Acupuncture
The ancient Chinese healing art based upon links between certain points of the body and the functioning organs; when an organ is affected by illness, such points - which number about 800 - become sensitive. The points are linked together by their association with a particular organ or function and form pathways or meridians as they are called through which ch'i energy flows. The art of the acupunturist is to restore any energy imbalances and unblock the pathways by stimulating the points along them. This can be done either through superficially inserting silver or stainless steel needles into the skin, or through gentle massage or scratching points. Sometimes an aromatic plant, mugwort may be burnt over the point.
Aromatherapy
The treatment method using essential oils extracted from flowers, plants, trees and spices which are massaged into the body, inhaled, sprinkled into baths or occasionally ingested.
Ayurveda
Translated, this is the science of life and is the traditional medicine of India, dating back at least two and a half thousand years. There are five elements - fire, water, earth, air and ether.

Chiropractice
By manipulation of the joints, especially those of the spines and hands, health can be restored and maintained. It is based upon the idea that displacement of the vetabrae causes disease through impaired function of the nervous system. The system was discovered at the turn of the last century though today the practitioner may well employ the use of x-rays, physiological and neurological tests.
Family therapy
When treating an individual with family therapy, the sympton is considered to be a family issue and thus the family must be treated as a whole. The aim is to discover how the behaviours of the family members perpetuate the sympton, and to change the relationship between the members so that the sympton disappears.
Feng Shui
Literally meaning wind and water, Feng Shui is the practice of living in harmony with our environment to enhance our wellbeing. It originates from China though has only recently been embraced in the western world, and describes the enhancement of positive ch'i energy flow in our lives.

Floral essence therapy
Therapy heals at the subtle energy level of our bodies (our auras or energy field). It can help to dissolve long-standing traumas or blocks at the emotional and mental levels, by transforming fears, phobias and many negative feelings into positive, balanced states which support our well-being on all levels. After in-depth discussion with the client, the most appropriate essences are chosen and these are usually reviewed and changed every 2 weeks, until all troublesome issues or conditions are rectified. Tinctures are taken orally 2/3 times per day and are safe and natural without any contra-indications.
Homeopathy
The system of medicine based upno the idea that an illness which produces certain symptons can be cured by a substance or drug that produces the same symptons. The medications are often diluted many thousands of times. It is known commonly as treating like with like - an approach which stimulates the body to resolve the symptons itself rather than suppress them as is often done with general medicine techniques.
Hypnotherapy
There are many types of hypnotherapy available, often with differernt aims, though always with the same characteristic - the client is brought into a hypnotic state whereby they respond positively to the directions of the therapist.
