Acupuncture
 

Acupuncture is a holistic system of medicine encompassing the whole person. It recognises and utilises the enormous potential of the human body to adjust, repair and rebalance itself. It offers individualised treatment based on analysing information obtained through listening, interviewing, observation, palpation and pulse taking.

Acupuncture originates in China, but is now used all over the world as knowledge of its benefits increases. Central to Traditional Chinese Medicine is the concept of Qi, the life force or vital energy which flows throughout the body. In a healthy person the Qi flows smoothly around the body. However, if this flow is disrupted for some reason, illness can occur.

Acupuncture can balance the flow of Qi and stimulate the body’s own healing by inserting very fine needles into specific points on the body.
