the gift of my menstrual cycle returning after a 7 year absence. I feel complete not only physically, but also emotionally and have a new sense of presence which is giving me much more clarity in everyday life. I would recommend him to everyone, he genuinely cares about his clients and effortlessly tailors each treatment to the individual.

Pascal has a very human and holistic approach where mind, body and spirit are addressed as a whole. Practicing from this perspective takes the treatment into very interesting levels. The sessions were very mindful, calm, nourishing and infused with a clever sense humor and a positive outlook on both illness and treatment.

It's almost 2 years now since I first went to Pascal with sciatica. I could barely stand up straight. Almost instant relief. Since then I have visited regularly when the sciatica returns, and also get treatment for arthritic knees. Pascal is professional, passionate about what he does and is very respectful. I would not hesitate to recommend him.
