Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is one of the oldest healing practices in the world.
It involves the stimulation of specific acupoints in the body, to correct imbalances in the flow of
Qi (pronounced "chee") or life energy, flowing through the body's meridians.
Acupuncture focuses on drug-free pain relief and may be effective in the treatment of several acute and chronic ailments. It takes a holistic approach by addressing the underlying cause of the condition, as well as the symptoms.
Acupuncture links the body, mind and emotions. Acupuncture focuses not only on ailments but also on the prevention of disease and the maintenance of general well-being.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese Herbal Medicine is just one of the many holistic aspects of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
At InOsteopathy, herbs are prescribed in a concentrated, granular form. They are dissolved in hot water, making preparation far simpler than herbs prescribed in raw form, requiring cooking and straining before consumption.
All herbs dispensed at our clinic are TGA-approved and contain no endangered plant or animal species.
