What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a part of TCM that goes back more than two thousand years. It looks at pain and illness as signs that the body is out of balance of Yin and Yang, necessary but opposing natural forces. In the body, Qi, or ‘vital energy’ is a Yang force and Blood is the opposing Yin. Health is a result of the free and balanced flow of Qi and Blood. Disease occurs when there is overflow, deficiency or stagnation of Qi or Blood. Qi flows through the body along invisible meridian channels, each of which corresponds to a different organ system in the body. The overall aim of acupuncture treatment is to rebalance the body by inserting fine sterile needles at the acupoints (pressure points) along the meridians to unblock or ease the flow of Qi. Acupuncture helps to stimulate the body's own response and ability to heal physically, emotionally and spiritually. It is a holistic way to heal the whole person.
What is Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)?
Traditional Chinese Medicine (中 医 ) refers to a broad range of medicine practices sharing common theoretical concepts which have been developed in China and look back on a tradition of more than 2000 years, including various forms of herbal medicine, acupuncture, massage therapy and dietary therapy. TCM's view of the body is less concerned with anatomical structures than with the identification of functional entities (which regulate digestion, breathing, aging etc.). TCM diagnosis involves identification of patterns of disharmony, usually by taking pulse and tongue findings into account.
Who has acupuncture?
Many people use acupuncture for help with specific symptoms or conditions. Others choose acupuncture as a preventive measure to strengthen their constitution or because they just feel generally unwell. Acupuncture is considered suitable for all ages including babies, children and the elderly. It can be very effective when integrated with conventional medicine.
What to expect?
First Yueying will meet with you to determine your particular needs. She wiill review your medical history and discuss what you want to achieve with each treatment. Treatment frequency is determined on an individual basis, as each patient has different needs. She will discuss this with you at your first visit.
The procedure is painless. Tiny, hair thin needles are placed on the body to balance your natural energy. Depending on your treatment, the needles are left on the body from as few as 10 seconds to 30 minutes. You will be offered
a comfortable environment and compassionate care. Please feel free to contact Yueying today. Yueying would be happy to assist you in improving your state of mind and your health.
How many sessions will I need?
That depends on your individual condition. At first she will normally ask to see you once or twice a week. You may start to feel benefits after the first or second treatment although long-standing and chronic conditions usually need more time to improve. Once your health has stabilised you may need top-up treatments every few weeks. Traditional acupuncture is also very effective when used as preventive healthcare and many people like to go for a 'retuning' session at the change of each season throughout the year.
Are there any unpleasant side effects?
Acupuncture has virtually no unpleasant side effects. Any that do occur are mild and self-correcting. Occasionally there may be minor bruising at the needlepoint or a short-term flare-up of your symptoms as your Qi clears and resettles. When it is carried out by a qualified practitioner, acupuncture is safe. Serious side effects or complications arising from treatment are extremely rare.
