Acupuncture is recommended as an alternative and complementary strategy for stroke treatment and for improving stroke care. Clinical trial and meta-analysis findings have demonstrated the efficacy of acupuncture in improving balance function, reducing spasticity, and increasing muscle strength and general well-being post-stroke.

The evidence in this review indicates that five major different mechanisms are involved in the beneficial effects of acupuncture on ischemic stroke rehabilitation: (1) Promotion of neurogenesis and cell proliferation in the central nervous system (CNS); (2) Regulation of cerebral blood flow in the ischemic area; (3) Anti-apoptosis in the ischemic area; (4) Regulation of neurochemicals; and, (5) Improvement of impaired long-term potentiation (LTP) and memory after stroke.

I am happy to announce that the Acupuncture Council of Ireland, of which I am a registered member has, after consultation with a Barrister-at-Law, deemed the the acupuncture profession an 'Essential Service' for the purpose of the government's revised 'Essential Services' List, published 14th October.

Acufive will therefore continue to serve its clients and the community through one of the most ancient systems of medicine available, that of Classical Five Element Acupuncture, which excels at treating depression, menopause, back/neck/shoulder/sciatica, headache/migraine, immune system issues, fertility, and more.

The Fire Element

"At Fire's center lies the Heart, the Ruler of the Kingdom of our body, mind and spirit . Like the Sun in the Heavens by whose grace we are alive the Heart holds the gift of our life in its hands for we die the instant it's stops to beat

Left to itself the Heart would like only to love and to give. It is there for others not for itself just as our physical heart is pumping life to every cell and gains nothing for itself from its own activities. And yet without it nothing can function

Like the Sun in Heaven spreading its warmth over the land , Fire wishes to share its own delight in the joys of love. It will reach out in many ways through smiles and laughter , our thoughts and speech. All are attempts at establishing connection and bridging the gaps between ourselves and others"

Nora Franglan

Heart is all there is .

Five Element Acupuncture has some unique treatment protocols that are very important to the cultivation of your health. I would like to share one of them with you today .

What is Chi?
Chi (energy) is a pure divine nourishing life giving force. It is similar to the "Force" that we hear about in Star Wars. It is very real and its function is to keep us alive with Vitality and nourishes our organs, blood etc.

We live in a stressful world and also experience environmental disturbances. Normally most people can bounce back from occasional stresses, traumas and or indulgences. However It can happen that some traumas are so extreme that the pure nature of the Chi energy itself may become compromised.

Such trauma could be the result of an overwhelming severe or sudden shock or gradual hammering away and weakening, until a vital organ or function simply gives up or cannot bounce back.

Instead of nourishing life giving force, the Chi becomes polluted, turns toxic and sadly becomes an attacking force within the Body, Mind and Spirit. In Five Element Acupuncture this is what we call Agressive Energy .

It is so important that this aggressive energy is cleared from your system and checked for as it can be a huge block to experiencing good health in your Body, Mind and Spirit.

If you are feeling stressed, anxious or unbalanced or have a health issue that you can't get to the bottom of , call me and we can discuss if this detox treatment and system of medicine will help you

Wishing you the best of Health
Heather

I have had consistent, exceptional results in assisting couples to realise their dreams of conceiving and birthing healthy babies. In my experience I have encountered many couples trying to conceive for a number of years and after a course of Five Element Acupuncture treatments with me have become pregnant, some quite quickly.

I recognise the emotional rollercoaster that many couples find themselves on whilst trying to conceive naturally, and many have expressed that there is very little support and counsel available.

Five Element Acupuncture helps greatly with this as I listen with compassion, offering counsel where needed, whilst also assisting the body to regain its natural ability to come in to balance throughout the course of treatments.

Contact me if you have been trying to conceive naturally and are experiencing disappointment with failed IVF treatments .

"Anxiety is a feeling of unease, such as worry or fear that can be mild or severe. Everyone has feelings of anxiety at some point in their life – it is normal to feel worried and anxious about sitting an exam, or a job interview. But some people find it hard to control their worries that can affect every aspect of their daily lives.

Western medicine labels anxiety as the main symptom of several debilitating conditions, including phobias, and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a long-term condition that causes people to feel anxious about a wide range of situations and issues, rather than one specific event.

The Five Element acupuncturist sees anxiety (like all symptoms) as a sign of an imbalance in the person. All living beings are governed by the natural laws we observe in nature and the anxiety experienced by the presenting patient will have a cause in one of the five elements that produce our outer and inner reality. Practitioners of this ancient healing tradition have the skills to diagnose the unique cause of anxiety in each person and effect an acupuncture treatment that has the potential to alleviate not only the symptom of anxiety but all suffering" - Gerad Kite
