Acupuncture is an holistic system of medicine which has been practised in China and the East for thousands of years. It works gently with the body’s own natural energies and has proven to be both safe and effective in the treatment of a wide range of medical conditions. In addition, acupuncture is deeply relaxing and many people report a sense of general wellbeing as well as an improvement of symptoms. It is safe to use alongside conventional medicine, during pregnancy and even for babies and children.
