ACUPUNCTURE

A key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupuncture is one of the oldest and most respected healing practices in the world. Originating in China more than two thousand years ago, it is based on the principle that vital energy (qi) must flow in the correct strength and quality throughout the body in order to maintain optimal health and wellbeing. Practitioners look at pain and illness as signs that the body is out of balance, and as with all other therapeutic aspects of TCM, acupuncture works to restore balance and harmony.

Acupuncture is considered to be beneficial for many conditions including arthritis, rheumatism, digestive disorders, back pain, sciatica, headaches, gynecological issues, allergies and insomnia. It can also be effective in reducing stress and anxiety and for people working to overcome addictions.

ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENT

The initial consultation is designed to give you and your practitioner the opportunity to discuss symptoms you are concerned about in a holistic context. In addition to enquiries about your medical history and day-to-day lifestyle habits, you will be asked how you feel your health and wellbeing could be improved. A brief physical examination follows which allows the practitioner to formulate a suggested course of treatments which may involve a combination of acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, gua sha and massage.

FACIAL REJUVENATION ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture for facial rejuvenation is an effective procedure with a recorded history dating back to China’s Sung Dynasty when royal concubines used it to maintain beauty and good health. Facial acupuncture can naturally enhance blood and lymph circulation, improve muscle tone, increase the production of collagen and soften fine lines and wrinkles. Increasingly popular as an alternative to surgery, facial rejuvenation acupuncture has the added benefit of engendering a sense of harmony and wellbeing.

Deluxe Facial Rejuvenation combines facial acupuncture with extended facial massage using tools such as gua sha and jade rollers, plus neck and shoulder massage to melt away tension. This comprehensive treatment can take years off your face through improved skin elasticity and its natural lifting effect. A holistic approach is applied which can include body acupuncture to address underlying energy imbalances which can contribute to premature aging.
