Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a very relaxing experience. Many people experience a profound sense of calm and a heightened feeling of well being after their acupuncture treatment.
Acupuncture is the gentle insertion of hair-fine, sterile, single-use needles to elicit your body's innate healing response. Through the stimulation of specific points, acupuncture promotes the smooth flow of qi and blood that is paramount for your good health and wellbeing.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
An integral branch of Chinese medicine, Chinese herbs are a safe and effective way of treating persistent, chronic conditions and accelerating the healing process in acute illness.
Herbs are prescribed in tailor-made formulas to suit your individual needs. The herbal products consist of natural plant parts such as roots, stems, branches, bark, leaves, flowers, fruit or seeds, and natural minerals.
Moxibustion, Cupping & Gua Sha
Moxibustion: is a warming treatment that is often used in conjunction with acupuncture to invigorate, nourish, and smooth qi flow in the meridians. Its gentle, penetrating warmth soaks into the muscles, making it particularly good for pain relief.
Cupping: is a dispersive therapy where smooth glass cups are used to create suction over a specific area. It provides very powerful pain relief and the effects are usually immediate.
Gua Sha: involves the gentle rubbing of the skin with the smooth edge of a porcelain spoon. It is mostly used in cases of muscular pain, myofascial contraction, immune dysfunction, and traumatic injury.
Lifestyle & Dietary Management
Lifestyle and dietary adjustments are often recommended to aid recovery from illness or to re-establish healthy habits for your general wellbeing. Simple modifications to your dietary and lifestyle habits can greatly enhance treatment outcomes and minimise the total number of treatments needed.
