About Acupuncture
For each treatment the Amanda will assess the blocks between the meridians and pick out specific acupuncture points for that you on the day. These points will be aimed at healing the person at the levels of body, mind and spirit.
There are two basic techniques used in acupuncture to affect to flow of Qi (chi) through the meridians.
-
The first involves the insertion of very fine needles to release the Qi of a particular point into the meridian and the body as a whole.
-
The second technique is the use of a herb called Moxa. Small cones of this herb are burnt resting on the skin to warm and supply energy to the acupuncture point.
Occasionally needles are left in. This is most often used for muscular skeletal issues or fertility support treatments.
Other techniques that may be included in your treatment are the use of cups, massage, Chinese herbs, talking therapy, TCM dietary or lifestyle guidance.
