Asante Academy of Chinese Medicine

Following a recommendation I went to see Dr Ke summer 22 to reduce my chemical sensitivity. His medication gave me severe palpitations and I called for help. Dr Ke told me to take ginger. I persevered only to end up being more sensitive than ever to chemical smells. I consulted another Chinese doctor (abroad, no competitor) who told me she would have given this medication to someone who had LOST their sense of smell. My life has become even more restricted than before. Terrible.

The Asante Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine I am a medical doctor who also practices western style acupuncture, and I had come to spend a day at the Asante Academy to further my knowledge of TCM. The Asante Academy of Tradition Chinese Medicine (TCM) is situated in a large modern premises on the first floor of a building in Highgate/Archway area of London.It is fashioned in an eclectic mixture of both modern and Chinese style. The clinics director is Professor Song Ke a well known doctor of TCM known to many medical physicians and a number of centres of medical excellence in the UK and the USA ,amongst others. I had arrived a little early and was invited by the staff to join them in their morning Tai Chi session..I knew of Tai Chi but had never practised it. Soon I was engaged in its beautiful movements which from a TCM perspective balances the Chi (energy) in your body, as explained to me by Dr Song ,one of the clinics senior therapists. He also gave me a short discourse on the basis of Chi in TCM, ably supported by his colleagues Ming and Jasmine. The staff at all times were gracious and welcoming. I sat in onProfessor Song Kes clinic observing his approach to patients who were clearly satisfied with his past treatment. He demonstrated to me the use of TCM in treating kidney disease and in patients who had complications of Covid, discussing nuances of treatment which can compliment conventional medical treatment. I also observed as 2 therapists under the guidance of a senior colleague assisting a patient with acupuncture , who was also receiving treatment from a conventional medical centre, to become pregnant. Asante Academy presents a professional ,knowledgeable and empathic patient centred Environment. For those contemplating treatment with TCM, this would be a most suitable clinic to begin. I am thinking of taking up Tai Chi regularly. Dr S L Dexter General Medical Practitioner

Asante is a great place to study authentic TCM. Their courses are well structured as well as highly practical. People there are just amazing! It is a very kind, relaxed yet stimulating environment to learn a new skill for life.

I can highly recommend this institution for training in TCM. The structure is very flexible to suit mature students and the teaching is of a very high standard. The atmosphere is relaxed yet very professional. The students have varied backgrounds but are friendly and share a passion for Chinese medicine.
