19.01.2022 It's National Pain week. A good time to bring to mind how effective Acupuncture is for treating acute and chronic pain. In a study published in the American Journal of Emergency Medicine, title "Acupuncture vs intravenous morphine in the management of acute pain in the ED", it was found that acupuncture was more effective than morphine at relieving acute pain and with less side effects.

19.01.2022 "Do you think you can take over the Universe-and improve it? I do not believe it can be done. The Universe is sacred. You cannot improve it.... If you try to change it, you will ruin it. If you try to hold it, you will lose it. So sometimes things are ahead And sometimes they are behind; Sometimes breathing is hard, Sometimes it comes easily; Sometimes there is strength And sometimes weakness; Sometimes one is up And sometimes one is down. Therefore, the Sage avoids Extremes, excesses and complacency". LAO TZU See more

08.01.2022 It's Women's Health week! A good time to talk about Period Pain or Dysmenorrhea which can be debilitating. In Chinese Medicine pain before and during the menses is due to stagnant Qi (energy) and stagnant blood obstructing the meridians (channels). There may also be an accumulation of cold in the channels. Acupuncture treatment will have the effect of activating and spreading the Qi through the uterus and channels, thereby relieving pain. Avoid sitting on cold concrete or rock. This can cause cold to penetrate into the channels, which may cause painful periods. Regular exercise will also help.

07.01.2022 Revitalize your face with an 'Acupuncture Facelift'. A consultation is done first including the ancient art of pulse taking. The tongue is observed as well as the colour of the face. Our face sags and wrinkles in accordance with our imbalances within. For example horizontal lines on the forehead eg worry lines indicate a spleen deficiency. Frown lines indicate liver disharmony. The internal disharmony is treated as well as the facial points. The result is that lines soften out, facial muscles relax and facial tone improves. The face is flooded with qi (vital energy), oxygen and nutrients. A course of treatment gives the best results.

01.01.2022 Next week is Headache & Migraine Awareness week. I thought I would share a bit of my own story. I used to suffer from very severe classical migraine headaches. I would get flashing lights and visual disturbances, nausea & vomiting followed by extreme one sided headache for at least 24hrs. One of my friends finally convinced me to have acupuncture. However being a registered nurse at the time, I just couldn't see how acupuncture would work. I went along and had acupuncture with a really good practitioner. I was over the moon with the results. That was in the 80's. I was so impressed that I decided to study this amazing healing modality. I graduated in 1989 and I haven't had a migraine since.
