About the Business

Acupuncture is one of the fastest growing and most popular complementary therapies in the West as research is showing it to be helpful for many conditions. Yet, it is one of the most ancient systems of treatment known to man. Its origins in China date back nearly 3000 years.

Individuals may seek acupuncture for many reasons such as aches and pains, physical problems, mental or emotional conditions, chronic and acute illness or as a preventative treatment. The use of Acupuncture for certain conditions has been validated by the World Health Organisation, The National Health Service (NHS) and other medical organisations.

Research carried out on 495 patients at the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine found that 90.7% reported improvement from having acupuncture treatment. It is safe, gentle and effective, using ultra thin needles to activate the body's own healing systems. As we live longer we need to ensure that we do everything possible to remain healthy and active.

About Acupuncture

Acupuncture originated in Asia around 3,000 years ago. Obviously little was known then of the complex bio chemical processes which occur in our bodies. However, they did have an overall concept of the body as an energetic system. They called this energy Qi (chi).

The flow of Qi can be affected by many factors. These can be emotional such as fear, anger, grief or worry, hereditary problems, infections, viruses, injury or trauma, the climate, poor nutrition and lifestyle. When qi is disturbed then physical amd emotional symptoms occur.

The skill of the practitioner is in identifying the root cause of your symptoms and restoring the equilibrium in your body and mind. We do this by carefully selecting points on the body and using ultra thin needles to restore the flow of Qi.

One of the strengths of acupuncture is that it treats the whole person so that not only your symptoms but also your general health and wellbeing should improve.
