Acupuncture & Moxibustion
Acupuncture
Acupuncture has an extraordinary ability to change people’s lives and its effectiveness is the reason for its increasing popularity and acceptance by orthodox health practitioners. A survey recently in the Times described acupuncture as one of the best researched and most effective of the complementary medicines.
It is not painful to have done. Acupuncture is often used in combination with other physiotherapy techniques, such as massage or joint mobilisations. All needles are sterile and single use only.
Acupuncture as practised at The Etherow Clinic and by members of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC), is an holistic approach to health, based on over 2,000 years of development and refinement in the Far East. The tradition is as much about the maintenance of health as the management of disease.
Although sometimes described merely as a means of pain relief, traditional acupuncture is actually used to treat people with a wide range of illnesses. Its focus is on improving the overall wellbeing of the patient, rather than the isolated treatment of specific symptoms. The skill of an acupuncturist lies in their ability to make a traditional diagnosis from what is often a complex pattern of disharmony. The exact pattern and degree of disharmony is unique to each individual and so following diagnosis, the acupuncturist puts together a personalised treatment plan.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion is a procedure whereby moxa, a dried herb, is used on specific acupuncture points. At our clinic, the herb is lit and placed on the end of the acupuncture needle. As it smoulders slowly, heat and vibration permeates into the body and affects the flow of energy and blood in the area being treated.
The choice of when, where and which form of moxibustion to use is a matter of clinical judgement for the properly trained practitioner as care is needed to ensure that the burning moxa does not make direct contact with the skin.
Moxibustion produces a smoke while being applied. If you have any concerns with this type of therapy, please speak to one of the therapists prior to your treatment.
Auricular Acupuncture
Ear acupuncture is a unique complimentary therapy that originated in China 3000 years ago. Over the years ear acupuncture has always been a popular method of treatment in China, however, much research and development has been carried out in Europe over the past 50 years. Therefore, it is now considered effective by both Chinese and Western Medicine.
Ear acupuncture is a very effective holistic method of treatment for most chronic complaints. This sophisticated mechanism aids the body’s natural healing process in many ways.

Body Health Check
What is a Body Health Check?
Staff at the Etherow Clinic have over fifteen years’ experience of using the latest bioenergetic equipment, which provides a non-invasive testing method by performing a multitude of tests in a short space of time. The Etherow Clinic Body Health Check simplifies diagnosis and optimises therapy. This test helps ascertain the most compatible and effective treatment or prescription for each individual patient.
Why have a Body Health Check?
Allergy testing for food and airborne sensitivities is done using the latest bioenergetic technology to measure the body's reaction to food, airborne and chemical substances, as most ailments and everyday symptoms can be caused through sensitivities in the body.
Once the offending items are identified advice on the appropriate treatment and exclusion of the sensitivities is tailored to the individual to help restore health and balance to its maximum potential and avoid recurrence of the symptoms.
It can help with many ailments from Irritable Bowel Syndrome/Constipation/Diahorrea/
digestive problems/weight issues/fatigue/depression/Eczema/Asthma/headaches/ME/ hyperactivity/Arthritis and many more ailments which may be caused by these sensitivities.
The Etherow Clinic Body Health Check includes an evaluation of the following:
- Acid/alkaline balance
- Lymph stress
- Bacterial and viral infections
- Vitamin/mineral trace element deficiencies
- Mercury intox test
- Energetic health of organs
- Microbial plane – fungi, parasites, worms, bacteria, viruses, yeasts, moulds, Candida
- Allergy indicators - allergies and environmental sensitivities
- Food sensitivities
- Chakra and psychological stresses
- Immune deficiency
- Therapy check – advice on which therapies are most effective
Many patients come to us because they have lost faith with Western Medicine testing and have had little or no success in diagnosing and treating their symptoms.
Using the Body Health Check, we have identified the root cause of health concerns for countless patients who have experienced symptoms such as extreme fatigue, joint pains, unexplained weight gain and feeling generally unwell and advised an appropriate treatment strategy to help them to regain their health.
How is the Body Health Check carried out?
The test takes approximately 45 minutes and is performed using a probe against the finger or relevant points on the body. We are only assessing energy, and this is done by passing a small frequency from the finger of one hand to the brass held in the opposite hand (no sensation is felt). From the information we gain we make recommendations using holistic methods such as detoxification, dietary advice, homeopathic remedies, acupuncture, nutritional supplements and lifestyle changes.
After the test has been satisfactorily completed, the patient receives a printed report and explanation of their test results. Appropriate treatment strategies will be discussed and advice given, however, at The Etherow Clinic, we leave it up to the patient to decide whether they wish to purchase any additional supplements or book any treatment sessions.
Food Intolerance Testing
There is a lot of confusion about the terms food intolerance and food allergy. Food allergy is different from food intolerance in that it is a rapid response by the body's immune system to a particular food. In this type of reaction, the body's immune system mistakes a food for an 'invader' often resulting in a rapid allergic reaction within minutes. This type of allergic reaction is commonly associated with nut and seafood allergies.
Food intolerance is a condition with a mixture of symptoms and can be difficult to recognise and diagnose. Those affected often suffer for years without knowing the proper steps to take, unable to enjoy normal life and activities and in some cases, unable to work. However, people react differently and food hypersensitivity takes on different forms such as:
- Chemical sensitivities - reactions to food additives or chemicals in foods.
- Enzyme deficiencies - lactose intolerance.
- Reaction to histamine in foods.
- Yeast overgrowth, which in severe cases, may cause Candida.
We carry out testing for food intolerances using the latest bioenergetic technology to measure the body's reaction to foods. Once the offending items are identified, advice on the appropriate treatment and exclusion of the sensitivities is tailored to the individual to help restore health and balance to its maximum potential and avoid recurrence of the symptoms.
Many ailments and everyday symptoms can be caused through sensitivities in the body, common symptoms include:
- Abdominal pains
- Aches and pains
- Asthma
- Arthritis
- Bloating
- Constipation
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
- Diarrhoea
- Eczema
- Fatigue
- Fibromyalgia
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
- Fluid retention
- Headaches
- Lethargy
- Restless Leg Syndrome
- Rhinitis
- Sinusitis
- Skin problems
- Stomach cramps
- Tension
- Urticaria
- Weight loss
Flower Remedy Testing
Baileys Flower Essences work exclusively on an emotional level, seeking to balance mind, body and spirit. The test uses the latest bioenergetic diagnostic testing procedure, which is non-invasive, and takes only 15 minutes. It produces an individual remedy specific to the patient; far superior to general over-the- counter ‘self-prescribing’ remedies which can be bought in stores. The price of the test includes the first remedy, which is mixed immediately for you to take away with you.
The remedies are all prepared from the flowers of wild plants, bushes or trees. They are completely harmless and are prescribed according to the sufferer's state of mind rather than addressed directly to the physical complaint. It is well known that long periods of stress, such as fear, worry or guilt will deplete our personal vitality, making us feel out of sorts and unable to get things done. Physical symptoms range from chronic fatigue, memory loss, weak muscles, insomnia, anxiety attacks etc, to name just a few. Under these conditions the body loses its resistance to disease, the immune system is weakened and therefore becomes prey to infection and many forms of illness; whether it is a cold, rheumatism , digestive disorders or more serious conditions. Therefore it is the patient as an individual who needs treating rather than the disease.
What is it good for?
Their uses cover a range of mental and emotional states. People can use flower remedies effectively whenever they feel that they are not coping very well, or if they have lost their zest for life. When a person feels more balanced, then often the physical symptoms of pain or insomnia for example, clear. As indicated above, these remedies can also be used if we feel abandoned, guilty, alone or simply lacking in motivation and confidence.
How may it affect you after treatment?
There are no physical side effects to be considered; sometimes you can feel emotional, anxious or a bit angry for the first day or two as feelings come to the surface to release, and pass. The majority of people feel the benefits in a very short time; feeling calmer, more focussed and self-confident. Bad dreams stop and in many cases after some treatment people make significant and positive changes in their lives. Sometimes the shift is subtle, like opening themselves to new experiences or forgiving someone who has hurt them.
