Acupuncture
Acupuncture is one of the main forms of treatment in traditional Chinese medicine.
It involves the insertion of fine sterilised single use needles into specific therapeutic points on the body known as acupoints. This process adjusts and alters the body's energy flow known as Qi (pronounced Chee) into healthier patterns. It is used to treat a wide variety of illnesses and health conditions.
A pleasant acupuncture experience can be expected with our gentle painless insertion technique.
Traditional Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can be traced back at least 5,000 years establishing it as one of the oldest and long standing health systems in the world.
It encompasses many different treatment techniques used either by themselves or as a combination to enhance a treatment principle restoring health faster.
Other principals include: - Acupuncture
- Chinese Herbal
- Cupping
- Shi Lao (Dietary Therapy)
Assessment and diagnosis is used to establish an individualised treatment plan. Once this is established and after careful consultation explaining your condition and treatment, a formula suited to your diagnosis is prescribed.
Formulas are dispensed in a convenient capsule from high grade Chinese ingredients. All medication does not contain contra banned ingredients. No medicine is sourced from endangered animals.
House of Qi complies and promotes the Traditional Chinese Medicine Endangered Species Certification Scheme (ESCS).
The purposes of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Endangered Species Certification Scheme (ESCS) are:
To raise the level of awareness, education and compliance with the legal requirements associated with the international wildlife trade;
To recognise professionals and traders involved in the ethical research, recommendation, prescription, supply, export or import of traditional Chinese medicines;
To provide a credible mechanism to acknowledge and support professionals and traders to publicly promote that they do not use or support the use of Chinese medicines containing illegally traded wildlife ingredients.
Cupping
Cupping is the process of applying round glass cups to the skin. Before being applied a Taper flame is briefly inserted into the cup, exhausting all the oxygen inside, which creates a vacuum seal using negative (tensional) pressure through a decrease in atmospheric pressure. This acts to lift the tissue therefore changing pressure under the skin and in the surrounding muscle and fascia to alleviate stagnation and opens the meridians.
House of Qi effectively treats the following disorders using cupping:-- Colds and Flu
- Heat Pathogens
- Pain
- Musculo-skeletal Pain
- Lung Conditions
- Stimulate Blood Circulation
Moxibustion
Moxibustion is the burning of the medicinal herb Artemisia Vulgaris also known by its common name: Mugwort or Moxa.
House of Qi applies Moxa using cones to enhance the patient’s experience and to increase the success of the treatment.
Moxa cones are placed onto the acupuncture needles and lit. Patients experience a pleasant heat sensation that penetrates through the needle into the specified acupuncture point.
House of Qi uses Moxibustion to benefit the following and many more disorders:-- Expel Colds
- Stagnation
- Pain
- Comfort, relief and cure of deficiency based gastro-intestinal disorders
- Menstruation Disorders

Your acupuncturist may also check your pulses, tongue and conduct a physical exam. This information is then collaborated to create a complete accurate and comprehensive diagnosis of where Qi has become blocked or imbalanced.

How long before I feel better?
