Akabane Balancing Therapy at Our Clinic in Norwich
Re-balance your body and energy with holistic therapy at Acupuncture Norwich. Serving clients throughout Norfolk and Suffolk, we provide Akabane balancing therapy for an array of mental and physical health issues. This acumoxa method assesses and tests the autonomic nervous system and its neurological pathway imbalances, which cause various symptoms. Using Japanese practises developed by acupuncturist Chi-Yu Shi and discovered by Chinese Christian deacon Dr James Tin Yau So, we tailor our services to your needs. Get in touch today to discover more.

What is an Akabane Imbalance?

The body has twelve meridians running symmetrically up and down, and left and right on each side. These meridians, or energy pathways, usually start near the fingernails and toenails. The energy must travel around the body at the same pace equally on both the left- and right-hand sides.
Rather like a plumbing system, if any of these pathways become blocked or imbalanced then you may experience various symptomatic problems in that meridian. This is nature's way of alerting you that not all is well. Correcting these imbalances will cause the symptoms to disappear.
For example:
  • Migraines, Headaches, and Insomnia – the Gall Bladder or Liver Meridian
  • Anxiety and Stress – the Bladder or Kidney Meridian
  • Vertigo, Sickness, and Menstrual Problems – the Stomach or Spleen Meridians
Please note that these symptoms can show up as imbalances in other meridians as well, which we will address at your initial consultation.

Treatment

We usually begin Five Element acupuncture treatments by checking and correcting any Akabane imbalances. This helps the body to fully benefit from treatment by starting from a perfectly balanced energy state.
The meridian points used to check for an imbalance are found on the end of the fingers and toes. These are tested by reading the heat tolerance with a heated moxa stick which is held precisely over the point being tested, approximately 3 – 4mm away from the skin.
The practitioner will count in their head, comparing the time on the left- and right-hand sides which should be equal or within a short range of each other. Any imbalance will be shown by an unequal time difference. This can simply then be rectified by needling the deficient side of the body.
When the blockage is removed, the energy returns to a balanced state. After treatment, patients’ symptoms are usually noticeably reduced or eliminated.

Who Can Benefit?

An experienced practitioner can treat any location on the body using Akabane balancing therapy. Most patients respond immediately to treatment and feel instant relief as pain signals are reset and the body relaxes. In fact, many patients begin to recognise their various weaknesses and understand that treatment is needed before anything more chronic sets in. This is where the old saying, "prevention is better than cure" comes to the fore!
