Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a system of healing that has been used in
China for thousands of years.
It involves the insertion of very fine needles into the body
in order to balance the clients' energy and vitality.
This energy is known as 'Qi' and flows through channels or
meridians, throughout the body.
Acupuncture helps to stimulate the flow of Qi through the
meridians to help to restore balance and harmony - an imbalance
in energy can be the result of many different causes - including
emotions, lifestyle, diet, hereditary factors and many more.
It is an holistic form of treatment as it works on the mind,
body and spirit, treating the whole of the person at the same
time.
It is considered a very effective form of preventative medicine
too.
The treatment involves a process of re-establishing the energy
balance within the body. The first treatment includes an in-depth
talk about you and your health and medical history - both
family and personal.
This first session will usually last between 60 and 90 minutes,
with any subsequent visits lasting between 45 and 60 minutes.
