acupuncture & chinese medicine
Traditional Chinese Medicine is a comprehensive medical system originally developed in China over two thousand years ago. Like Homoeopathy it is a natural and holistic medicine that views illness as a state of imbalance within the body. Acupuncture uses very fine, sterile, single use needles to activate specific points along the meridians (channels) of the body to restore the correct flow of energy. Once balance is restored the body can heal.
Qi is a term used in Chinese Medicine that is translated into English as energy but it can also be understood as information. A type of software system that directs the bodies functions which acupuncture can access and reprogram. Acupuncture is also used to help prevent illness and maintain optimal health by detecting and treating Qi imbalances before they lead to disease.
acupuncture without needles
Max is also trained in many Japanese styles of acupuncture which are painless and involve techniques without the use of needles. These include techniques developed by the Japanese master innovators Dr. Manaka and Sensei Kawai. They include the use of ion pumping cords, golden diode rings, magnets and golden teishen. Most patients find the treatments deeply relaxing.
homoeopathy
Homoeopathy is a system of medicine which uses natural plant and mineral based substances in minute doses to stimulate the body’s own healing mechanisms. It works on the principle of “like cures like”, that is, a substance that can cause symptoms in a person, can also cure those same symptoms, if given in the correct dosage.
Homoeopathic medicine is especially useful in alleviating symptoms that have not responded well to other conventional and alternative approaches. It is extremely safe , using only the minimal dose needed to produce a healing response in your body. It can be used during pregnancy and breast feeding, for infants and children, for highly sensitive individuals and for the elderly.
The remedies are inexpensive, pleasant tasting and easy to take.
naturopathy
Naturopathy is a wholistic system of medicine that acknowledges the innate intelligence our body has to heal itself when provided with all the raw material it needs and when obstacles that hinder this same process are removed. It helps to educate you in healthy eating and lifestyle patterns that promote good health by ensuring your body has what it needs to function well.
Naturopathy uses herbal medicines, food as medicine, supplements and lifestyle changes, to assist your body in achieving balance and good health. It’s also an excellent foundation for preventative medicine.
