Welcome to Natural Health Ireland

The Traditional Chinese Medical Practice, Letterkenny and the Natural Health Centre, Buncrana, are now established at the cutting edge of alternative medicine in Donegal.

Having established the Natural Health Centre in Buncrana in 1997 with his wife Maria, Kim Mc Menamin then decided to bring his vast clinical experience and expertise to Letterkenny. Kim’s wife Maria is also an established practitioner and will be offering her unique bodywork treatments at the practice.

Traditional Chinese Medicine which includes Acupuncture, Chinese herbs, Tuina (Chinese Massage), Medical Qi Qong and Tai Chi is the world’s oldest medicine and has been tried and tested on millions of people. The recent popularity of Chinese medicine is down to the fact that people now realize the benefits of a medical health care system that can resolve and heal most diseases without the use of aggressive drugs, side effects and unnecessary surgery.
