Exeter Acupuncture

According to traditional Chinese philosophy, which takes an holistic approach, our health is dependent on the body's motivating energy moving in a smooth balanced way through a series of channels or meridians. When the energy becomes blocked or out of balance, ill health develops. The energy can become blocked for various reasons, including, anxiety, anger, grief, poor diet, infection, trauma and hereditary factors.

The Traditional Acupuncturist focuses upon re-establishing the normal circulation of energy to support the individual towards improved health.

A recent study conducted at the University of Duisberg-Essen in Germany looked at brain scans of volunteers who were given mild electric shocks. Firstly they were given the shocks without acupuncture, and then they were given the same shocks while acupuncture needles were placed between the toes, below the knee and near the thumb.
