| Acupuncture is a system of healing which has been practiced in China for thousands of years. In traditional acupuncture the practitioner assists the body to heal itself through adjusting the balance of energy known as Qi, through the insertion of fine needles at precise locations.
When Qi becomes depleted, blocked or is unable to flow freely then an imbalance results and illness can occur. Acupuncture promotes the natural movement of this energy, which will relieve pain, restore energy and improve and maintain individual health and well-being.
The benefits of acupuncture include: -
- Relief from symptoms
- Creates an enhanced sense of happiness and well-being
- Increased energy levels and improved levels of concentration
- Better sleep
- Improved appetite
Acupuncture can be used alongside conventional western medicine in the treatment of both acute and chronic conditions. The effectiveness of acupuncture has been recognised by the world health organisation for its success in the treatment of over 40 different disorders.
