13.01.2022 So its that time of year again, the clocks have gone back the nights are drawing in and it’s inevitable that at some point over the next few months we will all come down with a nasty cold, flu or chest infection. In Chinese medicine it is said that we have a protective barrier against outside pathogens called Wai Qi (pronounced Way Chi). It is the job of the Wai Qi to fight off any outsiders trying to get inside our bodies and cause us all sorts of unwanted problems. Only th...e other day I woke up and noticed I had a stuffy nose, a dry and slightly sore throat and realized that this was the beginnings of a cold, or worse. "Using my knowledge of Chinese Medicine what can I do at home to help myself?" Well at this point I usually get out a large pan and make a decoction to support my Wai Qi and help expel the pathogen before it gets any deeper into my system and makes me feel really grotty. So the theory in Chinese medicine is to ‘Open the Exterior’ (pores of our skin) and Expel the Pathogen’ (sweat a little), which our bodies will naturally do but usually when its too late, so the key here is to act quick and with some element of force. Into the pan goes fresh ginger, cinnamon bark, spring onion, garlic, chilli pepper, cloves, cardamon and a lemon with its rind removed. Top it up with fresh filtered water and boil of about half an hour. Strain, add some honey and consume a glass every couple of hours or so and until the symptoms have past. In my recent case this was only two days and I was feeling back to normal and didn’t waste any of my life to illness. To be fair it is an acquired taste and may take some effort to consume at first but over the years I have come to love it’s spicy and astringent flavor knowing that I am doing something to fight off the little invaders before I become too sick and waste valuable time in bed feeling sorry for myself. Give it a go next time you start to feel a little off kilter and share your results so more people can benefit from the ancient wisdom of Chinese Medicine.

11.01.2022 In clinic last week a new patient was concerned about the acupuncture needles. ‘Were they going to hurt or leave any lasting trauma?’ To put this into some context this morning I managed to get 20 acupuncture needles into the hole of a hypodermic syringe. They are very thin, and mostly painless but still have the power to illicit a therapeutic, healing effect!

09.01.2022 I had a great day teaching at the NCA (Northern College of Acupuncture) yesterday and always come away feeling fortunate to be sharing this time with the students. It was a third year class on their final few months of their BSc Acupuncture with Honours. The class was advanced needling techniques, scalp and facial points. We teach this in the third year to clear up any doubts the students have around deep needling, trigger point release and difficult to locate and needle poin...ts on the scalp and some on the face. Some of these points they may not have used much in their clinic blocks and we need to make sure they are confident but practicing in a safe manner before going on to set up their own practices in the very near future. This session is particulary valuable to the students as they can also choose the points that they either haven't needled before, maybe struggle with or scared of needling. Usually by the end of the session all their doubts and worries are resolved and they leave with the confidence to use them in their practice. Teaching acupuncture at the NCA is a chance for me to give something back to this truly remarkable field of medicine, to the college that treated me so well when I was studying and to the students that constantly challenge you. Chinese medicine is for everyone and although only small, I feel as if I am helping to play my part in spreading the ancient wisdom that is as relevant today as it was 2,500 years ago.
