Acupuncture is one of the components of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) which also incorporates herbal medicine and massage.

Acupuncture is a holistic approach to the management of disease as well as the maintenance of health.  Its focus is on improving the overall wellbeing of the patient rather than the isolated treatment of specific symptoms.  

The ancient techniques of cupping and moxibustion are often used alongside acupuncture.  In cupping, a vacuum is created inside glass cups which are then left in place on the body for up to 20 minutes.  It is excellent for shifting congestion in the chest and/or to relieve muscle and joint pain.  And it is wonderfully relaxing!  Moxibustion is a procedure whereby moxa (a dried herb) is lit and as it smoulders slowly, heat permeates into the body and affects the area being treated.
