At Acuwell, we aim to treat allailments through a holistic assessment of each individual, identifying imbalances in the body which need restoring. While many common conditions may seem completely different, treatment methods are often similar as the core issue is a deficiency or blockage in the body. The following is not an exhaustive list, but a summary of common conditions which we can assist with.
Allergies
Many people are susceptible to allergies and asthma, especially in Melbourne which has a dry atmosphere and an abundance of common allergens such as pollens and spores. Chinese medicine recognises that most allergies are an indication of a respiratory issue, otherwise known as dampness caused by excessive allergens or pathogens not moving properly through the body. Symptoms can be relieved with a personalised treatment plan which may include dietary changes, herbal medicine, acupuncture or cupping.
Cosmetic
At Acuwell, we understand that a healthy body will be reflected by a healthy appearance. When internal blockages and deficiencies are treated, tension is released from the skin and muscles which leads to healthy, glowing complexion. Treatments are available to focus on lifting the skin, reducing wrinkles and fine lines, healing scar tissue, and brightening the skin.
Eye Conditions
Many problems with the eyes begin with insufficient circulation in the area, or because of tension in the cornea. When treated early, vision issues such as myopia (short-sightedness) can be prevented or reduced entirely. Chinese medicine can also bring relief to conditions such as presbyopia (long-sightedness due to stiffening of the cornea), dry eyes, black spots in the vision, or watery eyes.
Insomnia
Not all sleep conditions are the same, so here at Acuwell we take the time to thoroughly discuss your symptoms and develop and appropriate treatment plan. Whether you can’t fall asleep, wake too easily during the night, or can’t fall asleep after waking, we will work with you to balance the yin and yang of the body, commonly using methods such as acupuncture and herbal teas.
Pain
Pain is always related to the nervous system, and is caused when pressure is placed on a nerve, sending a distress signal to the brain. In cases of acute pain, we work with you to restore circulation and remove blockages in the body’s meridians. In the case of chronic pain, the goal is the same, however it may take more time to reverse structural changes in the body which have developed in response to the pain, such as severe muscle tension.
Weight Loss
Excess weight can be causes by either increased intake, or decreased output. At Acuwell, we can help restore balance in your body, bringing appetite back to a healthy level and helping with satiation, often through the use of herbal teas. Treatments such as acupuncture and cupping are also used to improve digestive function.
Women’s Health
Health concerns such as menstrual pain, heavy bleeding, infertility, or other problems, are caused by an imbalance of the reproductive system. At Acuwell we take the time to thoroughly investigate your symptoms, and identify the imbalance in your body. This can be treated to restore normal circulation and temperature, and releasing tension and strain on the body, and providing proper nutrition through dietary changes and Chinese medicine.
