The needles used are not like those for injections, they are solid, very fine and flexible and are usually not felt as they penetrate the skin. Often patients experience a brief sensation of warmth, slight aching or electricity as the needle is inserted from a few millimeters to over an inch (depending on the body area). The sensation is described in the acupuncture literature as “De Qi” or the arrival of Chi. In other words it is a good thing.
Treatment consist of placing one or several needles, into the skin, depending on the condition.
Treatments generally last from 20 to 60 minutes and the patient rests quietly with the needles in place.

The National Institute of Health in 1997 stated that Acupuncture was effective in the “post operative and chemotherapy nausea and in post operative dental pain, addiction, stroke rehabilitation, headache, tennis elbow. Fibryomalgia, low back pain and disorders, carpal tunnel syndrome and for which Acupuncture may be useful as an adjunct or acceptable alternative or be included in a comprehensive management program.

Body Constitution

Inherent Weaknesses

Levels of health

Chemical and Nutritional needs

An Iridology consultation is approximately one hour long. During the course of the consultation, the eye is examined with a light, the findings are charted; we then discuss what health issues the eye's tissues have revealed, changes to diet and supplementation with Herbs or Homeopathies that will allow the body to return to a health state. The Sclera is also analyzed at the same time as this reveals, like the Iris all the tissues and conditions of the organs, glands and body systems.
