HOLISTIC PRACTICE PHILOSOPHY
Chinese Medicine adopts a holistic approach to the patient. To treat you effectively, your acupuncturist will first take your personal case history, to understand more about your personality, character, habits and way of life before creating a unique tailored treatment plan to help you become whole again.
Daria undertook a four-year course in Chinese Medicine at the world-famous College of Integrated Chinese Medicine in Reading, UK.
She strives to ensure that Aculives holistic acupuncture clinic tailors bespoke treatments to help you.
Seasonal tip
In Chinese Medicine the Spring season is governed by Wood element. Healthy Wood provides us with enough flexibility to pick up new innovations yet enough rigidity to follow them through with a defined plan. The Yin organ of Wood is the Liver, also referred to as the General, forming comprehensive campaigns and then seeing them through.
As Liver’s energy is expansive, sitting still doesn’t do it any favours. It likes movement, any movement would do – even venturing to the kitchen to make a cup of tea would be greatly appreciated by it. Better still, one can shake, stretch, and flex while waiting for the kettle to boil.
"When you touch one thing with deep awareness,
you touch everything."
- Lao Tzu

SELF-HELP ADVICE
SERVICES
ACUPUNCTURE
Using the antient art of Chinese Medicine combined with 5 Elements theory developed in the UK we are hoping to achieve our ultimate goal of bringing the "whole you" back.
ACU-FACIAL
Facial treatment using acupuncture to enhance your skin naturally. It can help smooth fine lines and wrinkles, boost collagen production through an inflammatory effect, lift sagging skin, boost blood circulation and generally boost the condition of the skin.
CUPPING
FERTILITY ACUPUCNTURE
Cupping can be used for relieving the muscular tension, moving "stuck" pathogens or invigorating your blood. This technique involves placing glass cups on your body by creating the suction and may leave characteristic circular marks (as seen on the backs of some Olympic sportsmen).
Research has been conducted into how acupuncture may boost natural fertility by:
-
balancing and regulating hormones
-
increasing blood flow to the reproductive organs
-
boosting egg growth and improving the uterus lining
-
reducing stress levels
-
improving male fertility
