Exeter Quayside Acupuncture

During lockdown, Exeter Quayside Acupuncture will remain open to patients in need of urgent care or who are in high need of treatment. Because of this, I am unable to undertake any cosmetic work or to give treatments that are purely for relaxation and enhanced wellbeing – only medical acupuncture is permitted. But if you are suffering from high levels of emotional distress or pain that interferes with the running of your daily life, please do still get in touch.

As the season turns to cold and damp, I am using moxa more frequently. This wonderful herb (Artemisia vulgaris) is used extensively in Chinese medicine … so much so that the Chinese name for acupuncture is moxa-needle. Moxa is burnt to smoulder over acupuncture points, invigorating the body and warming places that feel cold or more painful in cold or damp weather. It can be applied safely in many different ways, some of which are in my moxa tray in the photo.
