The principle aim of acupuncture is to treat the whole person not just the title of disease and to recover the equilibrium between the physical, emotional and spiritual self. This is achieved with a diagnosis based on information relating to, for example, past and present emotions, diet, life style and a health history starting as early as childhood. Acupuncture techniques have been used for over 2, 000 years. Although refined and adapted over the centuries, it has retained a simplicity which is still applicable today. This is possible due to the interpretation of signs (what the practitioner sees) and symptoms (what the practitioner is told). An allergy is a reaction to a specific substance.

These substances may include pollens, dust particles, molds, foods, latex rubber, insect venom, certain medications, animal hair, or even chemicals that are used in every day household products. When the immune system is working properly it is able to identify the substance and categorizes it as harmful or helpful. However when the immune system is not functioning properly all substances become “harmful” and a reaction then occurs. Testing is done by the use of simple muscle testing to identify the substances to which you may have a sensitivity or allergy. Then homoeopathic preparations of these substances are used to desensitise your body to them.

Aromatherapy massage is the art and science of utilizing naturally extracted aromatic essences from plants to balance, harmonize and promote the health of body, mind and spirit. It is an art and science which seeks to explore the physiological, psychological and spiritual realm of the individual's response to aromatic extracts as well as to observe and enhance the individual's healing process. As a holistic medicine, aromatherapy is a preventative approach as well as an active treatment during acute and chronic stages of illness or disease.
