Hornsby Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine Clinic

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a Chinese practice that involves the insertion of fine needles into the skin at specific points to cure disease or relieve pain. It has been used for over 2000 years in China.

It is effective for the alleviation of energy blockages and encourages the normal flow of qi through the individual.

Chinese Herbalism

Chinese Herbalism is part of an integrated system of primary health care, known as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that has an uninterrupted history of development dating back thousands of years in China and other parts of East Asia.

Cupping

Cupping involves the drawing of blood to the surface of the body by use of a glass vessel evacuated by heat.

Acupressure, Massage and Bodywork

Acupressure is an alternative medicine modality that is similar in principle to acupuncture. It is focused on the concept of life energy which flows through “meridians” in the body. A treatment session involves physical pressure which is applied to acupuncture points with the aim of clearing blockages in these meridians. Pressure is often applied with either the elbow, hand or with various devices.
