| Acupuncture 1st Appt - 1 hr £55 Follow-ups - 45 mins £45 The principle aim of acupuncture is to restore the equilibrium between the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of the individual. According to traditional Chinese philosophy, our health is dependent on the body’s motivating energy known as Qi which moves through a series of channels beneath your skin. When this Qi is unbalanced, illness may result. The flow of Qi can be disturbed by a number of factors,including emotional states such as anxiety, stress, anger, fear or grief, poor nutrition,weather conditions, hereditary factors, infections,poisons and trauma. By inserting fine needles into these channels of energy, an acupuncturist can stimulate your body’s own healing response and can help restore its natural balance.
