Colchester Acupuncture Clinic

Facial Acupuncture is a natural, non-surgical, non-invasive and safe alternative method of facial rejuvenation. Our face and eyes are both our identification to the outer world and a reflection of our body's internal world of health, vitality, with our thoughts and feelings in our expressions.

So much so that face reading is part of the diagnosis of the body's internal health in Chinese Medicine and constitutes part of the facial treatment plan specifically tailored and unique to each client.

All types of healing function on the principle of healing the trinity of Mind, Body and Spirit, integrating these aspects into a state of co-operative harmony and balance of all three Mental/Emotional, Physical and Soul levels. Healing offers the opportunity for each individual to release built-up negative emotions and reconnect with their inner sense of peace and wisdom.

Acupuncture for women's health has been shown by recent studies to have a positive effect on the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, the body's internal process that keeps the female reproductive system balanced thereby helping to alleviate symptoms of menstrual cramping, ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids and breast cysts, endometriosis and menopausal distress.

Here are the questions I get asked frequently about acupuncture and the other treatments I offer. If you also have a question then it is likely covered here. If not, please do feel free to get in contact by either phone or email and I will be happy to answer your question.

Acupuncture needles are not the same as hypodermic needles used in surgeries, they are microfine thin and depending on where they are used in the body either can be felt as minute pinprick at first on insertion or often barely felt at all.On occasion when it is necessary to use points at the hands or feet, they are felt more initially but within a matter of seconds, this fades away.
