Body acupuncture

Body acupuncture is where most courses of care begin. After a short check-in on how the week has gone, we select between eight and sixteen points across the limbs, back and torso — some close to where it hurts, others far from it, chosen from the pattern we found at your consultation.

The needles are single-use, pre-sterilised and roughly the width of two human hairs. Most people feel a brief tap, then a dull, spreading heaviness. You rest for around twenty minutes while the treatment works; many people fall asleep.

Best for: lower back and neck pain, headaches and migraine, stress and anxiety, disrupted sleep, digestive complaints and menstrual pain.

Compressed mugwort warmed above specific points. Deeply comforting in cold weather and for injuries that have simply stopped improving.

Chinese herbal medicine
