WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE?
Acupuncture is the practice of inserting thin needles or directing
a laser beam at specific points of the body to improve circulation
and reduce pain.
According to acupuncture there is a life-force energy called 'qi'
which permeates all living things, running through channels in the
body called meridians.
Dotted along the meridians are the acupuncture points. These are
points where the qi of the channels rise close to the surface of the
body.
When qi flows freely through the meridians, the body is balanced
and healthy.
If the energy becomes blocked or weakened, it can result in physical,
or mental ill-health.
Acupuncture helps keep the natural energy flow running smoothly, by rebalancing
the energy system, to restore health, or prevent the development of disease.
WHAT IS LASER ACUPUNCTURE?
Laser acupuncture is the application of a low energy laser beam over
acupuncture points. Laser acupuncture employs the theories of Traditional
Chinese Medicine to treat injuries and give relief for both acute and
chronic disorders.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF USING LASER ACUPUNCTURE?
Laser acupuncture is simple, non-invasive and painless. The beam
penetrates into the skin, without harming tissue. It is also an option
for those who are afraid of needles.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE REQUIRED?
The number of treatments required will depend upon your medical condition
and your individual response to laser therapy. Most people require
an average of 10 treatments for pain relief.
EAR ACUPUNCTURE
Ear acupuncture is the application of laser, and the insertion of
small herb beads to acupuncture points in the ear.
The ear is very suitable for acupuncture because several meridians
run right through the ear, and it affects acupuncture points everywhere
in the body.
Ear acupuncture is particularly popular in drug and smoking withdrawal,
weight loss, and pain relief.
The use of the herb beads also enables the client to press on the
beads to stimulate the relaxation they experienced during the laser
treatment.

of the brain that were triggers for pain, mood and cravings.
