Overview of the treatment
Acupuncture is based on the theory that an energy force, Chi, flows through our body
along 12 special channels called meridians. As long as the energy can flow freely good
health is maintained, however, if meridians are blocked illness ensues.
The aim of Traditional Chinese Medicine is to treat the person rather than the disease.
It is one the oldest medicine in the world.
Ailments which can be treated by this therapy
Acupuncture can be used in treating a wide range of conditions and addictions
such as smoking and over-eating. Treatment reaction and progress depends on
the patient's constitution and the state of their immune system.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Digestive Disorders, Gynaecological Problems,
Headache / Migraine, Irregular Periods/ Menopause, Polycystic ovaries, Joint Pain,
Skin conditions, Sinusitis. Addiction, Anxiety, Depression, Phobias, Lack of confidence etc.
How is the treatment done
Acupuncture uses fine, disposable and sterile needles which are inserted at specific points
to unblock meridians which restore the flow of Chi. These points may also be treated by warming
with a burning herb, by gentle electrical pulse or by laser. The needles are thin like a hair and
certainly have nothing in common with a syringe needle. A slight pricking sensation is felt as
the needle pierces the skin and sometimes a tingling sensation is experiences while the needles
are in place. On average per treatment, two to eight points are needled bilaterally.
