Acupuncture

Acupuncture utilises fine needles that are inserted into specific meridians in the body. Acupuncture is a very effective method to eliminate or reduce pain, and is also extremely effective for the treatment of internal issues as well.

A typical confusion about Acupuncture is that there are particular Acupuncture points that cure particular illnesses.

Actually, the treatments and needling points are uniquely customised for the individual. It is more appropriate to say that specific Acupuncture points cure specific imbalances. Two patients with the same symptoms or illness may have totally different imbalances and therefore totally different Acupuncture treatments.

Chinese Herbal Medicine

The act of Chinese herbal medicine is an art; to blend herbs into simply the right equation takes a lot of knowledge and skill. A formula may contain up to 10-15 herbs. Every formula comprises of a central herb, a couple of herbs to help, and a messenger herb to take the pharmaceutical to the site of the "injury". Every herb in the equation has a unique part, working synergistically with the others to achieve the restorative impact intended.

Chinese herbal medicine is traditionally used for the imbalance in internal organs. It is commonly utilised as a complement to Acupuncture, and the two are often combined in the same treatment. Each system affects Qi of the body in unique ways. In most circumstances, herbal remedies are used to supplement the body’s Qi, and Acupuncture is used to manipulate Qi, focusing it where it is required.
