What is acupuncture? Acupuncture is an ancient system of healing developed over 1000 years in China and other Eastern countries, which is increasingly being recognised as 'effective' by Western health professionals and patients. It is based upon detecting disharmonies within a person's body and mind. These are determined by asking questions about presenting symptoms, life style, sleeping patterns, emotions, and feelings as well as examining the tongue, its colour, shape, and coating and taking a series of pulses on both wrists. A traditional diagnosis is then made leading to a treatment plan which will primarily involve the use of fine needles inserted into carefully chosen points.
What conditions are treated?
Acupuncture can and is used to treat a wide variety of conditions. Illness is seen to result in an imbalance of energy, and treatment can benefit almost any ill person as long as a degenerative process is not too extensive. Typical conditions treated are:-
anxiety/depression,
arthritis,
asthma,
pain,
eczema and skin complaints,
sports injuries and soft-tissue disorders,
allergies and hay fever,
migraine,
menstrual disorders,
infertility,
gastrointestinal problems
Acupuncture is a safe treatment with no dangerous side-effects. Acupuncture is also helpful for people trying to overcome addictions such as those related to smoking, alcohol, food or drugs.
Some people may have acupuncture as a preventive measure to strengthen their constitution, or because they feel unwell in themselves without being 'ill' in the Western sense. It can also be used alongside conventional medicine in the treatment of both acute and chronic disease.
