Aches and Pains In The Head

Like Acupuncture, aches and pains in the head and neck have been around for thousands of years. However, recent changes of policy by the Advertising Standards Authority have resulted in very strict rules governing what we are allowed to say about Acupuncture and Headaches. This applies particularly to the term Migraine – since it is a recognised Western medical ailment and there is no Western medical study proving its efficacy.

Battlefield Acupuncture for Pain

Nevertheless, real life seems to be helping to provide proof in spite of these rules. Battlefield Acupuncture is achieving remarkable improvements for those suffering from a range of physical aches and pains all over the body, as evidenced by its effects on soldiers injured on the battlefields of Afghanistan.

US Medics have been trained in this skill and they now carry the packs of tiny needles so that they can treat their colleagues where they lay and help to keep them free of pain from some horrendous wounds.

Back in the treatments of Acupuncturists around the world, this type of auricular acupuncture is now practised for sufferers of persistent tension headaches combined with flashing lights and visual disturbances.

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.
