What is Acupuncture?

 

Acupuncture which is a central part of Traditional and Modern Chinese Medicine has been practiced in China and other Eastern Countries for over 2,500 years.

 

 

It is a system of healing which focuses on:-

  • improving the overall wellbeing of a patient by strengthening and balancing the energy system
  • treating the cause of the condition which is very different to Western Medicine
  • preventing the return of symptoms by maintaining strength and balance of the engery systems

Traditional Chinese philosophy views our health as:-

  • dependant on the free flow and balanced movement of the body's energy(Qi - pronounced Chee)
  • energy flowing through a series of channels beneath the skin
  • each channel affecting a different part of the body

Dis-ease of the body can be caused by a number of factors which include:-

  • prolonged emotional states such as anxiety, stress, anger, fear or grief
  • weather conditions and lingering viruses
  • hereditary factors
  • infections and poisons
  • trauma

In western medicine acupuncture is often used for pain relief.  However, traditionally trained practitioners of Chinese Medicine can use acupuncture to aid a variety of conditions.
