Alba Health Acupuncture (St Albans)

Few people realise the potential of acupuncture, and even fewer know that acupuncture is not painful and can be incredibly relaxing. Acupuncture can strengthen your immune system, decrease pain by producing natural pain killers, regulate hormonal cycles and stimulate endorphin and serotonin release, the chemicals in the brain responsible for well being and happiness.

Integral to each treatment is taking the time to identify the root cause of the problem and help to achieve a healthy balance between lifestyle, nutrition and the demands of your body.

Alba Health Acupuncture is set up by Helen Gray (BSc Hons, LicAc, MBAcC) a qualified member of the British Acupuncture Council, which is the UKs regulatory body for professional acupuncturists.
