25 Years of Practice in Delhi

Meet Dr. Abid

I grew up in my father's acupuncture clinic. As a boy, I watched people come in with pain or paralysis and leave feeling better. I wanted to understand how a few needles could do that, and I still do.

I studied homeopathy (BHMS, North Gujarat University, Ahmedabad) and then took a Diploma in Acupuncture in Baroda. I'm a registered homeopathic practitioner, so alongside acupuncture I can also prescribe homeopathic medicines. After that I started practising in Delhi, alongside my father. In 2001 we wrote a book together, Clinical and Practical Acupuncture.

Acupuncture has been my main work ever since. For 25 years I've treated difficult cases: autoimmune conditions, long-term pain, paralysis, and problems people had been told couldn't be helped. Over time I became just as interested in why acupuncture works, and in how the body and mind hold on to what we go through. That's what my books Beyond the Meridians and Beyond the Organs are about.

I've carried on the work my father started, and in 2026 I began teaching online too, with courses on Udemy. But you don't need to read my books or take a course to come and see me. Just come in and tell me what's wrong, and we'll start from there.

The Basics

What Is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a treatment from traditional Chinese medicine. I place very fine needles at chosen points on the body and leave them in while you rest.

In Chinese medicine, these points lie along meridians, the pathways the body's energy (qi) flows through, and needling them restores its balance. Research suggests the needles also work by stimulating nerves in the skin and muscles, which affects how the body handles pain.

The needles are far thinner than an injection needle. Most people feel only a light tingle or a dull ache, and many find the session relaxing.

Treatments

Problems Acupuncture Can Help With

At my clinic in Delhi, I plan each treatment around the person, alongside the care you already get from your doctor.

Back Pain

For lower-back pain, whether it started recently or has lasted for years.

  • In research, it eased pain about as well as common anti-inflammatory painkillers.
  • In studies, the benefit lasted up to a year after treatment ended.
  • American doctors' guidelines recommend it as a first step for long-term lower-back pain.

Sciatica and numbness in the leg

Individual results vary. Acupuncture is complementary and does not replace medical advice.

Choosing the Right Points

Beyond the Meridians

Meridians are the energy pathways that acupuncture works along. Drawing on his many years of practice, Dr. Abid shows how to choose the right points for each patient.

  • Eight special pathways: Goes beyond the main meridians to add the eight “extraordinary” meridians to the picture.
  • Logic plus instinct: Shows how careful reasoning and a practitioner's gut feeling work together to pick the most effective points.
  • Emotions and illness: Explains why many health problems have emotional roots, and why truly understanding the patient matters.
