Part of our ethos at Rana Health is to have many therapeutic tools in our basket so that we can offer as many health support ideas as possible, with this in mind there is often a cross over in terms of what I may suggest for treatment options. For example, you may have Acupuncture treatment for Arthritis in your hands but we see the need to incorporate small amounts of massage for your arms, as well as dietary and supplementary advice or remedies that you can do at home, such as a Castor Oil pack.
Health Conditions we commonly treat, but are not limited to:
Hormonal Imbalances: This includes mens and womens health, from teenage years though to post-menopause. We live in a world that is increasingly toxic in its overload of endocrine disrupting agents, this directly affects the hormonal system, and often requires attention to function in a balanced flow state.
Fertility: We provide herbal, naturopathic and acupuncture support to assist you on your fertility journey, from preconception through to postpartum and beyond.
Musculoskeletal conditions: We have long been a clinic that has provided relief from pain and injuries relating to musculoskeletal conditions such as Arthritis. While we no longer are able to provide full Therapeutic Massage options we do still incorporate it into Acupuncture treatments where needed.
Cancer: There has been much research done into the benefits of Acupuncture as an adjunctive therapy for people experiencing Cancer and undergoing treatment. We also incorporate herbal medicine and many other therapeutic options to support you on your Cancer journey.
Digestive disturbances: Dietary changes and its affects have become one of the most significant challenges in the last 30-40 years for much of the population due to the introduction of modified, mass produced and processed foods. This has given rise to a major change in the microbiome of the human gastrointestinal tract, leading to a rise in inflammatory conditions of the digestive system. We often address conditions relating to the digestive tract with Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine, Naturopathy and Dietary advice.
Allergies: Allergies are another challenge on the rise. The flora and fauna of different parts of New Zealand, along with dietary influence and hormonal change can lead to an increase in histamine intolerance. We often incorporate the use of Hair Testing along with therapies to reduce histamine response and ease allergy symptoms.
Anxiety and Mood changes: We live in a world that is 24/7 on. Everyday we are bombarded with information, messaging services, work, family and life commitments, alongside societal expectations and how we should be or not be. At times this can create an environment of immense pressure leading to anxiety and mood changes. We look at hte various contributors from a physical sense, and seek to calm and restore the nervous system and supporting systems to help you to navigate life with ease.
Immune support: Regular Acupuncture treatment has been shown through various studies to improve and strengthen the immune response. Through different modalities we calm the cortisol reaction created through chronic stress to enhance and maintain a healthy immune system.
General Health: The above is just an overview of a few of the conditions we see in clinic. We also see general health enquiries such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, insomnia, supplement and herbal remedy suggestions.
