About the Business
Helen practices 5 Element Acupuncture which is based on Chinese medicine principles that have been developed, researched and refined for over 2,500 years. 5 Element Acupuncture is holistic, not focused on isolated symptoms. It regards pain and illness, whether physical or mental, to be a sign the whole body is out of balance. During your first visit Helen needs to gain a thorough understanding of your main complaint and your general health and lifestyle. This involves asking questions about your current symptoms and your medical history, as well as such things as your sleeping pattern, diet, appetite and digestion, and your emotional wellbeing.
Women are also asked about their menstrual cycle and any past pregnancies and childbirth. Helen will also take your pulse on both wrists and may examine your tongue and feel for areas of muscular tension or pain. Helen is likely to suggest ways in which you can enhance the long-term effects of your treatment.
