The origins of acupuncture in China can be tracked back at least 5 thousand years, making it one of the oldest and most long standing health care systems in the world. Acupuncture is by far the most respected of all the traditional treatment systems and has achieved wide- spread acceptance as an effective form of health care, including formal recognition by the World Health Organization.

Acupuncture takes an holistic approach to understanding disease processes and focuses as much on prevention of illness as on the treatment of health conditions. Treatment targets not just the presenting signs and symptoms - it looks at the underlying condition, other health problems and the general state of health and well - being.

Acupuncture treatment involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific sites ( Acu-points) along the body's meridians.  Stimulating these Acu-points clears energy blockages and encourages the normal flow of energy through the body.

In Acupuncture, the needle (almost hair thin) is tapped in through a guiding tube so you barely feel it going in. At their first treatment, most first timers are pleased to exclaim “that didn’t hurt at all”.
Acupuncture is a natural, drug-free and highly effective way to restore mental, physical and emotional balance.

Acupuncture treatment will release the "happy hormones"( body chemicals known as Endomorphism), which will effectively provide quick pain relief.

Whilst some conditions do respond extremely well to a single treatment, such as headache, menopause, painful period, in most cases, a course of treatment may be necessary.

The frequency and duration of that treatment will vary according to your individual condition.  Generally speaking, the longer a patient has had a particular condition, the longer it will take to treat.

In addition to providing effective treatment for a wide range of common health disorders, Acupuncture may also be used to maintain normal body functioning, regulate general immune function and assist with disease prevention.
