Rebalance Your Energies
Acupuncture is calming and restorative, excellent for balancing energy and can stimulate self-healing. It helps with embedded long term physical and emotional issues. Symptoms commonly eased include fatigue, headaches, fertility issues, hip and back pain, tennis elbow, sciatica, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and hay fever.
How it works
Using very fine needles the treatment helps to rebalance and improve energy in the body. Moxibustion uses dried herbs to heat and stimulate points and channels in the body and helps the acupuncture treatment to work better. The session lasts an hour during which details are taken including your current health, previous issues and medications.
Your pulse is taken and tongue reviewed with treatment decided on based on the resulting diagnosis. Loose clothing is ideal as most points used are on arms and legs.
It is useful to have an outline of your past medical history and a clear impression of an ideal outcome from the treatment. The treatment may cause a little tiredness but not in every case.
