Acupuncture & Taoist Medicine
{ an art and science of living }

Acupuncture is one element, or tool of Chinese & Taoist Medicine; a science evolving over 2500 years with early Taoists, Scholars & Chinese physicians. Acupuncture is the insertion of filiform needles into specific points along energy meridians or channels near the surface that flow deeper, interconnecting throughout the body, used to harmonize the flow of life force (Qi) in restoring whole health.

A wholistic approach to life , Taoist Medicine seeks alignment for the whole being through integration – body, mind and spirit. It observes that the laws that govern nature also govern us humans as we seek to restore wholeness. Acknowledging that each being is unique, a unique approach in finding harmony becomes necessary. Pain, disease, stress, impaired body functions and other disorders are interelated symptoms of an obstruction or imbalance in the flow of life-force energy (Qi).

Outward manifestations, symptoms or discomforts (effect), are reflections of an internal imbalance (cause). Looking deep for the root cause of your disharmony, we address physical obstruction, limitation or disharmony; mind and emotional related stress or depression; as well as spiritual awareness and self understanding. Healing being lasting and complete then arrives from an energetic viewpoint, rather than just suppressing or masking symptoms.

According to Taoist approach, these are consideration for true healing…

Lifestyle and emotional balancing;
nutrition and herbal medicine;
body conditioning & awareness – strength, stamina and suppleness
rest, mindfulness, meditation and breath practices;
observing and attuning to daily, monthly and seasonal rhythms in nature;
bodywork including acupuncture, acupressure, massage, cupping, and the likes...

These practices combined provide the right conditions to promote and gently stimulate our own natural healing energies. Harmony can be restored.

This approach necessitates highly specialised diagnosis methods in order to discern the state of all the bodily systems to a high degree of accuracy. This said, at the same time, this approach requires the one regaining wholenss to become more present and responsible for their wellness.

Some conditions acupuncture and Taoist medicine treat, but not limited to; stress and anxiety, emotional pain and depression, low energy and fatigue, chronic and acute pain syndromes, migraines and headaches, asthma, eczema, menstrual/gynaecological related syndromes including menopause, infertility, sleeping disorders, digestive disorders, weight problems, acne, addiction and more.
