ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is used throughout the world alongside Western and other integrated therapies. It's focus is to improve the overall wellbeing of the patient, rather then just being an isolated treatment for specific symptoms. The use of tongue diagnosis along with observational skills and questioning of the patient lead to a treatment designed to treat all aspects of a patients health concern. The practitioner will gently insert very fine sterile, single use needles into acupuncture points to stimulate the flow of Qi (pronounced chee) or body's bio-energy and chemistry.
This ancient and dynamic practice is validated by today's Western scientific tradition and research.
Acupuncture has been shown to raise levels of specific hormones, prostaglandins, white blood cells, gamma globulins and antibodies, generally helping the body to maintain its natural balance and support its own immune system processes. It has also been shown to release the body's own pain killers the endorphins.
