Traditional Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a holistic system of medicine, which originated in China over 5000 years ago as part of traditional Chinese medicine. Acupuncture is widely practised in China, Korea, Japan and other eastern countries.

Acupuncture began with the discovery that stimulating certain areas of the skin affects the functioning of specific internal organs. It evolved into system of medicine, as the relationship between skin and the organs was better understood and more sensitive ways of stimulation were devised.

From the Chinese medicine perspective, our health is dependent on the body’s vital force (known as Qi), which travels around a series of channels (meridians) under the skin as well as through related internal organs. Acupuncture treatment, by inserting fine needles into specific points along these channels, can restore health by stimulating the body’s natural self-healing abilities.

Auricular (ear) Acupuncture

Auricular acupuncture is a deeply relaxing treatment and is very effective particularly for stress-related conditions such as anxiety, depression and insomnia, and detox or cravings (such as from smoking, alcohol or drugs). It is quick to administer and we will only have to ask you some basic questions.

Facial Revitalisation Acupuncture

Facial revitalisation is a natural technique which uses Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncture techniques to promote & maintain a reduction of signs of ageing by increasing the blood and energy flow to specific facial areas where that have held tension over the years, have become puffy or lifeless, or where wrinkles have formed. Its results are more subtle than a surgical facelift, but create a deeper look of health, vitality and well-being. It is also a very relaxing treatment

How many treatments will I need?

For optimum results a course of 6 – 10 treatments is recommended (depending on the patient), however, benefits are usually gradual and can be seen after the second or third treatment.  After the initial course, maintenance treatments are recommended to maintain improvements.

Qi Gong classes

Qi Gong simply means energy or breath exercise. There are many different types of Qi Gong but all activate and cultivate the energy of the body, normally by combining the breath, movement and the mind’s intent.

Because Qi Gong, like Tai Ji, (Tai Chi) is born out of Taoist principles, its harmonising and unifying qualities always aim to restore or enhance the body’s natural abilities. The body’s systems have a natural affinity for homeostasis and the practice of Qi Gong encourages this natural ability for the body to heal itself and return to a balanced state. In Chinese medicine there is no separation between the mind and body, so by regulating the physical body the emotional aspects are also regulated. Qi Gong, like Tai Ji, induces a sense of relaxation and wellbeing that permeates the self on many levels, carrying over into daily life.
