Acupuncture – one of the primary therapies used in Traditional Chinese Medicine – is more than just the insertion of acupuncture needles. Rooted in a deep cultural understanding which spans several thousand years, this practice is a testament to the pursuit of balance and wellness through the intricate pathways of the body’s energy flow, known as Qi.
Ivan’s unique approach to the practice of Acupuncture means that even the needle-phobic, sensitive or undecided can experience Acupuncture therapy through the application of moxibustion, the burning of mugwort near the skin to stimulate the Qi.
The flexibility to use either Acupuncture needles or moxibustion to achieve the same goal makes this suitable for any person considering an Eastern approach to their health and well-being.
The efficacy of acupuncture extends beyond the reaches of just pain relief and into the realms of both physical and mental health. Historically, it has been a significant aid to those seeking respite from the throes of pain, while contemporary clinical trials have cast a wider net,, seeking to illustrate its potency in addressing conditions like migraines and anxiety.
