Japanese Meridian Therapy Acupuncture
Consists of a variety of techniques using exceptionally fine needles that simply contact the skin or are painlessly inserted just below the skin.
Moxibustion
Also has a number of techniques that involve the burning of a herb (mugwort) on acupoints or local areas.
How does it work?
Acupuncture and moxibustion treatment aims to restore and strengthen the body’s natural ability to heal itself. This is achieved by regulating the flow of QI, BLOOD and FLUIDS in the body using specific MERIDIAN POINTS.
ORIENTAL DIAGNOSIS
(the foundation of which is PULSE DIAGNOSIS determines the points and techniques to be used – and yes, acupuncture works on everyone.
What diseases or conditions can be helped?
Most aspects of ill-health can be either rectified, improved or controlled (there are obviously some exceptions)
The cause and treatment of condition that diminish our quality of life.
Assuming we are born healthy, lifestyle choices or circumstance is the main reason our bodies become unbalanced, eg work, sport, diet, emotional stress, etc.
A DEFICIENCY must first exist in the body. When a pathogen (anything capable of causing disease) attacks the body, ill-health can occur. A SYNDROME then exists. Everyone has a deficiency. The degree is determined by constitutional strength and the impact of life.
DEFICIENCES that have the potential to cause disease and SYNDROMES are treated using a combination of acupuncture, moxibustion, oriented massage and occasionally Chinese herbs. Treatments are personalized to address the “cause” and the “manifestation” (the symptoms).
How often is treatment required and how long will it take to become healthier?
CHRONIC conditions (those that have existed for longer than about 3 months) are usually treated weekly. The treatment period depends on how long the condition has existed, and the strength of the syndrome. The range is typically 1-6 months with frequency extending to fortnightly or monthly as progress is made. ACUTE conditions are usually treated 2-3 times a week and usually resolved in 1-2 weeks.
Oriental Medicine has been working on millions of people for thousands of years. It is capable of giving everyone a better quality of life. Regular treatments (monthly-quarterly) can prevent many problems and maintain good health. Treatments are usually enjoyable and always interesting.
