A most welcome compromise reached between traditional Eastern medicine and 21st Century medical thinking has, over the decades, resulted in the rapid growth of such alternative methods as Acupuncture, the technique of inserting and manipulating needles into acupuncture points on the body with the aim of restoring health and well-being, e.g. treating pain and diseases.
There are different types of Acupuncture -- Classical Chinese, Japanese, Tibetan, and Korean -- and are practised and taught throughout the world. Malta is happily no exception. Acupuncture services are provided at most of the Island's top aesthetic centres and health clinics where it is used in the treatment of acute and chronic pain and discomfort. It is also helpful in the management of other conditions such as alcohol and tobacco addiction.
A treatment programme often consists of one or more sessions. One of several successful acupuncture initiatives in Malta is a highly professional centre run by the Maltese and Chinese Ministries for Health. Specialists from the Nanjing Traditional Chinese Medicine University of China provide natural therapies for the treatment of pain syndromes, weight reduction, stop-smoking programmes and the adjustment of body functions without side effects. Combining your visit to Malta with a long-desired physical and psychological check-up through acupuncture could well be the solution for you.
What might seem like a chore back home becomes considerably more appealing while on holiday. So why not get one of our local experts to sort you out? It doesn't hurt and it nearly always works. Not something you can say about everything in life.
If you are interested in accupuncture or any other form of traditional Chinese medicine for that matter, contact the Mediterranean Centre for Chinese Medicine on (+356) 2169 1799.
