Welcome to Acu-Wellness

Both traditional (body) and auricular acupuncture have their origins in China and date back over 2000 years.

Acupuncture points can be seen as "triggers" which if stimulated send electrical impulses to the targeted area. If you were being treated for Sciatica for example, the Sciatica acupoint would be stimulated, this would then treat the Sciatic nerve.

The acupuncture points can be stimulated by needles, small electrical currents, press studs or press needles.

Auricular acupuncture will not cure your condition, but it will relieve the symptoms, take the pain away and stop the degeneration.



Health

Ear acupuncture is a very effective treatment for the control and management of pain. It can be used to treat a variety of chronic and debilitating conditions.

Ranging from: arthritis, allergies, back pain (including Sciatica), pre-menstrual tension, high or low blood pressure, sports injuries and migraine.

In the case of arthritis, for example acupuncture helps to reduce the inflammation by stimulating the production of natural cortisone from the adrenal and endocrine glands.

It can also help to alleviate the symptoms of MS and ME.

Acupuncture is also effective in the treatment of allergies, hay fever, psoriasis and other skin complaints, asthma and sinusitis.

A person suffering from hay fever should only require 3 or 4 treatments, given weekly, either before or during the Hay Fever season. This should hopefully bring full relief for the season.

Acupuncture treatment reduces hay fever attacks by acting as an anti-histamine without the drowsiness drugs can give. It also has an anti-allergen effect.

Balance

Ear acupuncture can help all "nerve" related problems including: stress, anxiety, insomnia, panic attacks and depression.

It works by inducing endorphins, the bodies natural opiates, into the blood stream. These act as a tranquilliser. This has the effect of slowing down the activity of the brain without making you drowsy or causing any other side effects.

While it will not make you drowsy it will aid your sleep and your ability to relax. After a few weeks it will give you a sense of well being.

Wellbeing

Addiction: ear acupuncture is used effectively for the treatment of addictions: nicotine, alcohol and other drugs. It significantly reduces the cravings, anxiety and depression brought on by withdrawals.

Weight Loss:

The treatment speeds up the metabolism, helping to burn off extra fat. It reduces the appetite and helps get rid of extra fluids.

Acu-rejuvenation:

Is a six-week course of ear, face and body acupuncture (without needles) that seeks to bring the body back into balance. It can be seen as a spring-clean for the mind and body. It combines detox, re balancing and a course of acupuncture facials, treating the face to help relax and freshen the skin.
