Did you know acupuncture can really help with grief ? It’s one of the areas I specialise in. It helped me hugely over a sudden traumatic bereavement years ago.

Great article about acupuncture helping Pain.

Acupuncture gets a great write up in this week's edition of Chat Magazine, in an article featuring a patient of BAcC acupuncturist Sahar Hooti from AcuCare Clinic International. Sahar's patient Leanne Curran from Portsmouth, explained how traditional acupuncture helped her get her life back after struggling with chronic fatigue and pain as a result of ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis). According to the ME Association, over 400,000 people in the UK are currently living with ME, and with over 1 million people reporting symptoms of chronic fatigue as a result of Long Covid, that number is steadily increasing. The article recommends that if you would like to try acupuncture to help manage symptoms for ME, or for any health concern, you can find your nearest BAcC registered, and PSA accredited acupuncturist here https://acupuncture.org.uk/find-an-acupuncturist/

The energy of this time of year…. We’re not out of winter yet but equally not into spring either, a kind of in between time.

Great point to help release stuck emotions from the dai mai channel that is like a belt around your waist.

Great description of yin and yang!

☯️ In Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the concept of yin and yang serves as the foundation for understanding health, as well as diagnosing and treating illnesses.

☯️ Yin is all about the cooling, moisturising, quiet, calming energy in the body - think insomnia or anxiety when this energy is out of balance...

☯️ And yang is all about the warming, moving, busy, upwards and outwards energy in the body - think tinnitus or migraines when this energy is out of balance...

☯️ Yin and yang are relational to each other and seek to be balanced for overall wellness. This is much of what we do in the treatment room as acupuncturists.
