Traditional Chinese Medicine
Modern Western medicine cannot yet explain how acupuncture works. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is base on ancient Chinese theories of the flow of qi (chi) through distinct channels tha t cover the body somewhat like the nerves and blood vessels. According to this theory, the major component of TCM (Acupuncture) adjusts the flow of qi in the body leading it to areas where it is insufficient and draining it from areas where is stuck and/or superabundant. In this way, acupuncture restores the harmonious balance of the body and its parts. It promotes and re-establishes the free flow of qi.

Is Acupuncture safe?

When performed by a competently trained registered professional, acupuncture is extremely safe. Practitioners use individually package, sterile, disposable needles.

What can I expect after treatments?

Patients often experience dramatic results in the first treatment. Some patients experience an immediate total or partial relief of their pain or other symptoms. This relief may last or some pain may return. In a few cases, there may be no immediate relief only to notice the pain diminish over the next couple of days. Generally, you should expect to feel better.

Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture truly go hand in hand

Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture balance each other and treat the body from both sides of the spectrum. Although, it is common to only receive Acupuncture treatments or to only take Chinese Herbal Medicine, the combination of both can deliver outstanding results. After an in depth consultation, a combination of Chinese Herbs will be chosen to create a formula. Herbs are chosen carefully and formulas are administered to each client according to symptom and the individual’s body constitution.

The positive aspects and benefits of taking Chinese Herbal Medicine

Although Traditional Western medication can work very quickly it sometimes only masks the symptoms, while Chinese Herbal Medicine treats the source of the problem and can often cure it.
Finally, Chinese Herbs do not have to be administered for years or for life. Just long enough for the body to make the shift that is necessary to alleviate symptoms.

Please keep in mind, each formula is tailored made for each individual, so sharing of your Chinese Herbal formula is not recommended. And remember, self medicating with Chinese Herbs can cause undesirable effects, so always work with a trained and registered Chinese herbalist.


Acupuncture

Acupuncture is recognised by the World Health Organisation and therefore it’s covered on many health insurance policies as a preventative health aid. The ancient Chinese medicine has been used for more than 3000 years and works by clearing energy blockages from the body through clearing the acupoints, resulting in the rebalancing of Qi (Pronounced Chee) or energy flow.

The treatment has been used to relieve a host of symptoms experienced regularly in our western lifestyles, including:

  • Asthma
  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  • Incontinence
  • Headache/Migraines
  • Hypertension
  • Fatigue
  • Premenstrual Syndrome
  • Back Pain
  • Peptic Ulcer
  • Allergies
  • Digestive Disorders
  • Infertility
  • Insomnia
  • Chronic Pain
  • Arthritis
  • Depression/Anxiety
  • Weight Management
  • Menstrual Disorders
  • Nausea
  • Indigestion
  • Skin Disorders
  • Morning Sickness
  • Cold and Flu
  • Diarrhoea/Xonstipation
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome
  • Back and Neck Pain
  • Menopausal Syndrome

Despite the interesting-looking porcupine images you may have, Acupuncture is extremely safe and if done correctly you won’t feel anything except a relaxing, calming energy. If you have a specific area to focus on, for example a car accident injury or digestive problem, you may need just a few points treated and a session can often be done in less than an hour.

Western medicine focuses on treating illness, or symptoms of illness, but Eastern Medicine works to prevent illness from occurring, and reoccurring. Regular Acupuncture can help to maintain good health before problems occur, as well as helping to reduce or remove symptoms of existing illness.
