Acupuncture is a complete system of healing practiced in China for thousands of years. It is well known for the treatment of
pain but can also treat a wide range of illnesses. Its focus is on improving the overall well being of the patient, rather
than the isolated treatment of specific symptoms.
Traditional Chinese philosophy is based on
the idea that our health is dependant on the body’s motivating energy -
called Qi – moving in a smooth and balanced way through a series of channels beneath the skin. By inserting fine needles
into these channels the body’s own healing response can be stimulated.
The benefits of acupuncture frequently include
more than just relief from a particular condition. Many people find that it can also lead to increased energy levels, better
appetite and sleep as well as an enhanced sense of overall well being.
