Ella integrates the best of knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine to help people with issues such as chronic or acute pain, women's health and fertility, facial paulsy, skin problems, digestive problems, smoking addiction, anxiety, insomnia and many more. Traditional Chinese Medicine is based on an energetic model rather than the biochemical model of Western medicine. The ancient Chinese recognised the vital energy Qi flowing in the human body along specific pathways called meridians. Each meridian is associated with particular internal organs. When the energy becomes blocked, disease occurs. The meridians communicate with the surface of the body at specific locations called acupuncture points. Needles inserted in these points influence the Qi and help internal organs.Using pulse and tongue diagnosis, along with findings from other signs and symptoms, the practitioner defines a treatment plan.
