| What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an ancient therapy, originating in far eastern countries, particularly China, where written records of its existence have been found dating back 3000 years.
Traditional acupuncture has its own method of diagnosis, which is based on an appraisal of the whole person, making it a very individualistic and holistic treatment.
The treatment consists of inserting very fine, hair-like needles to a shallow depth, into specific points on the skin. Most patients are barely aware of the needles.
How does it work?
Central to the philosophy of Acupuncture is that of balance: 'Qi' (pronounced 'Chee') is the vital life force within us, which flows around the body and through the internal organs in meridians or channels. When a disorder arises, it is because of an interruption to the smooth balance of this flow.
Yin and Yang are also fundamental to Chinese medicine philosophy. Again, these are related to balance: Yin is quiet, cool, dark and moves downwards, while Yang is lively, warm, light and moves upwards.
In good health, both are working in harmony and keep each other in balance. However, if either is too weak or too strong, it will adversely affect the other, and an imbalance results, leading to a health problem.
How can Acupuncture help with Menopause?
|
|
There is a lot of information on the menopause in classical Chinese medicine texts. It is believed that by the age of 49, a women's Jing, or Essence, starts to decline naturally. This leads to an imbalance between Yin and Yang. With a deficiency of Yin, its moistening, cooling and calming properties are less active, leading to symptoms of dryness, hot flushes, stress and irritability.Menopausal hot flushes, night sweating and irritability respond very well to the treatment of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine.
“I am a traditional acupuncturist using specific questioning and tongue and pulse diagnosis to make an individual prescription of acupuncture point and/or herbal formulae best suited for our patients' specific symptoms. This kind of ancient therapy excels in the treatment of hormonal imbalances and deficiency.” Andreas Feyler
How long does the treatment last?
An individual session lasts approximately 45 minutes.
This includes the initial patient assessment with the needle treatment lasting around 20 minutes.
It is recommended that you come for some 3 to 5 treatments in the first instance. |
