ACUPUNCTURE AWARENESS WEEK

Good morning all!  This is not just any old week this is Acupuncture Awareness Week running from Monday 27th February – Sunday 4th March.

British Acupuncture Council surveys revealed that 21% of the British population still think acupuncture needles are as large as those used for injections –  they aren’t by the way!!! The aim of Acupuncture Awareness week is to dispel this and other myths surrounding the powerful system of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese medicine.

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.
