Acupuncture is a system of healing which has been practised in china and other Eastern countries for thousands of years. Although often perceived in the West as merely a form of pain relief, Acupuncture in fact is used to treat a very wide range of problems. Some of the conditions commonly treated include:
- musculoskeletal
- mental/emotional problems
- migranes/headaches
- asthma
- gynaechological problems
- stress/insomnia
- back pain/sciatica
- sinus conditions/hay fever
- arthritis
- digestive disorders
According to traditional Chinese philosophy our health is dependent on the body's motivating energy known as Qi-moving in a smooth and balanced way through a series of channels beneath the skin. Qi consists of equal and opposite qualities - yin & yang - and when these become unbalanced, illness may result. By inserting fine needles in to the channels of energy, an acupuncuturist can stimulate the body's own healing response and help restore its natural balance. The flow of Qi can be disturbed by a number of factors. These include emotional states such as anxiety, stress, anger, fear or grief, poor nutrition, weather conditions, hereditary factors, infections, poisons & traumas. The principle aim of acupuncture in treating the whole person is to recover the equilibrium between the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of the individual.
