IN THIS modern age, where sedentary lifestyle and stress are the causes of migraines, back pain, depression, tinnitus, weight issues, infertility, chronic fatigue and many more ailments, it is good to remember that human beings have always used plants and holistic medicinal techniques as a remedy.
This is why Leslie Salazar has opened an acupuncture and homeopathy holistic clinic, to give people an alternative treatment for common ailments. Using holistic therapies in her clinic helps your body to regain balance and combat the symptoms that you present with.
Leslie previously operated a clinic in Dublin but, due to the pandemic and personal reasons, she decided to move it to Limerick.
For those who have not had the opportunity to try traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture treatment uses small needles at key points to move energy and blood circulation, which helps your body heal. This helps a range of issues from arthritic pain and sports injuries, to hormonal imbalance such as depression, infertility etc.
Another branch of Chinese medicine, made popular by footballers and athletes in the Olympics, is cupping. Many athletes have been seen with round bruises on their body, as this treatment is based on suction cups that move blood and energy. Cupping is recommended for back pain and muscle strains.
Another treatment that Leslie offers is homeopathy, which originated in Germany, with medical doctor Samuel Hahnemann using plants and minerals as an alternative treatment to stimulate the body’s own healing power.
Homeopathy addresses a multitude of symptoms, and may be used in chronic conditions and where there is no specific diagnosis. It may also help with asthma, hayfever, skin conditions, anxiety, and depression. However, it is recommended that patients keep in touch with their regular GP.
Leslie Salazar, an Accredited Acupuncturist and Homeopath invites you to discover her treatments in her clinic at 18 Mallow St, Limerick.
