Your Treatment

Welcome to Chi Harmony Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Clinic

As your Chinese Medicine Physician, I am committed to your health and wellbeing. I am here to offer you my knowledge and experience of health and healing drawn from Chinese and Tibetan medicine, Qigong practice, meditation and life itself.

The atmosphere of the clinic is set up particularly for you to unwind from your busy and stressful daily life, relax, rest and recover your energies while allowing your body to restore its self-healing mechanisms.

During the treatment you and I will discuss your health concerns; I will perform the Chinese Medicine diagnosis by taking your pulse, looking at your tongue and asking you questions which will guide me towards the treatment methods specifically and individually for you. Chinese Medicine treats the whole person and not disease. Therefore, we can discuss your diet, work/rest/exercise/sleep habits to determine what you are already doing well and what can be enhanced to allow you the best opportunity of healing.  Healing in Chinese Medicine is very much dependent on the practitioner and patient trust in each other, and on each other’s commitment to the patient’s healing. In other words, both you and I need to put in effort and work together to achieve the best result.

Acupuncture is one of most ancient and characteristic therapeutic techniques of Chinese medicine. Very fine needles are inserted into various points in the body with the purpose to heal various conditions.

According to the principles of Chinese Medicine, the body possess a sophisticated network of channels through which the energy – Qi, is circulating. All diseases are the result of this energy not flowing properly. Stimulating different points allows the Qi to flow well again which relieves pain, produces relaxation of mind and body, produces homeostatic effect harmonizing the body’s innate ability to self-regulate and enhances immunity. Acupuncture also produces an anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effect, as well as it hastening motor recovery in patients who became paralysed.

Acupuncture has been for centuries addressing the following categories of health:

• Facial Rejuvenation – What is beauty? Beauty is health. Our face is the reflection of our mind and spirit. It is also a reflection of our thoughts, emotions, preoccupations and, very importantly, our internal health. As we get stressed and age, the face is not receiving the proper circulation of blood and energy which carry nutrients to its cells. Repeated stress and stressful emotions set in and produce tightness and pain. If our internal organs are not functioning properly, this also becomes reflected on the skin. Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation treatment focuses on rebalancing your body overall, and working on the face specifically. Diagnosis is taken prior to the course of treatments. During a treatment I use acupuncture, energy work, facial acupressure massage to nurture you back into your natural beauty.

• Mental Health and Stress Relief – healthy mind makes a healthier body. When we have more health our mind is healthier too. Our live has become increasingly stressful with numerous tasks at home and at work, increased dependency on technology, pressures of society and family. As human beings we are stretching our ability to recover from what was supposed to be a short-term stressful situation in the past. Our present-day stress is prolonged and wears us out mentally and physically and this becomes a cause for many diseases, both mental and physical. Acupuncture works on unblocking the energy pathways and allows the blockages that we held due to stress to be released, boosts our energies, as well as nourishes and strengthens our internal organs to be able to cope with life in stronger and more positive way.
  

•  Pain Relief – the Chinese Medicine principle is that the pain is there where there is an energy blockage. By working on the circulation of energy and blood, Acupuncture is able to free their flow in our body and allow the inflammation to subside and toxins be removed from the system. This is one of the most famous uses of acupuncture.

• Energy Boost – when we are low on energy, we are not able to live our day in a fulfilling way. We feel that we are missing that spark. This happens when we exhaust ourselves mentally and physically, our organs are not functioning to produce enough energy to fulfil our daily needs, or our energies are blocked due to stress. Acupuncture unblocks the flows of energy and blood, stimulates the organs to work properly as well as allows deep rest and recovery for our body and mind.

•  And many others – e.g. digestion, fertility, women’s health, men’s health, chronic illnesses
