What modern acupuncture can do for you
Though Classical TCM (traditional Chinese Medicine) has been practiced for over 3000 years. But modern systems of scalp acupuncture have evolved alongside Neuroscience to combine the benefits of ancient and modern wisdom.
Scalp acupuncture is a gentle yet powerful technique. It often shows instant results, especially with regards to pain, mobility or movement. Very fine needles are used, and no painful needle stimulation is necessary.
YNSA Scalp Acupuncture has been proven to help:
- Stroke
- Paralysis
- Allergies
- Parkinson’s disease
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Mobility and movement
- Neurological diseases
- Psychological disorders
- Women’s health and fertility
Immune System and Allergies
As spring will slowly be knocking at the door soon our energy is shifting. The windy weather can be a challenge to our lungs and immune system. Acupuncture is fantastic for boosting your immune system and recovering from flu & colds. This is a good time to start preparing for a healthy hayfever season to reduce the symptoms. Acupuncture and scalp acupuncture can reduce puffy eyes and running noses.
Headache and Migraine
Acupuncture can offer great relief from headaches and migraines. Following consultation and a Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis, we can treat the root cause to prevent recurrence
Possible causes:
- Emotional stress
- Muscular tension
- Diet and digestive issues
- Hormones
Symptoms can be cyclical, so we need to get to the root of that imbalance.
Acupuncture for Children
Children can be responsive to gentle, minimal treatment. Issues and imbalances can be treated in a simple way, before they become deeper seated. Medications and their side effects can complicate the balance, or other compounding situations that we often see in adult or chronic issues.
Shonishin is the main technique for children. It takes advantage of their sensitivity to rebalance their energy. Usually, it doesn’t even involve needles; it involves stroking and tapping certain points to rebalance the meridians.
The aim of treatment is to
- Fortify vital energy
- Strengthen constitution
- Help symptoms to naturally improve
- A greater sense of well-being,
- Strengthen natural healing abilities to make the child less prone to illness.
Shonishin offers a safe and viable alternative to pharmaceuticals in the treatment of a wide range of problems from behavioural and emotional imbalances to physical conditions.
It has been used in treating infants and children afflicted with:
- Colic and digestive health problems
- ADHD
- Allergies
- Asthma
- Eczema
In older children problems can be more difficult. Specific gentle acupuncture techniques employing specialised needles may be used to supplement the general Shonishin treatment. Alternatively, another tool used is modern Cold Laser Acupuncture.
