5 Elements Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a traditional healing practice that involves several key elements essential to its effectiveness. First, the practitioner uses fine needles that are inserted at specific points on the body, known as acupuncture points, to stimulate energy flow and promote healing.

Second, the concept of Qi, or life energy, is fundamental, as it is believed that Qi flows through pathways in the body called meridians.

Third, the balance of Yin and Yang is crucial, representing opposing forces that when harmonised contribute to overall health and well-being. Fourth, the understanding of the Five Elements—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water—provides a framework for diagnosing health issues and determining treatment strategies.

Lastly, the practitioner often takes into account the individual’s lifestyle, emotions, and physical condition to create a holistic treatment plan that addresses both the symptoms and underlying causes of ailments.

Fertility Acupuncture

Acupuncture is widely recognized as a supportive therapy for improving fertility and reproductive health in both women and men. It works by addressing key factors that influence conception, such as regulating the menstrual cycle, improving blood flow to the reproductive organs, and optimizing egg and sperm quality. Treatment is deeply customized to the individual, often focusing on reducing stress and anxiety which are critical elements known to impact hormonal balance while also complementing conventional medical treatments like IVF or IUI by preparing the body to be more receptive and creating an optimal environment for conception.

Facial Acupuncture

Facial acupuncture is a well-being and aesthetic treatment. It is an extension of traditional acupuncture aiming to balance your skin in the most natural way.  

Needles are thin like hair. The whole magic of working with needles is to create tiny, very positive microtraumas for your skin, so then our clever body senses them and goes into a powerful repair mode.

Facial acupuncture stimulates circulation, nutrients and oxygen rush to your skin to nourish it. The production of collagen increases and what you can notice after treatment is an increase in your skin elasticity, brighter complexion, fine lines and wrinkles slowly fading away.  Natural magic!

Anti-ageing changes like firmness, softening of lines, brightness of skin will last after the series of treatment. Length and frequency of the treatments depends on the condition of your skin, age, diet. Your acupuncturist, Aleks,  will work with you and your unique body and will advise you on a number of treatments.

First treatment is all about getting to know the needle and simply falling in love with them. It is the best way to learn about needles and welcome them into your life!
