Acupuncture is a great compliment in the realm of holistic healing. The major premise is based on the electromagnetic bio-information system which in traditional Chinese Medicine is called Qi, the body's flow of energy. If there is a disruption of the Qi due to trauma, Acupuncture aims to correct the imbalances by stimulation of anatomical locations on or under the skin by connecting channels known as meridians. Using very thin hair like type needles to re-connect the disruption helps to restore balance to the body. It has also been proven that stimulating the nervous system with Acupuncture can release chemicals that may in turn release other hormones producing the desired effects. Research has shown acupuncture's effect on ACTH, insulin, thyroid hormones, growth stimulating hormone, beta-endorphin, white blood cell production and plasma cholesterol levels. Acupuncture is a natural and safe alternative to conventional medicine that can address many unwanted symptoms. We also offer other Traditional Techniques such as Gua Sha and Cupping - Come experience the benefit of this alternative healing.
The World Health Organization Inter-regional Seminar drew up the following provisional list of diseases that lend themselves to acupuncture treatment (Source: Bannerman R H 1979 Acupuncture: the WHO View. World Health, December, p27-28.). The list is based on clinical experience, and not necessarily on controlled clinical research. Furthermore, the inclusion of specific diseases are not meant to indicate the extent of acupuncture's efficacy in treating them.
