1. Traditional Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient healing art that has been developed and practiced in China during the last 3,000 years. Today it is a well-known therapy that is practiced all over the world.
In 1979 the World Health Organization formulated a list of 43 diseases that can be treated by Acupuncture. Recently however it has been reported effective for about 250 kinds of disease. Nowadays in many countries acupuncture is gradually integrated into the main stream health systems and Acupuncturists are considered as primary health care providers.
The Energy network
The Chinese had revealed the existence of an energy network that runs through distinct Meridians (channels) all over the body. Through these meridians, flows an energy life force known as Qi (roughly pronounced Chi). The meridian system is constructed like other essential networks such as the blood, nervous and lymph systems. Likewise it has its main pathways that are branched into small and minute ones. This complex network is connected to every inch and aspect of our body and thus effecting our physical, mental and spiritual being.
According to Chinese theory, disease manifests once our energy system is unbalanced and blocked. For example: Poor circulation of Qi causes pain and discomfort. Qi flowing the wrong direction will cause nausea, vomiting, coughing, diarrhea and prolapses of various organs. Deficiency of Qi causes fatigue, shortness of breath and a reluctance to talk or do anything. Excess Qi in the upper body will lead to emotional disturbance and poor sleep.
During Acupuncture treatment, fine (disposable) needles are inserted into specific points along the meridians. These needles stimulate the flow of Qi through the meridians and thus unblocking and harmonizing the whole body.

Acupuncture for Kids
Most childhood disorders (from colic to teething to asthma) respond very well to acupuncture.
In order to diagnose accurately, the Acupuncturist interviews the patient about their health complaint and their relevant history. They also feel the pulse and examine the tongue. Following this interview a few acupuncture needles will be inserted along the relevant meridians. The client is asked to lie down for 20 to 40 minutes. In most cases a treatment lasts approximately one hour. A follow up appointment is scheduled depending on the patient's condition.
As in any other form of healing, there is not a magic cure or a golden point that instantly will transform your condition and ailment. Patience and persistency are the keys for success. Be well and stay healthy.
2. Mind body Acupuncture
During the last three years, Yair has been perfecting his ability of reading the body Auras, chakras, and meridian system. By applying this ability during treatments, he helps the client understand the BODY&MIND interaction and its contribution to presenting symptoms.
Since childhood we have developed behavioural patterns that in many cases are addictive and harmful for our emotional state of happiness and physical state of well being.
Each part of our body reciprocates with and being effected by different type of thoughts and emotions. Long term internal negative attitude within one self could cause severe disturbance to our system on a physical or emotional level.
For example; Fearful thoughts will manifest mostly in the lower body, reducing our reproductive and digestive power. Low self-esteem will manifest in the abdominal area while love and rejection will mostly manifest in the chest and could interfere with our circulatory and respiratory systems.
Our energy body reflects our emotional and mental state. Each thought will immediately alter the power, direction and shape of our energy body.
When we feel comfortable with ourselves, excepting ourselves as we are, our energy body will shine strong and beautiful light, our charkas will be balanced and we feel a deep sense of contentment and joy. On the contrary, when we feel low physically or emotionally, our energy body will appear deformed in various ways.
Mind body Acupuncture; Designed to diagnose and treat false self believe systems and habitual behaviours that are leading to physical and emotional suffering.
Diagnosis is done by observing the energy body, which includes the Aura, Charkas and Meridian system. Treatment is done by first discussing the energy imbalance present in the system and trying to understand its roots.
When diagnosis is done the Acupuncture needles are inserted to restore balance to the system.
The main emphasis of this system is to rebalance the energy body and in the same time encourage the client to understand and take responsibility for its state of being.
