Plus it explains the often unexpected benefits experienced with holistic treatment – a renewed feeling of energy and wellbeing, a connection with self/spirit or just improved sleep!

Acupuncture has been used in the far east for over 5,000 years to balance and harmonise the body’s energy or ‘qi’. Using fine sterile needles to stimulate specific points on the body, acupuncture naturally restores the health of mind and body. During treatment there is usually a tingling feeling or numbness that lasts a moment. By initiating the body to repair itself and boost the immune system, acupuncture can correct an imbalance and restore the natural flow of your vital energy.

Research has found that acupuncture also triggers the release of pain relieving endorphins, encouraging the body to heal. It can also help to regulate our response to stress by calming the nervous system.

In addition to treating aches and pains, acupuncture can treat many other conditions; anxiety, asthma, depression and tension, fatigue, hypertension, insomnia, IBS, migraines, and stress are just a few.

Auricular acupuncture can help if you are trying to give up smoking or alcohol and can be used to treat pain or anxiety. Ear seeds can be applied and left in for the patient to stimulate when needed.
