Acupuncture

An energetic medicine that's been used for over 5,000 years in order to promote the body/mind/spirit balance by harmonizing the yin and yang, thereby encouraging the smooth flow of Qi through the body.

Disharmonies within a person’s body and mind are detected by asking questions about presenting symptoms, life style, sleeping patterns, emotions, and feelings as well as examining the tongue, its colour, shape, and coating and taking a series of pulses on both wrists.

A traditional diagnosis is then made leading to a treatment plan which will primarily involve the use of fine needles inserted into carefully chosen points.

Typical conditions treated are:

• anxiety/depression
• arthritis
• asthma
• pain
• eczema
• sports injuries
• allergies and hayfever
• migraine
• menstrual disorders
• gastrointestinal problems
• pregnancy management &delivery

It is also used in a preventative manner to keep the body in tune.
