In the world today, there are more illnesses and ill people than ever before in history.

Never have we seen so many mental and physical complaints! To some extent, as we burden ourselves with over-work and worry, we are facing the consequences of our own behaviour. But here is help! There is, indeed, a better way!

Complementary medicine provides all the tools to put us back on the road to recovery, to wellbeing, health and happiness.

Every living being has a built-in healing system, and it is entirely within us to turn this healing system on. Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture are the basis for a healing system documented in Ancient China and based on a concept of vital energy or Qi that flows throughout the body. Qi regulates spiritual, emotional, mental and physical balance and is influenced by negative energy (yin) and positive energy (yang), disease being caused by yin and yang becoming unbalanced and the flow of Qi disrupted. The chief component of Traditional Chinese Medicine is acupuncture - the applying of thin needles below the dermis of the skin to help balance Qi.

Acupuncture is not just about needles! It is a comprehensive traditional therapy focused on correcting imbalances in energy flow throughout the body, and effectively treats anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder; nausea, vomiting and irritable bowel syndrome; pain syndromes; neurological problems; respiratory conditions; gynecologic disorders and infertility; fatique, addictions and chronic pain.
