The principle method of acupuncture treatment is by the insertion of fine metal needles into the points lying beneath the skin. These points may also be thermally stimulated by burning herbs (moxibustion) or by infrared light. By stimulating some of the points certain body functions can be regulated to restore health.

It is quite reasonable to assume that it is painful when a needle is inserted into the body, In fact, if performed by a qualified doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine only a slight prick is felt when the needle enters the skin, as the acupuncture needles are much finer than conventional needles used for injections or withdrawing blood. When the needles reach the acupuncture point there is another sensation, which is often described as a dull ache – this is rarely described as painful.

Chinese herbal medicines and acupuncture are the two major components of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The earliest classic book on TCM was compiled around 700BC and TCM is now practised throughout the world. In TCM the human body is seen as a functionally integrated system. A symptom in one part of the body will be related to imbalances in another, for example, a skin rash or discolouration may reflect a deep imbalance within the body. The holistic principles of TCM looks beyond presenting conditions of the patient, evaluates the causes of illnesses and allows treatment of the body’s underlying imbalance.

Extensive research and practice have shown that Chinese herbs and acupuncture are effective treatment of many conditions including:-

Skin disorders -Eczema, Dermatitis, Psoriasis, Acne rosacea. Painful conditions – Trigeminal neuralgia, neck pain, cervical spondylosis, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, back pain, sciatica, sporty injuries, arthritis, rheumatism. Infertility, menopause syndrome, irregular periods, indigestion, sinusitis, depression, migraine, hypertension, asthma, hayfever, weight problems, stopping smoking, rehabilitation e.g. after a stroke.
