Still in pain after trying everything?

Du Huo Ji Sheng Wan has been solving chronic back pain, stiff joints and sciatica for 1,400 years — and modern research is finally catching up with why it works.

In TCM, cold and damp invade the joints and block circulation. Sound familiar living in Ireland? 🌧️ This formula drives it out, warms the channels and rebuilds from the root.

Science backs it too — reducing inflammation, protecting cartilage and improving circulation to painful joints.
✔️ Chronic lower back pain
✔️ Knee and hip pain
✔️ Sciatica
✔️ Pain worse in cold, wet weather

🔥 Ancient Wisdom for Modern Mamas
Did you know Traditional Chinese Medicine has been helping babies turn head-down for over 2,000 years? 👶
Moxibustion at acupoint BL67 (Zhi Yin — on the outer corner of the little toe) is one of TCM’s most fascinating techniques for encouraging a breech baby to turn naturally before birth.
This is Wu Yan Ai — smokeless wormwood moxa — used in our clinic for this exact purpose. The gentle warming of BL67 is thought to stimulate uterine activity and encourage foetal movement, giving baby the nudge it needs to find the optimal position.
✅ Non-invasive
✅ Smokeless — safe and comfortable for use at home
✅ Best used between weeks 33–36 of pregnancy
✅ Supported by clinical research alongside conventional care
If your midwife or consultant has told you your baby is breech, this is a conversation worth having with us. We guide you through the technique so you can continue treatment at home between clinic visits.

Science is catching up on the benefits of acupuncture

Taiwanese researchers discovered acupuncture triggering stem cell release healing damaged organs naturally. Scientists at China Medical University found that electroacupuncture at specific meridian points stimulates bone marrow to release mesenchymal stem cells into circulation, which then migrate to injured organs and promote tissue repair. This mechanism explains acupuncture's therapeutic effects through measurable biological processes rather than placebo.

Traditional Chinese medicine has used acupuncture for thousands of years, but Western medicine dismissed it as placebo due to lack of biological mechanism. Taiwanese researchers using advanced imaging and cellular tracking discovered that needle stimulation at specific points triggers measurable stem cell mobilization—providing the first clear biological explanation for acupuncture's effects.

Electroacupuncture (needles with mild electrical current) at ST36 (Zusanli point) and GV20 (Baihui point) causes a 300% increase in circulating stem cells within 24 hours. These mobilized stem cells express homing signals drawing them to damaged tissues—injured liver, heart, kidneys, or brain—where they differentiate into organ-specific cells and release healing factors. It's like acupuncture triggers the body's internal repair dispatch system.

Stroke patients receiving electroacupuncture within 48 hours of stroke showed 40% better functional recovery than those receiving standard care alone. Liver cirrhosis patients showed reduced fibrosis markers. Heart attack survivors demonstrated improved cardiac function. The mechanism is entirely biological—traced stem cells from bone marrow to damaged organs. Skeptical Western physicians are reconsidering acupuncture given this mechanistic evidence. We're discovering that ancient healing practices work through sophisticated biological mechanisms science is only now capable of detecting.

It comprises of 6 herbs and is warm and drying.

Those with a red tongue, yellow coating who are always looking for cold drinks should take a minimal amount.

This is because you are already showing signs of overheating and this herb with exasperate your heat.

I always try out new products on myself first before offering to the public. Tibetan foot soaks have blown me away. The combination of 8 ethically sourced herbs and minerals are the ultimate detoxifier. The formula absorbs trans dermally which is great for people with sensitive stomachs. I'm hearing amazing reports for people suffering from fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, menstrual issues, neuropathy, stiffness, irregular heartbeat, digestive disorders and obesity. I could go on.

In the language of Traditional Chinese medicine, the soaks gently influence the body by eliminating wind, draining damp and moving qi and blood.

My wish is for people suffering from Fibromyalgia and Neuropathic pain to get to experience these first.

Listen to the attached podcast from the creators of the soaks for a detailed understanding.

I am the only person in Ireland who has these at the moment as far as I know.

Do you know someone who could benefit from the soaks?

There you have it. The science of what actually happens to you when you are needled. Acupuncture stimulates the acupuncture point which scientifically is called a Neurovascular bundle. This bundle contains blood vessels and motor & sensory efferent nerves.

Our blood is then directed around our circulatory system. Optimal health is reliant on blood flowing harmoniously through our bodies.

Our blood is responsible for:

1️⃣ Transporting oxygen, nutrients, neurotransmitters & neuropeptides.
2️⃣ Forming Blood clots
3️⃣ Protecting from infections
4️⃣ Carrying waste products for removal
5️⃣ Regulating body temperature

A major cause of disease is blood stagnation. This means our blood is not flowing freely to any given area resulting is pain , numbness, infertility, menstrual issues, emotional distress, spider veins and or tumours to name a few.

Keep the blood flowing ❤️

Todays topic is Insomnia and how I treat people who are experiencing it.

'Insomnia is a psychiatric disorder with symptoms such as difficulty falling asleep, waking up frequently during the night, or early awakening. It affects tens of millions of people around the world, has become a major human health concern. Insomnia is mainly divided into short-term insomnia, chronic insomnia and other insomnia, of which, chronic insomnia is the main type of insomnia. Insomnia is accompanied by mental fatigue. It can also induce palpitations, chest paralysis, vertigo, headache, stroke disease and many other diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment for insomnia focuses on regulating the body's internal environment. It includes Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) and acupuncture. Acupuncture & CHM is the most effective way in the clinical treatment of insomnia. Many studies have shown the advantages of acupuncture & CHM in insomnia patients, in terms of the clinical outcomes.'
Journal of Innovations in Medical Research

I have had to dig deep to help clients with Insomnia. I've had to train with the best teachers in the world and upskill in the use of Chinese Herbal Medicine (CHM)

As a result, I've created a 5 step program for Insomnia sufferers. Put simply- I detox you first and then I strengthen you through acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. All for a better nights sleep.

I've designed a carefully thought out intake form which gathers all of your signs and symptoms.

I will know exactly what's going on before you arrive for your first appointment.

If you or someone you know needs help in this area, you can book online.

Choose acupuncture for insomnia-----you will be emailed the intake form. This is the start of the process.
