A diagnosis and treatment will be formed from a holistic approach taking a full medical history, gathering information about your condition as well as tongue and pulse diagnosis. Treatment will be given to reduce the symptoms and strengthen the underlying spirit and state of health. The needles are very fine, sterile and disposable. Insertion of needles is usually painless with a sense of warmth, tingling or a tugging sensation. The effect can be very relaxing and energising.
