About Acupunture

Acupuncture is a gentle, non-toxic and proven medicine that has been
practiced in China and other Eastern countries for thousands of years.
It works on all levels of the body, mind and spirit to help re-establish
right functioning, and to prevent or treat disease.

Although often described as a means of pain relief, it is in fact used to treat people with a wide range of acute and chronic illnesses. It can help people
who, while they have no 'labeled' complaint, feel they are unbalanced, who
feel distress on the physical, mental or spirit level.

When we get a symptom such as pain, tiredness or anxiety, our bodies are sending us signals of imbalance. If we ignore these signals we can develop illnesses. The principle method of treatment, therefore, involves rebalancing
the body’s flow of motivating energy (Qi).

The practitioner assesses the energetic imbalance of the patient at an
elemental level and uses the needles to stimulate the body’s own healing responses and help restore its natural balance.
