Acupuncture gets a great write up in this week's edition of Chat Magazine, in an article featuring a patient of BAcC acupuncturist Sahar Hooti from AcuCare Clinic International. Sahar's patient Leanne Curran from Portsmouth, explained how traditional acupuncture helped her get her life back after struggling with chronic fatigue and pain as a result of ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis). According to the ME Association, over 400,000 people in the UK are currently living with ME, and with over 1 million people reporting symptoms of chronic fatigue as a result of Long Covid, that number is steadily increasing. The article recommends that if you would like to try acupuncture to help manage symptoms for ME, or for any health concern, you can find your nearest BAcC registered, and PSA accredited acupuncturist here https://acupuncture.org.uk/find-an-acupuncturist/

Fascinating to see what Smiddy Hill and the site of the Balance Rooms looked like over 100 years ago!

Old Cattle Market, Pickering, now named Smiddy Hill.
The photograph is taken from a postcard printed in the early 1900s, photographer unknown. The shop behind the gas lamp is a butchers shop that was later owned by Barney Ventress (senior), and the one on the right in 1889 was a beerhouse owned by David Arundale, who was also a butcher. The room behind the people was his butchers shop, and room on the right was the Bar. The property became the Lettered Board public house.
