The origins of acupuncture and face reading
Acupuncture and face reading date back thousands of years to ancient China. Both were used by Taoists to diagnose potential illness, and cultivate and maintain good health. They are as relevant today in the West as they ever were in the East, with our bodies, minds and souls under increasing stress from modern society's demands, and our growing inability to keep a natural balance.
In acupuncture, treatment focuses on bringing back into alignment any emotions or organs that are out of balance, thereby restoring your body's equilibrium. For example, if you're suffering from stress symptoms such as headaches or digestive problems, your liver energy – Wood element – is out of balance. Reharmonising the liver using needles will address the physical root of the tension and stress, and so alleviate the symptoms, while work is simultaneously done on releasing any trapped or suppressed anger. In the same way, panic attacks, lower back pain and insomnia are signs of weak kidney energy – the Water element. Stimulating kidney points on your acupuncture meridians will calm and strengthen you, and help to restore good sleep patterns. As Chinese Medicine is based on basic principles, such as Yin and Yang, hot and cold, and focuses on you as an individual rather than any disease or condition, it's not fazed by western labels of disease, and can be applied to all kinds of conditions.

By treating you holistically, and coalescing your fragmented emotions, mind and body, Saffron Ellidge aims to address the root causes of your health problems, rather than just easing symptoms temporarily. This is done by applying simple but effective five-element principles, either through your body (via acupuncture) or your face (via face reading). When the five elements (Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal) are in balance, all five major organs (kidneys, liver, heart, spleen and lungs) are restored to full health.

Face reading
Face reading is an inspiring and accurate way to spot – and stop – potential health issues before they manifest physically or worsen, and is also excellent for helping you to draw on your strengths and minimise your weaknesses. In this way, it becomes an invaluable tool for fortune-telling, for if you can realise and release your full potential by tapping into your true instincts and intuitive knowledge, and identify your life's purpose, you can begin truly to change the course of your life and become a more robustly healthy, integrated and contented human being.
The original Taoist symbol depicts a man running along a road – he has found his life path, and is so inspired and fired up, he runs instead of meanders or dawdles. Tapping into these ancient arts provides a glimpse into your full potential – and ultimately can lead you towards true Taoist inner alchemy.
In your face-reading consultation, Saffron aims to rekindle your inner sense of self, identify emotional blocks and possible health issues, and inspire you to live your life to the full, maximising your potential in love, health, career and creativity.
