Acupuncture Kyoko Durnall

Acupuncture is a tried and tested system of medicine. The Chinese and other eastern cultures have been using acupuncture to restore, promote and maintain good health for thousands of years. Nowadays more and more people are finding this long established therapy can offer an effective solution to all manner of today's ills. Good health is not just the absence of pain or disease. Traditional acupuncture works to maintain the body's equilibrium by focusing on all aspects of wellbeing, physical, mental, and emotional. According to traditional Chinese philosophy, our health is dependent on the body's motivating energy moving in a smooth and balanced way through a series of channels beneath the skin. This energy is known as qi. The flow of qi can be disturbed by any number of factors. These include emotional states such as anxiety, anger, or grief, as well as poor nutrition, hereditary factors, infections, and trauma. When the qi is unbalanced, illness may result. The acupuncturist inserts ultra fine needles at chosen points along the channels of energy. The aim is to stimulate the body's own healing response and restore its natural balance. Treatment is aimed at the root of your condition, as well as your symptoms. This approach can lead to a more permanent resolution of your problem.

I am an Acupuncturist and Herbalist in St Albans, Hertfordshire. For over 15 years I have been combining Traditional Chinese Medicine (Acupuncture/Fertility Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine) with massage, Shiatsu, dietary recommendations, life style advice, and breathing method for deep relaxation to give caring, supportive and effective treatment. The focus of treatment is to use Traditional Chinese diagnosis to improve the overall well being of the patient, promoting self-healing rather than the isolated treatment of specific symptoms.
