Acupuncture is based on an understanding of the body’s 12 main energy pathways - also known as meridians. Meridians are linked to the body’s main organ systems and when they are blocked, underactive or overactive, you can experience illness in different forms. Needles are not always required for treatments but when they are, between 2 and 4 will be used and they will always be sterile and disposable. Treatment is not painful. Barbara Gair Acupuncture helps patients across Newcastle diagnose health problems and identify their source, which means we can then help your body to adjust. This ensures all pathways are working in balance. Many patients report a good night’s sleep after their treatment. A day or two later, you will start to feel the overall benefits. We use acupuncture points below the elbows and knees, meaning you can remain seated and clothed during treatment.

Barbara Gair Acupuncture has been carrying out this relatively modern form of acupuncture since 1985. This innovative therapy can be practised with or without needles. Low frequency pulses are applied at the body’s energy points through pins or electrodes to relieve pain and other health conditions. Electroacupuncture often produces faster and more effective results compared with traditional acupuncture and treatment does not involve any pain, although patients may experience a tingling sensation. Our auriculotherapy acupuncture focuses on applying pulses to points in the ear and is a very effective treatment with quick results. Sometimes a small pin is placed in the ear, out of sight, to continue treatment between sessions.

This treatment works on restoring the balance to your body’s energy. Energy from above and below flows through your body, merging to form the bio-field. When this bio-field is blocked or disturbed, your body may not be able to heal effectively. Bi-Aura therapy works to restore the balance to your energy flow using hand movements and techniques to clear blockages or restore energy. The energies that flow through your body merge at various points, known as chakras. Each one of these chakras feeds a different region of your body and by working on their alignment, I can help you achieve overall health and well-being. I am a fully qualified and experienced Bi-Aura therapist. I begin your treatment by talking to you in great detail and then scanning your bio-field carefully to establish where there are any imbalances and what is causing these. When we are ready to start working on restoring the energy levels to your chakras, you will be asked to sit or lie down but can remain fully clothed. I create a relaxing environment to allow you to feel fully at ease while I clear your energy. I use a series of hand movements to raise the vibration around blocked areas or attract energy to others. This does not provide an instant cure to your ailment, but allows your body to start healing itself effectively once more..

Dowsing is used as a technique for finding out things about a body such as allergies and finding out about remedies that might help. Vitamins, minerals and homeopathic remedy choices can help you in this regard. Dowsing can be used to advise on detrimental energy lines that may be present and to determine priorities for health treatments that can benefit your overall wellbeing. Illness, allergies, intolerances and remedies can be sought through the use of dowsing. This intuitive method can help give you solutions to questions that cannot always easily be answered. Dowsing is empowering as it helps you look from within to find the answers you need. It is not magic or a psychic power. There is no physical contact involved in dowsing. We use the pendulum technique to locate problems that may underlie emotional or bodily imbalances that can often be the cause of a physical problem such as an allergy or disease. If you are enquiring about our dowsing techniques, you do not need to be present if you do not wish to be. For example, you can provide a photograph or a lock of hair to use as a witness, get in touch and book an appointment with us today.
