Acupuncture works by stimulating the blood vessels, nervous system and immune system to help the body to heal itself. The treatment can focus on relieving pain, improve the function of organs, strengthen the immune system, aid the digestive system, regulate the metabolism and hormones. It is also can be used to complement IVF treatments, and support pregnant women through pregnancy and postpartum.

Illness and pain occur when the Qi (vital energy that passes through meridians in our bodies) can not flow freely. The concept of inserting ultra-fine sterile and disposable needles (hair width) into specific acupuncture points, intent then, to restore this free flow of qi and trigger the body's natural healing response, stimulates the sensory nerves located under the skin and in the muscles to produce natural substances. The release of these naturally substances encourage healing mechanisms to activate and are responsible for the beneficial effects experienced with acupuncture.

Facial acupuncture uses a holistic approach based on the Traditional Chinese Medicine principles blended with modern bioscience to target skin ageing and facial concerns. The technique is safe and effective to tone, uplift the face, reduce fine lines and wrinkles and release stress and facial traumas. By creating a positive micro-trauma the skin responds with an increased number of growth factors responsible for the production of collagen and elastin. The result of it is more firmness and elasticity. It also encourages skin microcirculation by increasing blood circulation resulting in more oxygen and nourishment to the skin.

Very tiny sterile needles made specifically to be used on the face are inserted on specific points, using different techniques. The patient then relaxes for a few minutes, the needles are removed and a relaxing massage is applied on the face using a selection of 100% natural Ilapothecary products to potentialise the treatment outcome.

Traditional systems of medicine tell us that the abdomen is the powerhouse of the body and that all ailments result from an imbalance in the abdominal area.

80% of our immune system originates in the gut, and many modern day ailments can be helped and often cured through the digestive system.

We use a warmed castor oil packing system after the abdominal massage with extracts of Liquorice, Pfaffia and Juniper berry to stimulate, detoxify and strengthen.
