Self care - important for everyone. Last week I enjoyed a relaxing and nourishing sauna at a beautiful spot on a drizzly day, which added to the peaceful mood. We are so lucky to have a lot of self care options on our peninsula

A groundbreaking discovery from Taiwan is bridging traditional medicine and modern science. Researchers at China Medical University have shown that acupuncture doesn’t just relieve pain—it can trigger stem cells to repair damaged organs naturally. Electroacupuncture at specific points, like ST36 (Zusanli) and GV20 (Baihui), stimulates the bone marrow to release mesenchymal stem cells into the bloodstream. These stem cells then travel to injured tissues, differentiate into organ-specific cells, and release healing factors.
Within 24 hours, stem cell levels in circulation increased by 300%, providing a measurable biological explanation for acupuncture’s therapeutic effects—beyond placebo. Stroke patients treated with electroacupuncture within 48 hours recovered 40% better than those with standard care. Liver cirrhosis patients showed reduced fibrosis markers, while heart attack survivors experienced improved cardiac function.
This discovery is rewriting how Western medicine views acupuncture. For thousands of years, it was considered purely traditional, yet science now shows a sophisticated, measurable mechanism for healing. Ancient practices are finally being validated through modern imaging and cellular tracking, revealing that needle stimulation can activate the body’s own repair systems.
The message is clear: acupuncture is more than sensation—it’s a biological trigger for regeneration, showing how centuries-old practices can integrate with cutting-edge science.

Sciatic and back pain is something I have recently been going through myself. Acupuncture and physiotherapy have helped me continue working and get back to (almost) full function and health. So grateful!
If you are experiencing the same, dont suffer. Let acupuncture support you through your recovery time

A randomized clinical trial published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that acupuncture significantly reduced leg pain and disability in patients with chronic sciatica caused by lumbar disc herniation.
