General Health
How we can aid with your family’s general health
Low Energy
When you are feeling tired, run down or just haven’t been able to get
back to usual energy levels post viral (or post covid), consider seeing
us. We delve into looking at what body systems may not be
functioning as well as it could.
Immunity
If you are constantly getting sick or run down, or can’t quite get over a
certain cold then there is some imbalance occurring and we look to
see how and where we can boost things up.
Colds, coughs & respiratory conditions
Acupuncture and herbs are a wonderful first line therapy for any cold
symptoms that may just be starting. We look to help your body resist
and push the pathogen out. With coughs that may be lingering longer
than usual we help resolve any residual phlegm and look to
strengthen the lungs up.
IBS and digestive complaints
Irritable bowel syndrome is a term that includes many various gut and
bowel ailments where by direct cause can not be found. This can
range from bloating, loose bowel, slower bowels, or pain in the
abdomen. We oftren find that stress is a big contributor to this issue
and so acupuncture and herbs can be wonderful in easing this and
also in strengthening and regulating the digestive system.
Hayfever and allergies
These seasonal disorders are particularly bad in Melbourne as it is
considered the allergy capitol of the world. Weather it is seasonal or
perennial, acupuncture and herbs can help moderate the response
your body is having to the allergen.
Stress and Anxiety
In our busy and fast paced life these days it can be hard finding calm
in our centre. Acupuncture is a wonderful modality that helps us
realign ourselves and treatments can be deeply relaxing. Regular
treatments are wonderful in helping us tap into that calm energy
during stressful times.
Children’s Health
We are always delighted in helping young children optimize their
health. Health doesn’t start in adulthood and these early years are
often paramount in laying good foundations, for better health in the
future. During treatments we can do paediatric medical massage
(tuina), laser or regular acupuncture (with the smallest of needles),
moxibustion and gentle cupping. We also teach parents specific
massage techniques and acupressure points to massage at home
which can speed up the treatment course. If there are any concerns such as eczema, digestive complaints, bed wetting, sleep, or
respiratory problems, get in touch, we would love to help.
Muscle and joint pain
When you see an acupuncturist for any pain condition – often they
may not even put needles near the site of pain – and often to the
amazement of the patient the pain will diminish or significantly
reduce. This is what make acupuncturists different to someone who
may be doing “dry-needling”. Our skills lay in the knowledge of using
the systems of channels that run along the body. Any pain can be seen
as a blockage in these channels and so we needle a long those
pathways but often at sites like on the hand and feet – away from the
area of pain.
Headaches & Migraines
This occurs when too much energy rises up to the head. We will often use
points on the hands and feet to help bring this energy down. With
reoccurring headaches and migraines, we often do an in depth
consultation to see where this imbalance of rising energy is stemming
from. We call this treating the root of the condition, whereas treating the
headache and pain is treating the branch.
