About Me

Li is originally from China but is now a proud Irish citizen and has lived in Ireland for the past 17 years. She graduated as a general nurse in 1997 and then worked as a Medical, Surgical, and Theatre nurse in a prestigious AAA hospital, which is the highest standard of medical care in China, with an 800-bed capacity and a Traditional Chinese Medicine Ward, 陕西3201医院.

She came to Ireland in 2007 and not long after started working as a Theatre Nurse at the Rotunda Hospital. Over the course of her 10-year career at the Rotunda, she became increasingly convinced of the benefits of acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine.

I cannot recommend Li Duggan enough! I’ve been seeing her for acupuncture to help with stubborn sinus problems and pressure headaches. She is incredibly skilled, professional, and attentive. Li is wonderful—I'm so glad I found her!

Li is an exceptionally gifted acupuncturist. From the first session, I felt I was in the hands of a true master of their craft. Kind, patient, and sincere, and takes the time to listen and understand what you need. I’m so grateful to have found Li and would recommend to anyone without hesitation.

I started acupuncture hoping to manage issues I was having following a major medical event. Li's knowledge & guidance has helped me better understand how important circulation is to bodily function and recovery. I would highly recommend. Thank you Li. D

I had a really positive experience at this acupuncture clinic. I visited previously for my shoulder pain and was very happy with the overall experience, so I didn’t hesitate to bring my dad in when he was having problems with his ankle. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and well looked after. The service was professional, friendly, and reassuring, and everything was explained clearly throughout the process. I would highly recommend this acupuncture clinic to anyone looking for a friendly and professional service. Thank you for making both of our experiences so positive!

I attended Li earlier this year with Cartilage problems in my Knees. She improved my circulation which I got major relief from. She was very efficient and professional. I highly recommend Li.

Li is an extremely talented practitioner and a lovely person. I have been attending her on and off for three years for a number of issues and I have always found that her sessions make a huge difference. She is incredibly knowledgeable and really takes the time to talk about everything that’s going on and to explain what she thinks is happening and why. I have recommended Li to all my friends and have no doubt she’s the best acupuncturist around.

Frequently asked Questions

How does acupuncture work?
Acupuncture needles differ from these hypodermic syringes in that they are much finer and solid rather than hollow. Acupuncture needles are designed to part the skin without cutting the tissue. The sterile stainless-steel needles which are commonly used have a diameter of between 0.25mm to 0.45mm – about the thickness of a human hair.
It is vital that you tell your practitioner if you suffer from any diseases transmissible by blood (e.g. HIV, AIDS, hepatitis etc.) or if you are on any blood thinning medication. These facts should come out during our Case History discussion, but you must disclose them.
It is also vital to let me know if you are (or even suspect that you might be) pregnant, as some acupoints are not used during pregnancy, and neither you nor your practitioner will want to take any unnecessary risks with your pregnancy.
Yes, acupuncture is safe when performed by a qualified practitioner. We use sterile, single-use needles to ensure your safety and comfort. There are very few side effects from acupuncture when practiced by a fully qualified practitioner of traditional acupuncture. Any minor side effects that do occur, such as dizziness or bruising around needle points are mild and self-correcting.
Acupuncture is a safe form of treatment when performed by a well-trained, conscientious practitioner who has a good knowledge of human anatomy and who uses single-use sterile disposable needles. As a member of the acupuncture council of Ireland, I am bound by a Code of Clinical Practice – which includes the use of sterile single-use disposable needles. In addition, as a medical professional with over 20 years’ experience in a triple A rated hospital in Hanzhong China and in the Rotunda hospital here in Dublin, I have a very high level of clinical and diagnostic skills. Most people find it painless or occasionally mildly uncomfortable. The most common reaction is for people to feel the treatment very relaxing and some people fall asleep during treatments.
The amount of treatments you need will depend on the condition you are presenting with and your general lifestyle. In general guide, most people will see significant improvement within 4 to 6 weekly sessions. For conditions that have been present for a very long time this may take longer.
Acupuncture can increase fertility by reducing stress, increasing blood flow to the reproductive organs and balancing the endocrine system, according to several studies and medical research. Acupuncture helps to keep the normal flow of this energy unblocked, thereby increasing a couple’s chances of conceiving.Acupuncture improves blood flow to reproductive organs, balances hormones, and reduces stress, all of which enhance fertility for both men and women.
A qualified practitioner can perform acupuncture safely during pregnancy. Acupuncture is safe and effective for managing pregnancy symptoms and preparing for childbirth.
Traditional Chinese Medicine and conventional medicine are used together in Asia and increasingly in western medicine. This combination extends to GP practices and hospital care in China. The key is to have a practitioner who understands how to use TCM in conjunction with ongoing treatments, in order to ensure long term benefits for the client. I believe that my medical training and experience alongside my acupuncture and TCM expertise can yield long term health benefits for my clients.
