Acupuncture is a system of healing which has been practiced in China and the East for thousands of years.
Acupuncture aims to improve physical, mental and spiritual health by re-establishing the balance of vital energy (chi) in the meridians that run in a network around the body. Though often prescribed as a pain relief, acupuncture is, in fact, used to treat a wide range of illnesses and conditions.
The flow of chi can be affected by such factors as emotional states (stress, grief, anger, sadness and fear) as well as poor nutrition, trauma, the weather, infections and genetic tendencies.
The benefits of acupuncture frequently include more than relief from a particular condition. Being a holistic treatment (it treats the whole person) many people find it can lead to increased energy, better appetite, improved sleep leading to enhanced quality of life and sense of well-being. |

| | Conditions that can be helped with acupuncture include anxiety, arthritis, muscular and skeletal problems, asthma, bronchitis, emotional problems, digestive problems, fatigue, sleeplessness, high blood pressure, infertility, menstrual problems, migraines, skin conditions, ME, MS and trauma to name but a few.
Treatments are individual and often include advice on diet and lifestyle. Depending on the condition, your initial visit can last up to an hour and a half. This consultation consists of taking a case history, which includes questions about your medical history, digestion, sleep patterns and energy so an entire picture of you may be established. Subsequent sessions will usually last forty-five minutes. Initially you will need treatment on a weekly basis and then less frequently as things improve. Acupuncture goes very well with Naturopathy.
