Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves the insertion of hair thin needles into a variety of points over the body surface. The needles are inserted to various depths ranging from 1mm to 1 inch depending on the local anatomy and are retained for 15-30 minutes depending on the treatment strategy.
What Does Acupuncture Feel Like?
Due to the fine diameter of the needles, acupuncture is not generally painful. It may, however, produce a variety of transient sensations including:
- A dull ache
- A feeling of warmth
- A subtle electrical sensation
How Does Acupuncture Work?
Acupuncture is based upon the concept of meridians, which are a system of channels that traverse the interior and exterior of the body. These channels act as a connective network that allows for the flow of energy throughout the entire body.
Therefore by inserting needles at various points along these channels, energy can be released where it is obstructed or induced to where it is deficient. This process can be applied to almost any medical condition, as rebalancing energy flow encourages the body’s natural healing abilities.
Why Should You Give Acupuncture a Try?
Research has indicated that acupuncture stimulates both the peripheral and central nervous system, while also encouraging the brain to release morphine-like substances called endorphins. These explanations do not fully explain the complex functioning of this system, however, they do explain acupunctures universal ability to relieve pain, while calming and relaxing.

Cupping
Cupping is an extremely old technique which was used throughout the ancient world both in the East and the West. Essentially it involves applying circular glass suction cups to various areas of the body in order to promote local circulation and the release of tension.
How Does It Work?
This process involves a warm suction sensation that is not generally painful and can be applied in two ways. The first involves applying cups to various points along the meridian system to generate circulation and harmonise bodily systems that are unbalanced. The second method involves using cups locally on areas of soft tissue that are tense.
With both these methods the suction of the cup causes the soft tissue beneath the skin to expand and relax. Subsequently, the local blood circulation is improved and any latent toxicity and stagnation can be released.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion involves the burning of the herb Artemisia and the application of the heat produced to acupuncture points. This is an extremely relaxing process that gently warms, invigorates and tonifies the body without causing any irritation.
It can be applied to many conditions that involve feeling cold and or tired and is also applied commonly in winter to boost the immune system.
