Rahul Pillai

Acupuncturist and Chinese Herbalist

​

Goose Green and East Dulwich 

​

Rahul completed his five-year training at the London College of Traditional Acupuncture (LCTA) and has been working as an acupuncturist since 2004, a Tuina remedial massage therapist since 2005 and a Chinese herbalist since 2006. He has also trained in herbal dispensing and pharmacognosy.

​

He has a special interest in gynaecology, male and female infertility and pregnancy care.  He has worked at Conceive since 2015, during which time he has supported countless women on their fertility journey, and onwards through their pregnancy.

​

His practice is profoundly influenced by Canonical/Classical Chinese medicine (CCM). This is one of the earliest forms of Chinese medicine and is very effective in terms of both cost and time, as it provides herbal and acupuncture treatment protocols of beautiful simplicity. The effectiveness of CCM is proven by the fact that its tried and tested herbal formulas are still in use almost 2,000 years after they were first prescribed.

​

He also has a special interest in dermatology.

​

Rahul has also taught at the College of Oriental Medicine in Ireland as a lecturer in Chinese herbology and prescriptionology, as well as a clinical practice supervisor.
