Body Therapies
The Water Garden is home to some of the finest holistic therapists in the St Albert / Edmonton area.
Acupuncture enhances energy and blood flow in the body, stimulating the immune, glandular and hormonal systems and the body’s natural ability to heal. Hair-thin needles re-activate areas of stagnation and target the root cause of symptoms, leading to pain relief, balance and calm in the nervous system. Acupuncture originates from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and has been used to treat a broad range of common and chronic ailments for thousands of years. Acupuncture and other forms of TCM can address the underlying causes of imbalance not just the symptoms.
Homeopathy is based on the principle that “like cures like”: any substance which produces symptoms in a healthy person, can, once diluted, cure similar symptoms in a sick person by activating the body’s natural healing response. Homeopathy delivers individual, specifically tailored remedies in the form of dilutions in drops of water. Used by the British Royal Family and millions worldwide, homeopathy can be used preventatively, and addresses all conditions. It is safe and gentle, making it especially appropriate for children.
Integrated Health Consultations are an in-depth exploration of your particular health issues from a holistic perspective, whether you have ongoing, chronic or acute concerns. These sessions will help you find out what's wrong, using the combined knowledge of conventional, complementary and alternative medical knowledge in the fields of acupuncture, naturopathy, homeopathy, nutrition and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
These sessions are delivered by Gunnar Hansen, who has many years experience as a GP in Germany. Combined with his extensive expertise in traditional, complementary and alternative approaches to healthcare, Gunnar delivers exceptional diagnostic skills and suggested treatment plans. These sessions are also extremely powerful in dealing with addictions.
The Water Garden Spa and Wellness Centre also offers a whole range of massage therapies and reflexology. You can find these appointment types in our Massage section
60 minutes $85. Sessions may be shorter and used as part of other treatment programs and protocols.
Acupuncture
enhances energy and blood flow in the body, stimulating the immune,
glandular and hormonal systems and the body’s natural ability to
heal. Hair-thin needles re-activate areas of stagnation and target
the root cause of symptoms, leading to pain relief, balance and calm
in the nervous system. Acupuncture originates from Traditional
Chinese Medicine and has been used to treat a broad range of common
and chronic ailments for thousands of years.
The technique uses hair-thin needles to stimulate specific areas on the body called acupuncture points. These points located on channels, or 'meridians', which carry the life force energy called 'Qi', (chi). Qi circulates through the body connecting exterior tissues and muscles with interior organs and glands. Acupuncture needles stimulate the meridians, clearing blockages and strengthening the flow of Qi. This maximizes the body's natural ability to heal.
People experience acupuncture differently. Often people don't feel anything when needles are inserted, while others feel sensations ranging from a dull ache to electric tingling. Many people feel relaxed during the treatment and energized afterwards.
Acupuncture is often delivered in conjunction with other modalities such as herbal remedies, massage, homeopathy and naturopathy according to your needs. Your therapist may also include these in your session. Acupuncture is an important tool in the Traditional Chinese Medicine system, which seeks to restore balance to our physical, mental and emotional
health by stimulating the body's natural healing process to bring the body
back into balance. It is when our bodies are out of balance that they
become vulnerable to illness. Acupuncture and other forms of TCM can
address the underlying causes of imbalance not just the symtoms.
Acupuncture does not interfere with medication; however, as treatments
start to improve your health, you may need to consult your doctor about
the amount of medication you require.
