HOLISTIC HEALTH TREATMENTS
Mind, Body and Soul
Acupuncture aims to restore BALANCE and proper energy flow by stimulating specific acupuncture points. This is done by inserting thin, sterile needles into the skin at precise points along meridians.
Needles are left in for 20-30mins
When a needle is inserted it can:
stimulate the nervous system
release endorphins
activate various physiological responses
Influence on neurotransmitters and hormones
Modulate the central nervous system
Trigger-point-release muscle tension
Improve circulation
Help with psycho-emotional trauma and stress
Examples of what it can treat:
Pain: nausea, dizziness, menstrual disorders
Muscular skeletal: arthritis, sciatica, tennis elbow, back pain
Chronic fatigue/long covid symptoms
Digestive issues: acid reflux, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel
Skin problems; eczema, psoriasis
Fertility/pregnancy fatigue- induction support; regulating periods;
Stress and insomnia- quitting smoking
Anxiety- vagus nerve 'reset'
Other techniques like moxa (heat technique) cupping (seen here) and guasha- gentle scraping of the skin, using oil and a tool to invigorate blocked areas, can also be used to clear stagnation in the muscles and channels.
