 Acupuncture is an ancient form of Chinese Medicine, used to cure the root cause of illness rather than the symptoms.  Acupuncture treatment uses needles to access the meridian pathways that should flow harmoniously throughout the body.  The needles are used to unblock these pathways that can cause illness or dis-ease.    Five Element Acupuncture works with the laws of nature balancing the body, mind and spirit.  The practitioner will use diagnostic tools which have been refined over thousands of years to create a specific treatment plan aimed at the individual patient.   The first consultation appointment will include, a discussion of your background, medical history including any medications and a physical examination including, tongue diagnosis, blood pressure, abdominal diagnosis and pulses.  This will be explained in full during the consultation.

Moxa

Cupping and Gua Sha

Acupuncture

Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves the burning of mugwort, a small, spongy herb on the skin.  This works with the Acupuncture needles in facilitating the healing process of the body.  The purpose of moxibustion, as with most forms of traditional Chinese medicine, is to strengthen the blood, stimulate the flow of qi, and maintain general health.

 Cupping Therapy

In Chinese medicine pain can be caused by the stagnation of the blood which will create a build up of blood and energy flow. This can be due to physical or emotional trauma on the body. Cupping increases the blood flow to the area therefore encouraging the movement of blood, energy and fluids by a deep suction massage. The cups are placed on the skin creating a suction, bringing the blood to the surface of the skin. The cups can then be moved or left static and will cause a bruising affect on the skin. Cupping can be used as a recovery method for strained muscles, relieving the tension and aiding in the healing process.   It is commonly used in  athletes including, swimmers, gymnastics and long distance runners. 


Gua Sha

Gua Sha is very similar to Cupping,  however the Gua Sha tool is different, we use a smooth flat piece of jade or similar to scrap the skin. This breaks down the stagnation of blood and energy which has  created the discomfort or pain.  It will cause the blood to move to the surface of the skin causing a bruising affect and give relief from the pain.
