Why Acupuncture?
Balancing Qi Promotes Well-being
According to Traditional Chinese medicine, the energy that flows through the body, known as ‘qi’, needs to be in a dynamic and harmonious balance resulting in a healthy human being of sound mind. Disruptions in ‘qi’ create imbalances in the body’s energy that leads to illness.
The practice of acupuncture restores qi in the body to a healthy equilibrium through the insertion of very thin needles into the patient’s skin at specific ‘acupoints’. The relevant points are believed to stimulate the central nervous system which in turn releases chemicals into the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These biochemical changes stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities which can lead to physical and emotional well-being.
For the body to be healthy, it has to be in a state of dynamic balance. When a person is balanced within themselves, it is easier to be in a balanced relationship with others and the world around us.
“I am trained in the more ancient style of Classical Acupuncture, known today as Advanced Acupuncture. This is a less practised way but, in my mind, the most comprehensive of all; a complete tool kit to treat all conditions.”
Acupuncture Treatment in Edinburgh
My clinic is in the New Town in a beautiful building with rooftop views of Edinburgh. It is easily accessible via bus and if travelling by car, parking is easy to find. My room is on the 3rd floor so you can choose to either walk up the stairs or there is a lift next to reception which opens up just outside my room (number 54).
My clinic days are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday but I can have flexibility with other days, if needed.
You can book an appointment online or contact me for further information.
