Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses very thin needles inserted through the skin at strategic points on the body. During acupuncture, you may experience a de qi sensation at the acupoints, often felt as soreness, distension, and numbness.
Treatment modalities
Concentrated herbal granules
Individualised herbal formulas prescribed and dispensed on site. Formulas are adjusted across visits as the clinical picture evolves. All herbal products comply with the guidelines set by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). The concentrated herbal granules are sourced from pharmaceutical GMP-approved suppliers.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion is combined with body acupuncture to work synergistically, effectively enhancing treatment outcomes and consolidating the regulating effects for longer-lasting results. Moxibustion also helps regulate immunity and boost metabolism, improving your body's functions from within.
Cupping
Cupping therapy uses heat or suction to create negative pressure in cups placed on the skin. This may cause temporary redness or mild bruising. It helps relieve muscle tightness, improve circulation, and ease colds or joint pain.
Cosmetic acupuncture
Cosmetic acupuncture uses gentle, sterile needles on your face to improve blood circulation and boost collagen. This can soften fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots, brighten your skin, reduce puffiness and acne, lift your facial contours, and lessen a double chin. Adding body acupuncture helps rebalancing your whole system, giving you deeper, longer-lasting skin rejuvenation and a natural anti-aging effect.
Auriculotherapy
A specialised form of acupuncture focusing on the ear, where specific points correspond to different areas and functions of the body. It may be used as a standalone treatment or as a complement to body acupuncture.
Bloodletting therapy
A traditional technique using a sterile lancet to release a small amount of blood at specific points, traditionally used to clear heat, reduce swelling, and promote circulation.
Acupoint herbal application
Medicated herbal pastes or patches are applied directly to specific acupoints on the skin. Through transdermal absorption, the herbal compounds stimulate the acupoints without needling.
Treatment choices are made in consultation. Not every modality is appropriate for every person or condition — your practitioner will discuss what is suitable for you.
