How can our treatments help you?
Stress, both a natural reflex and an inevitable part of existence, reverberates across our inner worlds. It arises when we face challenges, both minor and monumental, and sparks our body’s adaptive mechanisms. While a touch of Stress is a life propellant, Chronic Stress can be a formidable adversary to life’s equilibrium.
At Omnia, we step beyond the usual to bring you a well-rounded approach that blends various solutions. We are here to guide you towards a toolbox of options that can help you find calm amid life’s challenges. It’s not just about therapies; we go further by providing an instant stress test through a very advanced equipment called VedaPulse. This equipment measures your heart rate variability and stress levels, allowing you to see your progress before and after treatment. It’s a way to make your healing journey motivating and tangible.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Many people avoid acupuncture because they think needles will hurt. Acupuncture needles are fine. They are about twice the size of a human hair. They are also ten times smaller than a regular hypodermic needle.
Most people find acupuncture calm and relaxing. Patients often describe the needle sensation as a tingling or dull ache. This is a sign that the Qi is being stimulated and released, indicating that the treatment is working. At Omnia, we also offer Electroacupuncture and Fu Needle treatments, which minimise any fear or discomfort caused by needles.
Wear comfortable clothes such as legging with socks for the lower body and a soft, long-sleeved top for the upper body. For hygiene reasons, we advise against bare skin. It is advisable to empty your bladder before and after the treatment.
Acupuncture is sometimes available on the NHS from GP practices and physiotherapists. The treatment is also available in most pain clinics and hospices in the United Kingdom. Most acupuncture patients pay for private treatment. Increasing demand for complementary medicine has promoted private health insurance companies like AVIVA and BUPA to cover acupuncture.
Yes, the pressure levels can often be adjusted to suit individual preferences and comfort levels during the session.
The tongue acts like a barometer, reflecting the health and well-being of your internal meridians and organs. The acupuncturist will examine your tongue’s colour, shape, cracks, and coating. This helps them understand how your body is working overall.
In conventional massages, therapists usually target the muscles, often using deep massage techniques to reach the muscular layer. In contrast, lymphatic drainage massage is specifically aimed at the delicate lymphatic vessels and nodes located just beneath the skin. This approach requires only gentle pressure to encourage fluid movement. Therefore, if you’re dealing with issues such as water retention, bloating, cellulite, or poor skin tone, traditional massages may not achieve the desired results. Our state-of-the-art Body Ballancer system is designed to alleviate conditions such as water retention, bloating, cellulite, and poor skin tone.
There are 12 pulse positions on each wrist that the acupuncturist will palpate. Each position corresponds to a specific meridian or organ system. They will observe the quality of your pulse, looking for certain characteristics that reflect your overall health.
This includes pulse rate, strength, and width. Pulse testing allows the acupuncturist to pinpoint which imbalance is causing the disease’s symptoms.
Yes, Photobiomodulation is considered safe when used appropriately. The light used in these treatments is non-ionising and generally doesn’t cause harm. However, it’s important to follow proper guidelines and consult a healthcare professional if you have concerns.
Herbs can be a powerful adjunct to Acupuncture therapy. People use traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to strengthen, build, and support the body. It also clears it of excess problems like a cold, fever or acute pain. To build your internal strength, the acupuncturist may suggest starting with herbs and then acupuncture for better results.
Photobiomodulation is usually painless. Patients might feel a mild warmth or tingling sensation during the treatment, but it’s generally well-tolerated.

Session lengths can vary based on the specific treatment and area being treated, but they typically range from a few minutes to around 20-30 minutes.
Ayurvedic medicine can have a detox effect, which can take the form of mild flu-like symptoms or a rash. This is usually a normal reaction and indicates that the herbs are doing their job. Sometimes the reaction can be stronger, and usually, the practitioner makes an adjustment in the dosage. It is important to make your practitioner aware of any known allergies.
The red light therapy sessions are needed to see results, varies depending on the condition being treated and individual response. Some people might experience benefits after just a few sessions, while others might need a greater number of sessions to achieve the desired results.
Treatment frequency and the number of treatments needed depend on several factors: your constitution, mental state, the severity and duration of the health condition, and lifestyle habits. Occasionally, the pain relief can be felt immediately after treatment, but for lasting and effective results, a minimum of 4–6 treatments are recommended. Chronic conditions usually take longer to resolve than acute conditions.
While generally safe, Photobiomodulation may present contraindications for individuals with conditions such as claustrophobia, photosensitivity, active skin infections or cancerous lesions, photosensitive seizure, and pregnancy. We recommend consulting a healthcare professional before undergoing any treatment.
If you have been prescribed medication, we recommend that you inform your GP that you are considering Ayurveda therapy. You should continue your regular medication. During the initial consultation, your Ayurveda consultant will advise you of contraindications such as high fever and severe renal and cardiac diseases. You may also be referred to your GP if the Ayurvedic physician treating you recognises a risk during your consultation or even after treatment.
Side effects of photobiomodulation are rare and generally mild. They might include temporary redness, slight discomfort, or irritation in the treated area. These effects usually subside quickly.
In Ayurveda, sesame oil is considered the queen of all oils because it has active principles that produce health benefits. Cured sesame oil should be used for this purpose, as the heating converts weak antioxidants into a potent antioxidant substance known as sesamol. Moreover, medicated herbal oils are used to treat specific conditions. For example, for arthritic problems, oils containing herbs that are Vata and Kapha-pacifying and have anti-inflammatory properties will be used. For anxiety, herbs possessing adaptogenic action, such as Ashwagandha, will be used.
Duration of the effects of Photobiomodulation or Red Light Therapy effects can vary based on the individual, condition treated, and maintenance. Some people experience longer-lasting results with consistent treatment.
There is no harm in keeping oil on your skin or hair for a long period of time. However, you can remove the oil immediately after the treatment. We also have a shower facility, if required.
Insurance coverage for Photobiomodulation or Red Light Therapy varies. Some medical conditions and contexts might receive coverage, but you should check with your insurance provider.
Yes, the Body Ballancer is generally safe and suitable for most people. However, individuals with certain medical conditions or concerns should consult a healthcare provider before using it.
A standard session typically lasts around 30 to 50 minutes, during which the compression garments (either a jacket or pants) are worn over the targeted areas.
Yes, it is safe for children and babies. In some cases, children respond more quickly to acupuncture than adults. If your child has an aversion to needles, the practitioner may recommend Acupressure or Tui Na Massage.
Two surveys were published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ). They found that the risk of serious injury from acupuncture is less than 1 in 10,000. This risk is much lower than that of most standard treatments. The needles used are single-use, sterile, and disposable.
Users often describe the sensation as a gentle, rhythmic massage. The compression cycles create a soothing and relaxing experience.
The frequency of treatment and the number of sessions needed depends on several factors. These include your body type, mental state, and the severity and length of your health issue. Your lifestyle habits and the amount and quality of your Qi also play a role.
Acupuncturists believe that health determinants are unique to each individual. Typically, some change is noticed within 5 or 6 treatments, although occasionally 1 or 2 treatments may suffice. Chronic conditions typically require more time to resolve than acute ones.
The number of sessions varies based on individual goals and needs. However, it is generally recommended to undergo a series of sessions, often spanning a few weeks, to achieve the desired results.
If your doctor has given you medication, please tell your GP that you are thinking about acupuncture treatments. You should continue your regular medication. During the first consultation, your acupuncturist will inform you of any issues.
These may include metal allergies, hemophilia, or taking strong blood thinners. You may be advised to see your doctor if the acupuncturist sees any risks during your visit or after treatment.
While the Body Ballancer is safe for most people, individuals with certain conditions like deep vein thrombosis, severe circulatory disorders, or recent surgery might have contraindications. Consulting a healthcare professional is advisable.
