ACUPUNCTURE & TOYOHARI
ACUPUNCTURE & TOYOHARI
What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture works to help maintain your body’s equilibrium. It involves the use of very fine needles at specific points on the body to regulate the flow of ‘qi’, your body’s vital energy and restore vitality.
Lifestyle and environmental factors, can lead "qi" to become disturbed, depleted or blocked, which can result in pain, loss of function or disease. In many instances, acupuncture can be an effective therapy to help restore balance and promote physical and emotional harmony.
Some people choose acupuncture for help with a specific symptom or condition. Others choose to have preventive treatment to help maintain good health and wellbeing.
Because traditional acupuncture aims to treat the whole person rather than specific symptoms in isolation, it can be effective for a wide range of conditions. You may notice other niggling problems resolve as your main complaint improves.

What is Toyohari?
Toyohari is an extremely subtle acupuncture style derived from classical Chinese medicine. It's gentle approach developed in Japan, where acupuncture has been uniquely influenced by a four-hundred year old tradition of blind acupuncturists.
Practitioners use specialised needle techniques unique to Toyohari, which are very gentle and non-invasive. These include a variety of specific techniques for supplementation and dispersion, and use superfine needles, particularly silver needles for supplementation. Treatment effects are both subtle and strong, and can also be carefully controlled.
In 2009 the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence recommended that acupuncture should be made available on the NHS, as a cost-effective short-term treatment for the management of early, persistent non-specific lower back pain.
