What Conditions Can Be Treated?

It is used to treat the whole person and not just the individual symptoms. Acupuncture is a safe, natural, effective and relaxing means to treat a large variety of physical and emotional conditions.
Acupuncture can be used to treat almost any condition, including pain and disease.

Pain and disease are often caused by poor energy flows (known as "Qi") within the body. Acupuncture uses very fine needles to unblock, mobilise, rectify and regulate the energetic pathways of the body to treat and also prevent disease.

Examples are Pregnancy Acupuncture and IVF Acupuncture, while Needle-Free Laser Acupuncture is a modern application which uses the same ancient principles.


Acupuncture with Moxibustion

Acupuncture and moxibustion are important components of traditional Chinese medicine.

Moxibustion is the burning of a dried, spongy herb called mugwort which has warming and stimulating therapeutic properties. It can be wrapped around the tip of an inserted acupuncture needle to increase the stimulation of an acupoint. Or, the burning mugwort stick can be held above the area being treated to give a pleasant heating sensation which facilitates healing.

Acupuncture and moxibustion treatments are characterised by their amazingly rapid attainment of the desired results, their wide application, simple equipment, safe and easy techniques. They have therefore been widely accepted by the general population.


What To Expect During a Treatment?

Initial consultation normally takes 45 minutes which includes treatment necessary on the day. Sometimes it will take up to 1 hour if the nature of your consultation is more complicated.

Standard consultation takes 30 minutes.

Acupuncture, Moxibustion, Cupping or Ear Reflexology will be used accordingly in the session. Herbs (patent or individually formulated) prescribed at extra cost. You can also book for a longer session, in which we can combine extra services for you such as Tuina or Acupressure.
