Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture
- Rebalance your body
- Reduce pain
- Increase flexibility
Chinese Medicine offers a gentle approach to putting your body back in balance. As an holistic approach, it is particularly good at treating conditions where there is an internal imbalance; conditions such as period, pregnancy, menopause, IBS, worry and anxiety.
Chinese Medicine is a complete medical system with a history of thousands of years. The basis of treatment starts with questioning, observation, pulse and tongue diagnosis to work out in which way your body is out of balance, called Syndrome Differentiation. It also treats local pain problems with ‘Ah shi’ (literally translates as ‘that’s it’) point needling.
Treatment is a combination of herbal medicine, acupuncture, diet, massage and exercise.
The effect of generating chi or ‘vital energy’ can be experienced through t’ai chi or qigong.
Most people have heard of acupuncture, and this is normally western acupuncture which combines needling to local areas of pain or spasm, ‘Ah shi’ points, sometimes called trigger points, plus some use of Chinese acupuncture points, but without reference to the principles and theory of Syndrome Differentiation.
