What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a tried and tested system of complementary medicine. The Chinese and other eastern cultures have been using acupuncture for over two thousand years to restore, promote and maintain good health.
According to traditional Chinese philosophy, our physical and emotional wellbeing is dependent on the balanced flow of energy, otherwise known as ëqií through the body. When the flow of ëqií becomes stuck or unbalanced it can lead to ill health.
Through the insertion of ultra fine needles into specific points along these channels of energy, acupuncture can stimulate the bodyís own healing response by removing any blockages and helping to restore its natural balance.
Nowadays more and more people are turning to acupuncture as a safe, natural medicine to treat long standing conditions or where conventional treatments have not helped.
Acupuncture is now widely used and accepted all over the world and in the UK there are currently over 2800 qualified acupuncturists registered with the British Acupuncture Council.
Who has acupuncture?
Many people come to acupuncture for help with specific symptoms or conditions, and some because they simply feel generally unwell. Others choose acupuncture to enhance their feeling of wellbeing. Acupuncture is considered suitable for all ages, including babies and children. It can also be used alongside conventional medicine.
