Fertility Acupuncture
Whether you have problems or not, you can benefit greatly from Acupuncture and Chinese herbal treatments. An array of issues can be supported and treated successfully. Through your treatment, we can work closely with your fertility consultant or GP where necessary.

The beauty of Acupuncture and Chinese medicine for natural conception is that it can fine tune your body into balance which may be just that missing link to you not getting pregnant. Unlike a quick fix, acupuncture works in natural time with your body and you should expect treatment time to be on average three to six months. This is because it takes three months for new follicles to develop mature healthy eggs for ovulation. During this time, Acupuncture will work on regulating your hormones, balancing your menstrual cycle and correcting any issues out of sync such as painful periods, light or heavy periods and so on. I will work closely with your BBT charts or check your blood work in order to identify any issues around your hormones, length of follicular and luteal phases and also to identify your ovulation window and optimal conception timing. Whilst all this wonderful work is being done, you will find that other health issues you have can be indirectly treated such as digestive issues, problems with sleep, body temperature and of course the inevitable anxiety and sometimes obsession that comes with desperately trying to become pregnant.

And don’t forget the males. As s***m are needed to create a baby, the often overlooked partners also can benefit from acupuncture or herbal tweaking, to assist with healthy new s***m generation and all round good health.

10 Evidence-Based Mechanisms of Acupuncture

1. Neurotransmitter Release
Acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine—neurochemicals that reduce pain perception and improve mood.

2.Modulation of the Nervous System
Research shows acupuncture influences both the central and peripheral nervous systems, calming overactive nerve signals and regulating how the brain processes pain.

3. Activation of the Body’s Natural Pain Control (Gate Control Theory)
Needle stimulation can interrupt pain transmission in the spinal cord, effectively “closing the gate” on pain signals before they reach the brain.

4. Anti-Inflammatory Effects
Studies demonstrate that acupuncture reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines and increases anti-inflammatory mediators, helping conditions like arthritis, headaches, and menstrual pain.

5. Improved Blood Flow and Microcirculation
Local needling increases nitric oxide production, which widens blood vessels and improves oxygen and nutrient delivery to tissues.

6. Regulation of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary Axis (HPA Axis)
Acupuncture can regulate stress hormones (like cortisol) and reproductive hormones, supporting fertility, menstrual regularity, and menopause symptom relief.

7. Brain Imaging Evidence
Functional MRI studies reveal that acupuncture alters activity in brain regions involved in pain perception, emotion regulation, and autonomic function.

8. Immune System Modulation
Clinical evidence shows acupuncture can boost white blood cell activity, natural killer cell function, and antibody production, enhancing immune defense.

9. Vagus Nerve Stimulation
Certain acupuncture points activate the vagus nerve, improving digestion, calming stress responses, and reducing inflammation throughout the body.

10. Homeostatic Regulation
Across multiple systems—nervous, endocrine, and immune—acupuncture helps restore balance, supporting better sleep, digestion, mood, and overall resilience.

🌸 What a Healthy Period Should Look Like
✅ No pain or clots
✅ Fresh red flow
✅ Flow for 2–5days
✅ No extreme PMS
✅ No spotting

Yes, it’s possible and normal to have a pain-free, drama-free period. 💡 Acupuncture works. Here’s how we treat:
Acupuncture is most effective when we treat weekly over 3 full menstrual cycles. That’s because we’re working with every phase of your cycle:
• Period
• Follicular
• Ovulation
• Luteal
Each phase impacts the next. Suitable for:
✔️ Teens with painful or heavy periods
✔️ Post-birth hormone regulation
✔️ Coming off contraception
✔️ Perimenopausal changes

Your cycle changes through life—and each stage deserves care. If you’ve just had a baby, come off the pill, or are feeling lost in peri-menopause, acupuncture offers a grounded, effective way back to balance.

📅 Ready to get to the root? Let’s make your cycle work for you. DM me or call Eva 087 900 2307 🙄

In Chinese astrology we have moved to the age of 9 which is associated with the Fire element. This means 2025 is going to be a hot year with the element of Wood sitting on the element of Fire (the Snake). The image is of putting more wood on top
of a burning fire.

The combination of snake and wood creates a special synergy in which the snake's introspective and transformative energy is paired with the wood's expansive and balanced nature.

The areas of the body that are associated
with the element of Fire are the heart, blood circulation, blood pressure, the small intestine, inflammation, metabolism and high fevers as well as shoulders and insomnia.
So this coming year may see a higher incidence of people suffering from high blood pressure, heart conditions or experiencing inflammation, high fevers or metabolic conditions. (All treatable with Acupuncture) So be preventive regarding looking after your health and wellbeing.

Snakes are known in the zodiac for their wisdom, intuition, and mystery. Naturally strategic, they are excellent problem-solvers and skilled communicators.

Happy Chinese New Year!

Reduce Fluid Retention and Let Go of Feeling Puffy.

Feeling bloated, puffy, or heavy? Fluid retention can result from circulation issues, hormonal changes, or even diet, but acupuncture helps your body remember how to metabolize fluids efficiently, no matter what the issue is.
By improving circulation and supporting kidney and lymphatic function, acupuncture reduces swelling and helps your body eliminate excess fluids. You’ll notice reduced puffiness and a lighter, more balanced feeling. No more sluggishness!

Sinus Congestion? Acupuncture to the Rescue!

Winter often brings sinus congestion from colds, allergies, or sinus infections. That constant
pressure, stuffy nose, and difficulty breathing can be frustrating, but acupuncture can help.

It works by improving circulation in the sinus area, reducing inflammation, and supporting your
immune system to clear congestion and prevent it from coming back. Many patients feel
immediate relief and easier breathing after treatment.

We can help with sinus-related concerns such as:
● Sinus pressure and pain (acute or chronic)
● Seasonal allergies that cause congestion
● Sinus infections with lingering symptoms
● Headaches caused by sinus pressure
● Post-nasal drip and throat irritation
