About Lorna Withers, Acupuncturist

lorna-withers-acupuncturist-essex-acupuncture

Acupuncturist: Lorna Withers, BA(Hons), LicAc, MBAcC

Lorna’s first encounter with acupuncture was as a patient while living in Japan in the early 1990’s. She was so impressed by the rapid results of her treatment, and fascinated by the holistic approach to health and life that she decided to investigate further; studying privately with her practitioner.

Through treatment and study Lorna realised that the balanced approach of acupuncture and traditional chinese medicine offered solutions not only to healthcare but to greater well being in life generally. As a result she was inspired to train and qualify as an acupuncturist and on her return to Britain she completed an intensive three year diploma at the London College of Traditional Acupuncture.

Lorna Withers’ long established Essex Acupuncture practise provides effective treatments combining Traditional Chinese acupuncture, cupping therapy and moxibustion. She is also pleased to have added the new techniques of Battlefield Acupuncture to this extensive arsenal.

For the acupuncturist, the success of the treatment lies in its holistic approach which encompasses the whole body and ensures that the person receives a treatment that has been individually tailored to their specific needs. No two people are the same!

Lorna often works with people during times of change in their lives – pregnancy, birth, bereavement, divorce, menopause, retirement, puberty – as debilitating symptoms can arise during stressful times of transition. Acupuncture can help facilitate a smooth path at these challenging times, and Lorna is passionate about helping people establish and maintain health and well-being.

In Lorna’s experience, common symptoms which have responded positively include menstrual difficulties and problems conceiving; low energy and feeling run down; aches and pains of back, neck, joints and head; stress-related sleep problems, anxiety, panic attacks and digestive disturbance, and skin problems.

Post graduate studies have included courses in treating gynaecological problems, infertility, complementary acupuncture for medical IVF procedures, emotional stress and depression and musculo skeletal pain and injury.

Moxibustion

moxibustion at essex acupuncture

Warming points through Moxibustion is an integral part of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It utilises a substance called Moxa, which is made from the aged leaves of a herb called mugwort. Like the sun, moxa produces a comforting dry heat helping to eliminate dampness and cold in the body, alleviating Aches and Pains and supporting Aging Joints.

Pain Relief

If you are one of those people who has exhausted the chemical pills and potions of Western Medicine, then Acupuncture could be for you.
There are many patients who have been sent home to grin and bear it and, after many months of putting up with discomfort, the discovery of natural pain relief in the form of an acupuncture treatment can be the most wonderful experience.

Battlefield

Originally developed to treat pain in US Air Force pilots who were unable to take medication while flying, this ear acupuncture technique has proved so effective in the relief of pain that many soldiers across the american forces have been trained so they can treat each other on the battlefield.
