Pauline Ronson Acupuncturist

Acupuncture is an ancient system of healing developed over 3000 years ago as part of the traditional medicine of China. The aim of the treatment is to restore the balance of the universal energy Qi (pronounced chee) in the body, through inserting fine needles into strategic points. Qi consists of Yin and Yang and these two opposite, but complementary, forces need to be in balance otherwise disease or illness occurs. Acupuncture, therefore, is a natural, safe, gentle and effective way of treating any form of ill health you may be experiencing. The focus is on YOU as an individual and your unique experience of your body and yourself. Your body strives to be healthy or balanced. When it is 'out of balance' physically, mentally or emotionally we feel 'unwell'. The list is endless and as a consequence the body's healing capacity becomes compromised. The result can be physical or mental discomfort and increased susceptibility to illness.
