According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, energy –or qi flows along special pathways called meridians. Illness occurs when there are blockages in energy. The goal of TCM is to restore a healthy flow of energy.

Rather than treating symptoms, TCM gets to the root of the problem, identifying “patterns of disharmony” and restoring flow of qi, yin and yang. Practitioners analyse your pulse and tongue, which map your organ health and constitution. They also take your medical history, appetite, sleep and lifestyle habits into account.Balance is restored using acupuncture, herbs, nutrition, moxibustion, cupping and mind-breath practises like qi gong.

During acupuncture, tiny, sterile needles are inserted into acupoints and left in place for ten to twenty minutes. It isn’t painful, but can cause tingling, aching, warmth or pulling sensations.Acupuncture improves circulation, muscle health, immunity, hormonal health, mood and mental clarity, while reducing stress and pain. Facial acupuncture supports anti-aging, stimulating collagen production.
