Acupuncture is an ancient system of healing that has been practiced in China for thousands of years. According to traditional Chinese philosophy, health is dependent on the free flow of energy (Qi), through specific pathways in the body. This free flow can easily be disrupted, and when this happens illness may result. By inserting fine needles into specific points of the body, the flow of Qi may be manipulated and balance restored.
In the last ten years there has been an overwhelming amount of medical research produced which shows acupuncture to be of benefit in a diverse range of common problems. From skin conditions through to chonic diseases, acupuncture is increasingly becoming a first-line treatment that can improve or resolve problems and, in some cases, can avoid the need for medication.
