Element Healthcare

I visited Elemental Healthcare to have a treatment with Martin whilst on holiday in the area. Martin is a very gifted acupuncturist, he helped me with ongoing problems of fatigue, Long Covid and thyroid imbalance. I definitely felt the benefit of his treatment and was able to enjoy the rest of my holiday with my family, highly recommended

I have suffered from excema for about 30 years and have had to take courses of steroids and use a lot of steroid creams over that time. This summer it was particularly bad, covering most of my torso. Since I started seeing Martin and followed a course of treatment consisting of herbal granules and creams the excema has completely cleared up. I am delighted with the result and if I have any further medical problems I will consult him again.

I have received acupuncture treatment from Martin at Element Healthcare in Frome for two weeks for an eye condition. Brief history - when I was 8 years old I had an accident that caused a fracture to the top of my left eye socket. In 2001 aged 41 I was having issues with my left eye, it was blood shot, dry and painful which got progressively worse.I was sent to an eye clinic and because I had dangerously high pressure levels they carried out laser treatment to open up the channels. The eye pressure settled down but not the pain, in fact it got worse.I was sent to several hospital eye clinics - Cambridge, Colchester,, Bournemouth and Poole, and even to the specialist eye hospitalMoorfields in London.Each examination they would check the eye and confirmed it was healthy but could not explain or give me anything for the pain. The pain level at best was 5 on a scale of 1-10 and working during the day I could cope even when it elevated to 8 or 9. However, in the evening I struggled and when I was in bed it kept me awake or would stop me resting. I would get up any time from midnight and maybe not return to bed until 5 or 6 and sometimes not at all and this could be 4 or 5 times a week and I had to work the next day. After being told there was nothing to be done I had no choice other than to get on with it and cope as best I could. I have tried alternative solutions myself; a strong CBD oil being the latest, but it only masks the pain and its effectiveness soon diminishes. I have to be honest and say I was sceptical when I was first recommended seeing Martin for acupuncture treatment but the pain had become so intense and far more frequent I was willing to try anything. From my first treatment the pain began to subside and I was able to get a full nights sleep for the first time in years. After four treatments my eye is almost pain free. It still feels uncomfortable and waters a lot but I am now getting a good night sleep every night. I am not in a position to take this for granted but it is like a huge weight being lifted off me and each day and nights relief gives me more hope. I would definitely recommend having acupuncture treatment. Even for an sceptic like me it has changed my life.

Highly recommend Martin at Element Healthcare. I saw him for several sessions for fertility treatment receiving acupuncture and the Chinese herbs. Martin was really easy to talk to and was very knowledgeable around fertility and I definitely felt an improvement after my initial sessions, I also fell pregnant very shortly after my final session with Martin and I think his treatments were certainly a contributing factor. I would really recommend Martin for all treatments and would definitely see him again when needed! Thank you Martin!

I recommend Element Healthcare! Martin has been very helpful to me with his acupuncture skills and herbal medicine. I tried it for my joint pain and for the migraine that I had for years, but after a few sessions, both went away. I am now also feeling stronger than ever. Thank you!
