Acupuncture is a medical system originating in China, the earliest written records being approximately two thousand years old. This began with the discovery that stimulating certain areas of the skin in various ways affected the functioning of specific organs

Acupuncture is based on an understanding of the flow of vital energy in the body - known as Qi. This is a kind of 'subtle essence' which circulates around the body, providing life to what would be otherwise is inanimate. The traditional explanation of how acupuncture works is that Qi flows over the body through a network of pathways called meridians. The aim of treatment is to balance the flow of Qi by stimulating acupuncture points along these meridians, thereby relieving symptoms and promoting health. This in turn will make us feel better, stronger and more positive.

Many health problems have responded well to treatment, covering a wide range of medical conditions like,
Headaches, low energy, stress, ME, fatigue, emotional distress, intestinal problems, urinary/kidney disorders, muscular skeletal problems, menstrual problems, neurological problems, pain management, plus many other conditions.
