What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is the stimulation of Qi, or energy flow throughout the body through the insertion of thin stainless-steel needles into specific sites on the body.

The Qi circulates in the body through a system of channels called meridians and can be stimulated via acupuncture points located on the surface of the body. The stimulation of Qi in the meridians allows the body to rebalance from the negative impacts of daily life and disease.

Acupuncture can help with most issues and give relief and a feeling of wellbeing.

In Canada, acupuncture treatments are widely known for successfully treating muscular skeletal problems and pain. However, you may not know that acupuncture has also been used for thousands of years to treat a wide range of health issues, including but not limited to:

  • Digestive upset, e.g., gastric reflux, nausea, constipation
  • Crohn’s disease
  • Menstrual pain and irregularity
  • Respiratory problems
  • Insomnia
  • Post-stroke symptoms
  • Mental health issues
  • Lowered immunity

Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a discipline that uses homeopathic medicines to treat disease. The medicines are made through a specific means of manufacturing and are minute dilutions. My role as a homeopath is to match your symptoms to those of the medication. The treatment is based on a very detailed interview, covering your mental, physical and emotional well-being. Expect to be asked about all aspects of life including eating and sleeping habits, fears, sexuality, even patterns of elimination. Once a medication has been prescribed you will report on the effects in follow up visits. Dosages are then adjusted and if symptoms change, so will the homeopathic prescription. Please note: Home visits at an additional $10, can be arranged by emailing drjanet@hibiscushealth.ca or phoning on 778 922 1370.
