Acupuncture

Acupuncture sits within the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) health field and has been used for thousands of years. Acupuncture consists of inserting fine needles (about the width of a human hair) into specific points on your skin. The goal is to restore balance and encourage the body to heal itself. Performed by a skilled practitioner – an acupuncturist – acupuncture can be a safe and effective treatment for a range of disorders.
In the most general sense, disease occurs when your Yin & Yang energies are out of balance, which can manifest as disharmony of your organ systems, digestion, hormone production, mental states and a dysfunction of a number of physiological systems. Acupuncture aims to harmonise these interdependent forces in order to ensure your energetic and physiological systems are functioning optimally.

Chinese Herbal Medicine

Chinese Herbal Medicine is a holistic approach that utilises natural substances to promote healing and balance within the body. It is based on the ancient principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which views health as a harmonious balance of body, mind, and spirit.
Herbal treatments consist of various plant-based materials, including roots, bark, flowers, and leaves, that are carefully selected to address specific health concerns or to enhance overall wellbeing. Each herb has unique properties and effects, and they are often combined into formulas tailored to individual needs.
Practitioners conduct a thorough assessment of each patient's condition, taking into account their physical symptoms, emotional state, and lifestyle factors. This personalised approach ensures that the herbal remedies not only target the immediate issues but also support long-term health.
Chinese Herbal Medicine can help with a variety of conditions, including digestive disturbances, respiratory issues, skin problems, and emotional imbalances. With a focus on restoring the body's natural balance, this ancient practice offers a gentle yet powerful alternative or complement to conventional treatments.
Chinese Herbal Medicine will be incorporated as part of a holistic treatment plan and prices will vary depending on the type and quantity of herbs prescribed.

Cosmetic Acupuncture

Cosmetic Acupuncture involves inserting specialised acupuncture needles into problem areas of the face in order to stimulate blood flow which increases the flow of nutrients, oxygen and hydration in the area leading to a reduction of fine lines and an improvement in skin tone and quality.
Additionally, the micro-trauma caused by needling increases collagen production by stimulating the body’s own healing response and promoting fibroblast cells to increase the production of collagen and elastin. When the body lays down collagen in the areas of wrinkles it gives the effect of filling them in.
When needling the face for cosmetic enhancement, a number of techniques can be used depending on the client's main cosmetic concerns. In general, the premise of Facial Cosmetic Acupucnture is to promote the circulation of Qi and Blood in order to influence the flow of nutrients and oxygen to the facial soft tissue as well as the removal of metabolic waste.
Cosmetic Acupuncture has a number of mechanisms underlying its effectiveness including balancing Qi, harmonising the Zang Fu (body organ systems), increasing blood flow at the site of needle insertion and increasing muscle tone.
As there are a range of intrinsic and extrinsic factors that influence the aging process, all Cosmetic Acupuncture treatments include constitutional body TCM acupuncture in order to treat your organism as a whole.
