Acupuncture is part of traditional Chinese medicine and has been tried and tested for thousands of years in the Far East. There are a huge number of ailments which can be treated with this Eatsern method, such as allergies, skin problems, digestive probelms, high blood pressure, PMT and stress. The aim of acupunture is to stimulate the bodies own healing process by gently inserting fine needles at particular points on various channels of energy on the body. This can mean avoiding strong pharmecuticals that can drain your body and dehydrate your system. The Acupuncture Remedy is a small business run by a lovely girl called Hanya who is fully trained with a BSc(Hons) degree in Acupuncture. She has recieved training in traditional Chinese medicine and western biomedical sciences(physiology and pathology) and also has a Diploma in Indian Head Massage. So, basically, she knows her stuff! She is really easy to talk to, will give you a full consultation before any treatments and also offers a free 20 min taster session for those who are anxious of needles. Indian Head Massage is my favorite bit, as it’s a perfect way to unwind and relax. Seriously heaven. It works by massaging and releasing stress in the muscles and joints of the head, face, neck and shoulders. Perfect for stress relief and relaxing muscles that are stiff from the cold. Yummmm.
