What is acupuncture?
Traditional acupuncture is a healthcare system practiced in the East for over 2,000 years, which takes a holistic approach viewing the mind and body as connected. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, it’s based on the idea that in health, the flow of 'Qi' (vital energy) should flow smoothly around the body. When the smooth flow of Qi becomes blocked, this is when pain in the body and other health issues start to occur.
How does acupuncture work?
Acupuncture works by helping to clear the blockage and restablish a healthy flow of Qi. Thus bringing an individual back to health by restoring balance, well-being and harmony within the body. It can be used to address a broad spectrum of physical, mental, and emotional concerns. Renowned for its calming and restorative effects, it offers a transformative path to better health.
Some seek it for specific issues, while others use it proactively to maintain health and prevent future problems. Its holistic approach to health focuses on whole-body balance, getting to the root of the problem, rather than just individual symptoms. Depending on your health needs, supplementary treatments such as cupping therapy, guasha, tuina or electroacupuncture can be used alongside acupuncture to support you back to health.
