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.
