Stress is the theme this year
This year Acupuncture Awareness week is focusing on stress. A brand new study by the British Acupuncture Council to mark ‘Acupuncture Awareness Week – stress’ (2nd-8th March 2015) reveals that
“over half of the UK residents surveyed are more stressed now than ten years ago and turn to junk food and booze in a bid to feel better. The study of 5,000 adults found that a third of us admit to comfort eating when stressed, a quarter confess to drinking alcohol and as a result 1 in 5 admit they put on weight.”
Acupuncture Awareness week – stress runs from 2nd to 8th March
As a special offer I am offering £5 off any treatment booked that week and taken before the end of March
