Hello !! For a while now I’ve been managing two pages (one for each location I work at - Park Orchards & Mt Evelyn), but it’s becoming quite fiddly to do that & most of the time I’m posting the same content to both pages so I’m going to try just posting from https://www.facebook.com/btranacupuncture?mibextid=LQQJ4d for both locations now.

I’ll try my best to notify you all & kindly ask you to follow me over there 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I’m still operating as usual, just trying to streamline my social media efforts 😅 Thanks so much for your ongoing support!!

It’s what we all want and need in our skin because it’s the key to keeping it soft and youthful. But no matter how much money you spend on fancy moisturisers, if your skin isn’t healthy to begin with, it won’t absorb or retain that moisture.

Cosmetic Acupuncture is a great way to stimulate blood flow to the skin to help keep it nourished and hydrated. When your skin is healthy and happy, not only will it already be more naturally hydrated, but it will more readily absorb the products that you apply to it 👌🏻

Adenomyosis is often overshadowed by its more recognised counterpart, endometriosis, but it comes with its own set of challenges.

Adenmyosis occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus, grows into the muscular wall of the uterus. This tissue acts like normal endometrial tissue - thickening, breaking down and bleeding - during each menstrual cycle. This can lead to various symptoms including:

🩸 heavy and/or prolonged menstrual bleeding
🩸 severe cramping
🩸 an enlarged uterus
🩸 pain during in*******se
🩸 abdominal tenderness
🩸 chronic pelvic pain
🩸 anaemia or iron deficiency
🩸 difficulty trying to conceive

When trying to conceive, the displaced endometrial tissue can create an inflammatory environment within the uterus, potentially hindering the implantation of a fertilised egg.

Acupuncture views this condition as “blood stagnation” and aims to break up this stagnation, promote the smooth flow of blood, energy and hormones, and reduce inflammation, so that your body can function as it should.

If you have any questions, contact me any time. Or feel free to book an appointment online 😊🙏🏻

BREECH • TRANSVERSE • POSTERIOR presentation.

If bub is being a bit cheeky and is in the wrong position towards the end of your pregnancy, not only will it affect your ability to have a vaginal birth, but it can affect your body’s ability to even go into a natural onset of labour in the first place.

You see, the baby’s head is meant to slowly descend into the pelvic cavity and put pressure on the cervix. This is what stimulates the body to release the right hormones to begin labour. If the baby’s head is not in this position, labour may be delayed or not as efficient.

To have the best chance of turning your baby into the correct, head down position, it’s ideal to start acupuncture treatment around 35-36 weeks while there is still some room for baby to move. However, sometimes you may not find out that baby is in the wrong position until later (kids are always keeping us on our toes! 😜) in which case it’s still fine to commence acupuncture treatment then.

I use points on the lower legs to relax the ligaments and use the moxa stick to gently warm the point on your little toe for 15min on each side. This then needs to be repeated by you everyday for the next 10 days. I provide detailed instructions so that you and/or your partner can safely and confidently do this.

If you have any questions or would like a FREE instruction sheet on how to use moxa at home, contact me any time or comment MOXA below.
