Acupuncture a practice rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine that works with the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Rather than focus on the symptoms, acupuncture works on strengthening the body’s internal systems so healing can occur more effectively and sustainably.

When the body is under stress, dealing with illness, or recovering from injury, its natural flow of energy and communication between systems can become disrupted. Through diagnosis which includes listening to the pulse, looking at the tongue, asking specific questions and looking at the emotions I can choose specific points on the body which gently help regulate these systems and encourage the body to return to a balanced state.

Here are some of the benefits personally reported from my patients other than what they have come for:

✅ Improved circulation
✅ reduced inflammation
✅ Reduced tension
✅ Reduced or no pain
✅ Improved digestion
✅ Improved sleep
✅ Improved energy
✅ Improved cognitive clarity
✅ feelings of calm
✅ clearer vision
✅ Better breathing
✅ clearer skin

Spring🌱🌿

Spring in Chinese medicine is the time when we move out of the darkness of winter (Yin time) and into the light (Yang) and it is associated with the Wood element which is all about encompassing a time for new growth, with hope and vision for the future.

The wood element whispers promises of growth and vitality and is associated with incredible strength, positive transformation, and challenges. Think of those tiny buds that force their way out, with even enough strength to break through concrete as they climb towards the light 🌱the element wood, symbolises creativity and adaptability.

It is a time of new beginnings and new challenges so if you are thinking about new projects or new beginnings then plant your seed today and trust the energy of spring to help it grow….. we can all be at one with nature 🌳🌱

After receiving acupuncture, it’s not uncommon to experience a temporary healing response as part of the body’s natural adjustment process. Here are some common reactions and their meanings in the context of Chinese medicine:

1.Soreness or Discomfort: Some people may feel localized soreness or a sensation similar to bruising at the needle sites. This can indicate that Qi has been stimulated and is flowing more freely, which can lead to healing.

2. Fatigue or Relaxation: You might feel unusually tired or relaxed after a session. This is often a sign that the body is shifting from a state of tension (excess Yang) to one of relaxation (balanced Yin), allowing for healing to take place.

3. Emotional Release: Acupuncture can sometimes trigger emotional responses, such as crying or a feeling of release. This can happen as the treatment helps to unblock emotional energy, facilitating healing on both physical and psychological levels.

4. Changes in Symptoms: Temporary exacerbation of symptoms might occur, which could be seen as the body’s way of processing deeper issues before they improve. For instance, if you’re receiving treatment for headaches, you might experience a brief increase in headache intensity before it starts to diminish.

5. Digestive Changes: Some individuals may notice shifts in digestion, such as increased bowel movements or changes in appetite. This can indicate that the treatment is helping to balance the digestive system and promote better assimilation of nutrients.

6. Improved Sleep: Many people report improved sleep quality following acupuncture, as it helps to regulate the nervous system and reduce stress levels.

These temporary healing responses are generally considered positive signs that the body is working to restore balance and health. 💥

Sleep 😴

Getting enough sleep 😴 is essential for helping us maintain optimal health and well-being. When it comes to your health, sleep is as vital as regular exercise and eating a balanced diet.

Sleep helps the body repair, regenerate, and recover and the immune system is no exception to this with some research showing how better sleep quality can help the body fight off infection.

There can be many reasons why people are struggling to get to sleep or stay asleep and it is through diagnosis that acupuncture can help treat the root cause aiding in a good nights sleep 🛌 💥

Are you struggling to get to sleep or stay asleep?

Forest Bathing 🌳

When you walk among trees, your breath slows, your shoulders drop, and your thoughts soften. The forest asks nothing of you, no productivity, no answers just presence. In that stillness, your nervous system resets and your mind remembers what calm feels like. Sometimes healing doesn’t come from doing more, but from standing still long enough to listen to the leaves.

Research shows that trees really do have healing powers. They release antimicrobial essential oils, called phytoncides, that protect trees from germs and have a host of health benefits for us little people. These and other impressive benefits of forest medicine are catalogued by physician Qing Li, chairman of the Japanese Society for Forest Medicine, in his book Forest Bathing and include

✔️reduced blood pressure
✔️reduced stress and anxiety
✔️improved sleep and creativity
✔️improved functioning of the mind
✔️clearer thinking

Black bean and celery soup

Energetics
Black beans are a great tonic for kidneys and they have diuretic properties helping to resolve dampness and Water. They also nourish the blood and the Yin (replenishes and supports fluid loss) and are supported in their Damp resolving action by the celery which cools the system and removes Water (supports internal heat) . The seaweed nourishes the Blood and Yin as well as draining Water, the carrot compliments the Blood nourishing action of the beans, and the onion provides warmth and movement. “Recipes for self healing”

1/2 lb dried black beans
Strip of wake me seaweed

3 sticks of celery
1 onion
1 Carrot
2 tsp of fresh or dried savory
Zest of large orange

1 - 2 tbsp miso
Juice of lemon

Soak beans over night if needed then cook with the seaweed until very tender. Chip the vegetables and bring them to boil in a separate pan and simmer until just softening. Add the beans with any remaining juice, the orange rind and the savory. Cook for further 10 minutes and stir in miso and partially liquidise the soup. Serve with a squeeze of 🍋 juice

Spirit Deficiency ✨

Ren 8

The only point on the body that is forbidden to needle so this point is done mostly by putting salt as a leveller into the belly button or a piece of ginger (my preference for any gastro or digestive issues) with lots of moxa then burned down into the point which enhances, encourages, nourishes and gets the spirit moving

The “Spiritual cord” of life. This point as well as being great for gastrointestinal disorders is good for birth trauma and also when someone is exhausted and they may feel depleted. Great point for someone worn down over a long time, when their vital energy seems low. It gives heat and warmth to the spirit.

Ren 8 (spirit deficiency) strengthens and regulates the Spleen and Stomach, regulates the Intestines, warms the interior, reduces digestive stagnation, tonifies the Kidneys, warms the Yang, regulates the Water pathways and is effective for Dampness and Damp-Cold

Winter season = Water Element 💦 ✨

In Chinese Medicine, the Water element embodies adaptability, wisdom, and potential, linked to winter, the Kidneys and Bladder, and emotions like fear and willpower, representing deep energy, fluid balance, and life’s essence (Jing)

In assessing the qualities of each element within a human being, imagine how the expression occurs in nature.

Think of a river carving its course through a valley and you’ll understand the Water Element. Water Types can be calm and serene similar to a still reflective lake and are able to go with the flow. On contrast look at a river over flowing its banks, a tidal wave overwhelming all that lies in its path, or as an entire ocean, deep, dark, and secretive.

The main emotion associated to the Water element is fear and when the water element within us is in balance we are able to assess the risks and dangers that life or situations present and act accordingly. However strong Water types can struggle with this process and can be governed by fear or lack of but their main aim is determination to survive. Maintaining balance involves rest, dark foods, and practices like Tai Chi to support vitality and resilience💧💦

Back problems 🔦

Sitting haunched at the computer all day, typing and staring at screens can wreak havoc on the body and over time can cause a lot of unnecessary pain and tension especially on the back

There are long luscious muscles in the front of your pelvis and if you sit for 8 plus hours a day, the muscles habituate to being in a shortened position. It is important to remind them a few times a day to lengthen by reversing the posture by incorporating simple stretches into your working day
