High Street Natural Health

Acupuncture is a therapy from the ancient system of Traditional Chinese Medicine and has been used for thousands of years. The therapy works by triggering the flow of Qi (energy) along your body’s energy lines or meridians, acting as a catalyst for your body’s natural health responses. Fine, single-use, sterile needles are inserted in the skin at specific ‘acupoints’ along the meridians, clearing energy blockages and returning the body to balance and resolving illness. 
Acupuncture is an efficacious, drug-free therapy that is becoming increasingly popular. It is well recognised (including by the World Health Organisation) and used by many people, from diverse backgrounds, of all ages, globally. Acupuncture takes an holistic approach to understanding normal function and disease processes – it has as much of a focus on prevention of illness as on the treatment or cure. 
Energy flow has the potential to be disrupted in a variety of ways: emotional upset, physical injury, poor diet or overwork are all common examples. By ascertaining the underlying cause of the disruption and how it has affected your body, your practitioner is able to select the most appropriate treatment for you. Acupuncture also includes other Traditional Chinese Medicine techniques, including Cupping and Acupressure.
