Acupuncture

Acupuncture treatment involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific sites (acupuncture points) along the body’s meridians to clear energy blockages and encourage the normal flow of Qi through the individual. The practitioner may also stimulate the acupuncture points using other methods, including moxibustion, cupping, laser therapy, electro-stimulation and massage, in order to re-establish the flow of Qi.

In addition, acupuncture has been used for centuries in China to treat a host of other problems, such as knee pain, sprains and strains, and most gynaecological complaints. Most patients who have been treated by acupuncture notice a considerable improvement in their general health. This is because acupuncture can correct those minor disturbances in health which are undetected by other methods of diagnosis, and which if they remained untreated could in later years easily turn into a serious overt and easily recognized disease. The sensitivity of Chinese pulse diagnosis makes it possible to detect minor disturbances, enabling immediate treatment to be given at an early stage.

The above list of diseases might seem to some people rather long, as if acupuncture were to be regarded as a general panacea. It should be realized however that acupuncture is not a single drug, such as penicillin, which is therapeutically applicable to only a limited variety of infections. It is, on the contrary, a complete system of medicine which encompasses the whole field of therapeutics.

As a natural form of healing, acupuncture has the following benefits:

  • provides drug-free pain relief
  • effectively treats a wide range of acute and chronic ailments
  • treats the underlying cause of disease and illness as well as the symptoms
  • provides an holistic approach to the treatment of disease and illness, linking body, mind and emotions
  • assists in the prevention against disease and illness as well as the maintenance of general well-being
