We often think that our bodies and minds are separate and function independently. At the same time, we understand that’s not the whole story. We know that our emotions can affect us physically. For example, we know that a scary experience gets our heart beating faster, but it can be harder to realize that loneliness, sadness or depression can also have a physical effect on our organs and physical health.

Acupuncture
Although people have been benefiting from the practice of acupuncture for more than two thousand years, it is as relevant today as it has ever been and is recognised as being a highly effective way of treating many of modern life’s challenges, including stress, digestive problems, phobias and addictions.
