Conditions Treated
Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine are holistic therapies whose aim is to enable the body’s healing processes to work as effectively as possible. Symptoms are viewed as the external signs of systemic imbalances, and treatment is targeted at these underlying causes rather than merely at the symptoms.
This means it can help in a wide range of conditions, including
- infertility
- chronic pain
- migraine
- insomnia
The World Health Organisation has indicated that acupuncture may be of benefit in over 100 different conditions.
The Journal of Chinese Medicine has a list of conditions which can be treated by acupuncture, together with research findings on each.
