Introducing AcupunctureAcupuncture is a system of healing which has been practised and refined in China for at least 2500 years. In Chinese Medicine, vital life energy known as qi, circulates in the body through meridians, also known as pathways or channels. When energy is flowing smoothly, we are nourished on a physical, mental and emotional level; we flourish as human beings. However, this energetic flow can sometimes get stuck or become deficient, manifesting in the body as physical discomfort or pain. Or we might feel depressed, anxious or simply just not our normal selves. Trauma, infections, stress and poor diet are some of the causes of ill health in Chinese Medicine. Treatment involves the insertion of fine needles in the skin which stimulates and harmonizes the energy in the meridian. This improves the functioning of the organ the meridian flows through. Once a more balanced flow is established during a course of treatment, health is restored to the individual. When a person comes to see an acupuncturist, they might present with many symptoms and often a complex pattern of disharmony is recorded by the practitioner. Each person is different, so the degree of disharmony is noted, and as a result, the person receives a truly individualised and tailored treatment. The ultimate task of the practitioner is to ascertain what the root cause of ill health is, and treating this often achieves long lasting health benefits, not just temporary symptomatic relief. |
