Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient system of healing and began with the discovery that stimulating certain areas of the skin affected the functioning of specific organs. It evolved into a system of healing as the connection between the skin and organs was better understood and more sensitive ways of stimulation were devised.

Powerful, effective and safe

In the West, Acupuncture has been misleadingly publicised as being good only for specific conditions - for example, pain or weight loss. In fact, due to its power to stimulate our own healing response, it is effective for a wide variety of conditions. This overall therapeutic effect is one of its great strengths.

As the needles used in Acupuncture are much finer than those used for injections, only a slight prick may be felt as the needle goes through the skin. When the needle reaches the desired point below the surface of the skin, there is another sensation often described as tingling or a dull ache. It is rarely described as painful and lasts only one or two seconds.
