Acupuncture Acupuncture is an ancient system of healing that has been practised for over 3000 years in China. According to traditional Chinese philosophy, our health depends on the body's energy known as Qi moving in a smooth and balanced way through meridians (invisible channels). Qi consists of equal and opposite qualities (Yin and Yang) and when these become unbalanced, illness may result. Acupuncture is a form of therapy in which fine, disposable needles are inserted into specific points on the body. A slight tingling sensation is felt as the energy flows along the meridians. The aim of acupuncture is to regulate the flow of vital energy and stimulate the body's own healing response to help restore its natural balance. Modern studies have proven that acupuncture is highly effective in treating a wide range of conditions, from pain problems, menopause, migraine and skin disorders, as well as emotional matters, etc. Acupressure (Tuina massage) Acupressure is based on similar principles to acupuncture. No needles are used but pressure is applied with hands & fingers to stimulate energy meridians. Tuina is widely used for stress, anxiety, pain and for general well being. Many types are available from full body massage to leg and head-neck-shoulder massage. Chinese Reflexology Chinese foot massage is to stimulate the nerve endings in feet to improve circulation, activate Qi in the body and also promote relaxation and health. All begin with a mixed herbal foot soak followed by your preferred combination of scrub, cream & massage. Gift vouchers available Fees Consultation Free
