What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is an ancient form of healing that has been used in the East for over 3,000 years. Today, it benefits us as a gentle, yet powerful form of treatment, as masters through the ages have reviewed it and adapted its use to pass on to future generations.

Although our bodies all have the potential for healing, it is easy for the smooth flow of our health to run into trouble. Certain factors about life, like the quality of our living environment and everyday stresses, as well as the ageing process can cause our bodies to "forget" their innate healing potential. Acupuncture works as a way of reminding the body how to look after itself, through minimum intervention, with the only side effect being a greater sense of general well being, reaching beyond any physical symptoms originally presented. This happens because the skilled acupuncturist combines knowledge, genuine interest in each unique patient and strong rapport, forming a healing partnership with the patient.
