About acupuncture
More and more people are turning to acupuncture in the UK as an alternative health medicine or to complement Western
medical treatment. We in the West are now beginning to encounter the benefits of acupuncture seen in China, Japan and
other Eastern countries for many hundreds of years. Acupuncture has now gained rightful credibility in the UK and is
often covered by medical insurance for private healthcare. Acupuncture is regarded as a medical appointment for which
you should be able to get time off work. Unfortunately, it is not yet widely available on the NHS, but with the
forthcoming state regulation of acupuncture, this may change in the years ahead.
Traditional Chinese acupuncture is an ancient and complete healing system which has been around for over 2000 years.
Acupuncture can be effective for a wide variety of health problems, not only physical but also stress related or when
mental and emotional problems are creating conflict in peoples lives. A wide range of people can benefit from
acupuncture treatment, from children to the elderly. In Chinese acupuncture and medicine, any illness or symptom is
associated with an imbalance of the person's motivational energy called Qi (pronounced Chee). Acupuncture aims to
restore this balance and bring back harmony. I use the most ancient Five Element acupuncture system to concentrate on
the underlying constitutional root of the imbalance, thereby facilitating the body's own path of healing.
In acupuncture, our health is dependent on the body's Qi moving in a smooth and balanced way through a series of
acupuncture meridians beneath the skin. Qi consists of equal and opposite qualities - Yin and Yang - and when these
become imbalanced, illness may result. The flow of qi can be disturbed by a number of factors. These include emotional
states such as anxiety, stress, anger, fear or grief, poor nutrition, weather conditions, hereditary factors,
infections, poisons and trauma. By inserting fine acupuncture needles into the channels of energy, an acupuncturist can
stimulate the body's own healing response and help restore its natural balance. The principal aim of acupuncture in
treating the whole person is to recover the equilibrium between the physical, mental and emotional aspects of the
individual.
In the West, acupuncture has been misleadingly publicized as only being helpful to specific conditions, for example
pain control, addiction or weight loss. Acupuncture is beneficial for a wide variety of conditions and its success is
also proved by its popularity: Over two million acupuncture treatments are given in the UK each year, and that number is
growing.
