Let’s talk OAB ✨

Overactive bladder (OAB) is the presence of urinary urgency (both daytime and night time), usually accompanied by increased frequency. OAB has a serious impact on the quality of life of patients and It can in some cases cause anxiety and depression, and it can also hinder a persons social interactions 😌

Several clinical studies have shown that acupuncture can reduce micturition over 24 hour, and urgency episodes over 24 h, improving quality of life 💥

Acupuncture helps by promoting and regulating good blood and qi flow to the vital organs and for OAB, needling at points on the kidney, bladder and conception vessel meridians helps to reinforce qi and promote the recovery of bladder function 🙌 And of course I always will treat the essence of my patients at a deeper level

If you have ever wondered if acupuncture can support you with any emotional or physical health conditions and would
like to know more then please get in touch 🙏

Let’s talk Heat 🥵

Struggling to stay hydrated and cool in this summer heat 💦☀️, here are some tips from Chinese medicine point of view to help and support you stay cool

In Chinese Medicine staying cool during very hot weather is important as to balance excessive summer heat and protect the body’s fluids (yin and body fluids) from being depleted.

Foods and Drinks that are cooling support in cooling excess heat:

* Watermelon (also hydrating)
* Cucumber
* Mung bean (often made into soup or porridge)
* Chrysanthemum tea (also great for inflammation)
* Pear (also good for lungs)
* Bitter melon (also good for Liver)
* Lotus root

I would also advise drinking room-temperature water or lightly cooled herbal teas rather than excessive amounts of ice-cold drinks, which only weaken digestive function

Avoid or at least limit Excess “Heating” Foods

* Very spicy foods
* Deep-fried foods
* Excessive alcohol
* Excess caffeinated coffee
* Heavy, greasy meals
* Large amounts of grilled or barbecued food

Be sure to keep your cool 😎

Fire Cupping 🔥

Cupping is an age-old technique used in traditional Chinese medicine to stimulate Acupuncture points or larger areas of the body and can be used to help tight muscles, where there is not sufficient circulation and pain. Physical.pain implies a blockage in the flow of blood and other vital substances through a particular area. When toxins or cell waste stagnate in the muscles or joints, it can be difficult for the body to get rid of this waste, causing further blockage and discomfort

By utilising cupping techniques we are able to pull the blockage out of the deeper tissue to the skins surface enabling the body to eliminate toxins and creating fresh new blood to those areas, revitalising and restoring proper blood flow.

What to expect when you come for treatment

The session will start by preparing the body for cupping by gentle tuina techniques in the back to loosen the fascia before moving on to moving cupping.
Moving cupping is especially good for pain as it helps to release fascia which can tighten up, causing muscle tightness, pain, adhesions or knots. It is also good for moving Qi and blood, and help nourish the body and stimulate organ function it also just feels good and can feel similar to a back massage
The cups will then be placed on and around certain areas of the back and left on for upto 20 minutes

Chrysanthemum tea ✨

The Chinese have used Chrysanthemum for years advocating its many health benefits ✨Current research appears to support some of the medicinal benefits of chrysanthemums. One study found that chemicals extracted from chrysanthemum flowers may help reduce inflammation. Chemical compounds in the flowers may also help prevent bone loss and treat osteoporosis, according to another study 💥

Chrysanthemums may have anti-obesity effects, too. A 2019 study found that taking chrysanthemum leaf ethanol extract helped prevent obesity in mice. Other research also indicates that components of the flower may help improve high blood sugar and possibly help prevent type 2 diabetes.
Still, many of the studies on chrysanthemum are done in a laboratory or in animals and Healthline suggest that more research is needed to evaluate its effects

Benefits of Chrysanthemum tea

✅can supplement skin irritation and chronic conditions such as eczema and psoriasis 💥
✅Maintains healthy immune function
✅Helps maintain bone health
✅Can help improve vision
✅promotes healthy metabolism
✅Help to reduce inflammation
✅aids digestion after a meal
✅healthy skin
✅support with high BP/cholesterol
✅overheating so good for menopause

Tastes lovely on its own or can add goji berries for an extra calming effect… enjoy 🙏✨

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?
