About Us
ACUpuncture and ayurVEDIC medicine is at the heart of The Acuvedic Clinic.
A meeting between Traditional Chinese and Traditional Indian Medicine.
Sumudu Godagama and her father and renowned ayurvedic expert Dr Shantha Godagama run The Acuvedic Clinic together.
They both firmly believe that everyone has the ability to become empowered through illness and that healing begins when you decide to understand yourself better. You natural energetic constitution, lifestyle, diet and history governs what creates illness and what generates wellness. Ayurveda and Chinese Medicine identifies the subtle deviations from this natural state which lead disease and disharmony. Understanding the natural forces which govern your body helps creates the holistic approach used in all Acuvedic treatments.
“Natural forces within us are the true healers of disease.”
(Greek philosopher: Hippocrates)
Dr Godagama first started his practice in 1979, at the well known Tyringham Clinic, a residential clinic which accommodated up to 90 patients, the first of its kind in the United Kingdom. Having directed the Tyringham Clinic and helped countless patients on their road to recovery, Dr Godagama's reputation expanded from the local community into international recognition as a leading expert in the field of ayurveda.
The Acuvedic Clinic has a strong dedication and genuine care for all its patients and understands that there are many routes to achieving wellbeing and good health. With professional training in anatomy, physiology and medical sciences they utilise western and eastern diagnostic methods thus integrating western medical knowledge with traditional eastern medicine. All practitioners abide by strict codes of safety, confidentiality and ethics.
“By knowing one science alone one cannot arrive at a proper conclusion. Therefore a physician should study other sciences in order to arrive at a correct diagnosis”
(Ayurvedic classical text: Susruta Samhita Sutrasthana 4.6)
Five clinics are located throughout the south east of England and attract patients from all ages, walks of life and from all corners of the globe.
Ayurveda and Chinese Medicine complement one another and in many ways and The Acuvedic Clinic captures this crossover by providing both sciences together, thus enabling practitioners to treat a wider range of issues and giving the most appropriate treatment for the patient. Each treatment remains true to its original founding principles and patients will recieve the best quality in herbs, oils and techniques which have been mastered through years of practice and experience.
