Treatment description and therapist thoughts

​

We put this wonderful treatment together, specifically to help with those looking for support with their mental health. This treatment involved acupuncture in the ear and whilst the needles are doing there thing, we do some amazing reflexology, these 2 amazing therapies working together provide a powerful treatment to help you.

​

Most Traditional Eastern Asian medicines are based on the idea that within the body there are meridians, they are essentially highways for your Qi (Chi), when they get blocked, the Qi can’t flow and it leads to health problems. Traditionally this is solved with acupuncture and moxibustion (they must be used together for complete balance) but also other tools such as massage or cupping, can be used to clear the blockages and helps the Qi flow again.

​

Ideally this should be a course of treatments, the frequency of which can be determined between you and your therapist. Once the main health complaint has been dealt with, we do recommend maintenance treatments as these works best when it is used as a preventative medicine rather than a reactive one. An old Korean proverb states:

​

“A good doctor will treat the symptoms; a great doctor will treat the problem before it occurs”.

​

And this is the philosophy behind a combined approach, prevention is better than cure. It’s a lovely therapy and can achieve some great results.
