Acupuncture and Naturopathy
in County Roscommon, Leitrim & Sligo
Acupuncture is an aspect of traditional Chinese medicine that has been practised in the Far East for thousands of years.
It is based on the understanding that energy, known as qi, flows throughout the body via channels or meridians. When a person's qi gets blocked or is deficient, the body is no longer balanced and this results in ill health.
Acupuncture involves the insertion of extremely fine needles along specific points, to clear these energy blockages or increase the flow of qi in someone who may be deficient. It is a holistic form of medicine and improves both the patient's physical and emotional well-being.
Acupuncture is considered safe for all ages and can be used effectively alongside conventional medicine.
Some people turn to acupuncture for help with a specific symptom or condition. Others choose to have treatment to help maintain good health, as a preventive measure, or to improve their general sense of well-being. Because traditional acupuncture aims to treat the whole person rather than specific symptoms in isolation, it can be effective for a range of conditions.
The World Health Organisation lists conditions for which acupuncture has been found to be effective through research.
This information is available on their website.

What Our Patients Say
"I saw Erika as my husband and I had been trying unsuccessfully to start a family and were about to commence ivf treatment. Erika was an amazing support and the acupuncture really helped with the side effects of treatment. I really had very few side effects and found the treatment to be relaxing. I became pregnant and continued the acupuncture throughout my pregnancy. The acupuncture really helped keep nausea and heartburn at bay and I had a good pregnancy. We are blessed now with baby Thomas and I really believe that Erika's support played a huge part in bringing him to this world. I wholeheartedly recommend her." Louise
"I started to have acupuncture 4 months ago because I had been having cluster headaches every week for the last 6 years. After having 5 sessions with Erika - who is lovely - I am feeling great, my headaches have completely gone and sleeping much better." Angela
