Acupuncture and chinese medicine

According to traditional chinese medicine your health reflects your body’s vital energy – qi. Your qi is affected by your emotions as well as your physical wellbeing, and by your environment and lifestyle. 

Acupuncture uses fine needles the width of a hair inserted at defined points to stimulate and balance your qi as it flows through a network of channels called meridians in your body. It is a branch of traditional chinese medicine which comprises lifestyle and nutrition, herbs, massage, meditation and exercise. 

Viveka has an established tradition of using acupuncture to enhance your health and wellbeing and to treat disease, pain and emotional turbulence such as anxiety and depression. We use it to balance the function of your internal organs and to boost your hormones, your circulation and your energy. Women find it a powerful support for fertility and menstrual disorders as well as in pregnancy and for induction of labour. Ongoing acupuncture treatments keep your energy flowing freely and help to prevent illness. 

We offer acupuncture as a stand-alone treatment or integrated with our specialist medical services and other complementary therapies as we focus on your overall body-mind health.
