 Acupuncture & Cupping
Acupuncture is a form of Chinese medicine and helps restore
balance and flow throughout the body. It is recognised by the
World Health Organisation (WHO) as being a very effective
treatment for a wide range of medical conditions.
The human body has circuits throughout called meridians. These
meridians have over 500 acupuncture points which can sometimes
be blocked or damaged from accidents, lifestyle or heredity
which can cause pain. To keep these meridians flowing and free
from pain, acupuncture is a marvellous healing tool to let the
energy/Qi flow freely within your body.
What happens during an acupuncture treatment?
We start by taking a case history with you, which involves
asking questions, taking your pulses
and looking at your
tongue. This examination indicates the state of the disease,
and the condition of your blood and Qi (energy).
Once we understand your health issues and concerns, you then
either sit or lie down and relax while we apply acupuncture.
Acupuncture
is a safe treatment using either ultra-fine sterile disposable
stainless steel needles inserted into specific parts of your
body on acupuncture points or meridians. Acupuncture is not a
painful experience – you will feel a mild sensation but you
will not feel pain.
We may also apply cups or moxa during your treatment if
needed. Moxibustion is a Chinese herb stick, used to warm
certain points on your body and calm your mind. We
may also apply cups or moxa (also called moxibustion) during
your treatment if needed. Moxa is a Chinese herb stick, used
to warm certain points on your body and calm your mind.

I was doing fertility treatment and had heard that acupuncture could
help. I really think that whatever Charmaine did helped
me conceive. ... We had been trying for 18 months. I had
a threatened miscarriage in the beginning and at that
time had acupuncture once a week until the bleeding
stopped. Thanks Charmaine!

Cupping
therapy
Cupping is a treatment of applying glass cups to the skin. The
glass cups are heated to create a vacuum and placed on your
skin's acupressure points or the source of your pain.
During cupping treatment blood flow is increased to where the
cup has been placed and improves healing for your body.
Cupping has been used in
China for thousands of years and there are recordings in Egypt
of cups used in healing from approximately 1500BC.
Cupping reduces stress and relieves pain and is
particularly useful for colds and flu, boils, lung disease,
removal of toxins, paralysis and gastrointestinal conditions.
After a cupping treatment you may have some dark spots on
your skin ranging in colour from pink to purple. Generally
these spots are not painful and will fade in approximately 3-7
days. This is
the
result of the drawing effect of the cups,
releasing congestion and toxins from your body. You will find
that on subsequent treatments your skin will not discolour to
the same degree which indicates an improvement in your health.
Contraindications of cupping – if you are pregnant, have
inflamed skin, high fever, cramping or
if
you bleed easily then
cupping is not recommended.
After an acupuncture or cupping treatment Chinese Herbs
maybe recommended to take home to compliment the
treatment.
These Chinese Herbs are user friendly and easy to
take in
a pill form.
