24.01.2022 When that awful winter cough comes along, 2 little herbs can help...my son is almost 5 years old and I can proudly say he has not once had antibiotics...traditional Chinese herbs for the win :)

24.01.2022 A reminder I’m away for 2 weeks..last minute appointments avail wed 24/10 8-11am and 2 left for Friday 27/10. All booked out today!

23.01.2022 I have always said there is a place for Western Medicine and surgery, but there is also a place for Chinese Medicine and what it can offer in terms of herbs and acupuncture, and in a perfect world the two would co-exist and combine flawlessly. Acupuncture has been around for thousands of years, as we know, and can be used to treat a wide range of disorders and diseases include hormonal imbalances, allergies such as hayfever, and insomnia. Due to the huge number of deaths an...d addiction due to opioid usage, there has been a lot of research and focus into the effectiveness of other pain management solutions. In recent years we have seen an increase in the research around acupuncture in treating pain and painful conditions, such as disc herniation, and rotator cuff injury amongst other pain conditions. This has seen the use of Acupuncture in trials around Australian Hospitals within the Emergency Department including The Northern Hospital in Epping VICTORIA, amongst others. Previous research has shown that using acupuncture to treat chronic pain is comparable to morphine, but acupuncture is safer and doesn't lead to dependence. Research has shown time and time again that Acupuncture is an alternative to opioid analgesics. Opioid medications that are otherwise used for pain relief in the ED include morphine, fentanyl and oxynorm. Not all hospitals offer Acupuncture in Australia but due to recent research, excitingly Acupuncture will be available in all hospitals in the United States from 01 January 2018, as a "non pharmacological pain treatment modality". Surely this means that as we see Acupuncture being used in Emergency Rooms in the US, with the shift in medicine we would expect it to gather momentum around the world and thus should see acupuncture in hospitals everywhere. Maybe my fuzzy notion of combining the better parts of both types of medicine isn't actually too far away?

20.01.2022 I've spent the weekend learning with Professor Cheng who is a fourth generation Chinese Medicine Doctor from BeiJing and I'm looking forward to using his families' famous techniques in my treatments. Today was also my first seminar in Chinese in many years :) #lovemyinterpreter

19.01.2022 "In Western Medicine the body is seen as a machine, you try to fix a broken part or take it out. In Chinese Medicine, the body is seen as a garden. If the leaves are wilting or turning brown, you examine the condition of the soil, see if the plant is getting enough water & sun or if the roots are being impinged upon. You don’t just paint the leaves green!" ~From the classic book on Chinese Medicine, "Between Heaven and Earth".

19.01.2022 https://www.facebook.com//a.1015054571/10155529288479557/ National Pain Week 24-30 July Acupuncture has long been known to relieve pain, but finally there is some "research papers" to support it, come in for pins this week and remember pain doesn't have to be "the new normal"

18.01.2022 It's "that" time of the year again...

18.01.2022 This week is National Pain Week, and it is highlighted in world media that a massive shift with pain management is afoot, the huge amount of deaths and addiction due to opioid usage is undeniable, and the science is IN around acupuncture's effectiveness with ACUTE and CHRONIC pain. Acupuncture is being used in Emergency Rooms in the United States, and this shift in medicine is expected to gather momentum around the world in hospitals elsewhere. #acupunctureforpain

15.01.2022 Acupuncture should be relaxing and enjoyable. It shouldn't be painful. When you hear your patient snoring on the table I assure you they have left stress at the front door. Why not give it a try?
