By the 2nd week of January most people have forgotten their new year resolutions! Traditional acupuncture is a good way to get back on track with your health and wellbeing.
Why do People chose Acupuncture
Traditional Acupuncture helps you feel well. With the holistic approach, looking beyond the presenting symptoms to find the root cause. Though most patients will make the decision to begin acupuncture with particular symptoms.

Mind and Body
In traditional acupuncture there is no mind-body split. In other words, the physical, emotional and mental aspect of life are seen as interdependent. The mind-body is seen as a system and understanding the relationship between the various parts is central to making a diagnosis and treatment plan.
The focus is on the whole individual rather than a particular sign or symptom in isolation. In practice this means when treating headache, for example, an acupuncturist may wish to understand whether there are any problems with the digestion, emotions, stresses, understanding and treating on a deeper level.
Holistic Diagnosis
Traditional five element acupuncturists are trained to use subtle diagnostic techniques that have been developed and refined over centuries. Each person is unique; two people with the same western diagnosis will receive different traditional five element acupuncture treatments. The aim the treatment is to work with the person holistically looking at the entire person including such areas as lifestyle, diet, medical history, personal stressors, exercise and attitude to life, for each individual to discover a greater sense of self. Good health is not just the absence of pain or disease but overall health and wellbeing.
