Acupuncture is a system of healing which has been practiced in China for thousands of years. It is used to treat people with a wide range of illnesses. Its focus being on improving the overall well being of yourself. According to traditional Chinese philosophy, our motivating energy – Qi – runs through a series of channels in our body. Qi consists of equal and opposite qualities – known as Yin and Yang – when these become unbalanced, we become ill. Acupuncture seeks to stimulate our body’s response system, by inserting fine needles into the channels of energy, thus restoring our natural balance.

Very fine needles are inserted at specific points on your body producing a sensation of tingling or a dull ache. They are left in position either for a few seconds or up to 20 minutes. During the treatment you may feel heaviness in your limbs or a pleasant feeling of relaxation.
