Grief, anger and sadness are not well tolerated by society so rather than being able to truly express ourselves we often choose to put a brave face on and say "it could be worse"! Acupuncture can help with the subtle balance of energy within us and acupuncturists understand that suppressed emotions can affect the smooth flow of energy within us. Blocks in energy can cause all sorts of problems from skin issues to anxiety. Acupuncture is an ancient system of medicine practiced for thousands of years in China, Japan and other eastern countries. Now well established in the west as complementary or alternative therapy to conventional medicine it can offer help for a range of mental, emotional and physical problems without the use of drugs. There are many styles of acupuncture and they can vary significantly. The word acupuncture just means puncturing the skin and it is often preceded by other words such as Five Element or western style which identifies the difference.
