In acupuncture, very fine sterilized needles are used onto specific spots on your body. The most you will experience is a dull ache around the base of the inserted needle but the sensation is usually brief.

Acupuncture can be combined with your current medication as it does not involve its own medication. Always check with your doctor before starting acupuncture and do not stop taking your conventional medicine or alter the dose without the knowledge and approval of your doctor.

One session of acupuncture can take an hour. On average 6 to 12 sessions of acupuncture, once or twice in a week are recommended. Chronic or severe conditions may require more sessions.

Ayurveda or Ayurvedic medicine is a system of traditional medicine originated in India 5000 years ago, which uses a range of therapies, including panchakarma (‘five actions for detox’) , shirodhara, massage, marma therapy, ayurvedic herbs / treatment, yoga, dietary and life style advise to encourage health and well-being.

Fundamental principle of ayurveda is to treat a patient on a holistic level. It focuses on the root cause of the disease. The time required to improve a health problem will depend on the severity of pre-existing condition. Ayurvedic treatment can show improvements in a relatively shorter time if diet, lifestyle advice and ayurvedic medicine, prescribed by Ayurvedic Doctor, are followed up regularly.

There are two methods broadly classified in ayurveda as treatments are: 1. Alleviating therapy (Shamana Chikitsa) and 2. Purification therapy (Soddhana Chikitsa).
