My Treatments
Please wear loose and comfortable clothing. It is recommended to eat a light meal before treatment. Please do not brush or scrape your tongue before your appointment.
During your first acupuncture consultation, you will be asked about your medical history along with any medications / supplements that you take. Your tongue will be examined and pulse taken, these are diagnostic tools in traditional Chinese medicine.
You will then lie down on the treatment couch and have very fine needles inserted into various points of your body. You may feel a tingling sensation when the needles are inserted. Acupuncture needles are sterile and hygienic and are disposed of after use. The needles will then be left in for 20-30 minutes. You will likely feel very relaxed during this time.
It’s not just about the needles. Depending on your condition different techniques may be used during your treatment that include massage, cupping, Gua sha, and moxibustion.
Cupping therapy is a technique where cups are placed on the skin to create a vacuum. The vacuum draws fresh blood to the area to promote healing and reduce inflammation. In traditional Chinese medicine it is believed that cupping will improve the flow of qi through the body.
Gua sha is a technique where a smooth-edged tool is used to scrape the skin. It is thought to release stagnant energy and promote blood flow. It is believed that Gua sha will stimulate the lymphatic system which helps with detoxification and reducing puffiness and improving circulation by increasing blood flow, reducing inflammation, and promoting healing.
Moxibustion involves burning a herb close to acupuncture points. The heat that it generates will stimulate the flow of qi and blood which can help to improve the body’s natural healing process.
The number of acupuncture treatments needed varies depending on the condition and how the body reacts. Generally, 1-2 treatments per week for six weeks is recommended. Many people will continue with a monthly maintenance treatment.

NADA (National Acupuncture Detoxification Association) is a form of auricular (ear) acupuncture. Needles are placed in ears for up to 40 minutes to stimulate the nervous system and release endorphins. This promotes better sleep, deep relaxation, calmness, supports detoxification, and decreases stress.
At KAD Wellness, NADA is used in our relaxation room whilst lying on a treatment couch under a weighted blanket (believed to improve sleep, reduce anxiety and stress and manage anxiety) whilst listening to a guided meditation. It can also be combined with a foot massage for a restorative rest.
