My name is Bryony Dowson, I am a Lincoln-based Acupuncturist on a mission to make alternative health more integrated and a widely accessible tool worldwide.

In March 2019 I will be travelling to Nepal where I will spend two months supporting a volunteer programme which provides primary medical care, including Acupuncture, to rural communities affected by conflict, extreme poverty and natural disasters. As a project which runs entirely on donations/sponsors to volunteers I am on a mission to raise awareness about this amazing NGO and fundraise as much prior to my trip as possible.

Here’s links through to the Acupuncture Relief Project website for pictures and more info, and YouTube for a short documentary video of where I will be practicing.

Your kind donations will help pay for the medical materials I will use throughout my time in Nepal - including needles, herbal and western medicines; in country expenses including local interpreters, as well as funds to allow this amazing programme to continue for much longer than my stay. I am extremely passionate and proud about practicing such a valued skill and to have the opportunity to use it to help those most in need is humbling.
