24.01.2022 COVID-19 clinic update

24.01.2022 "Acupuncture and cupping are safe and effective treatments for lumbopelvic pain during pregnancy. Researchers conducted an observational study at a hospital-based community antenatal clinic in New Zealand and determined that acupuncture produces significant positive patient outcomes, including reductions in lumbopelvic pain levels."

24.01.2022 Acupuncture in the media. "The next prescription from your doctor just might be for acupuncture instead of pain meds. As the science increasingly shows that the ancient Chinese therapy can be as effective as drugs, more doctors are acknowledging its legitimacy. At the same time, exciting new discoveries about how acupuncture works are also boosting its standing as a bona fide medical treatment overall. "There's plenty of quality research supporting the use of acupuncture for a number of health conditions," says Joseph F. Audette, M.D., the chief of the department of pain management at Atrius Health in Boston and an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School."

21.01.2022 The greatest discovery of any generation is that a human can alter his life by altering his attitude. Happy people are not held hostage by their circumstances and they do not seek happiness in people or possessions. They understand that when we stop chasing the worlds definition of happiness, we begin to see the decision to experience happiness has been right in front of us all along.... Research in the field of positive psychology continues to reinforce this understanding. #happy #happiness #acupuncture #herbalmedicine #tcm #chinesemedicine #lowerplentyacupuncture #elthamacupuncture #greensboroughacupuncture

21.01.2022 After just reading this book I have a whole new appreciation for the importance of sleep It is one of the most significant aspects of our life, health and longevity and yet it is increasingly neglected in twenty-first-century society, with devastating consequences: every major disease in the developed world - Alzheimer's, cancer, obesity, diabetes - has very strong causal links to deficient sleep. In this book, the first of its kind written by a scientific expert, Professor... Matthew Walker explores twenty years of cutting-edge research to solve the mystery of why sleep matters. Looking at creatures from across the animal kingdom as well as major human studies, Why We Sleep delves into everything from what really happens during REM sleep to how caffeine and alcohol affect sleep and why our sleep patterns change across a lifetime, transforming our appreciation of the extraordinary phenomenon that safeguards our existence. Prof Matthew Walker argues that sleep is more important for our health than diet or exercise!? #sleep #relax #chinesemedicine #acupuncture #naturalmedicine

19.01.2022 "Researchers find acupuncture effective for the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), a local entrapment neuropathy affecting the wrist and hand that causes pain, numbness, and dysfunction.

16.01.2022 Reducing the risk of Premature Birth. A team of Cochrane researchers have been looking closely at long-chain omega-3 fats and their role in reducing the risk of premature births particularly docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) found in fatty fish and fish oil supplements. They looked at 70 randomised trials involving 20,000 women and found that for pregnant women, increasing the daily intake of long-chain omega-3s: * lowers the risk of having a prem...ature baby (less than 37 weeks) by 11% * lowers the risk of having an early premature baby (less than 34 weeks) by 42% * reduces the risk of having a small baby (less than 2500g) by 10% At North Eastern Chinese Medicine, we only recommend and use highly purified omega-3 supplements that are produced in Australia from small, cold water fish from sustainable fisheries. These products have been tested and filtered for over 200 contaminants. This standard is not applied to OTC fish oil supplements so beware of cheap imitations.

16.01.2022 "One therapy that has received considerable attention for the treatment of chronic pain is acupuncture, found effective for a number of chronic pain conditions. Nonpharmacologic treatments like acupuncture may provide benefits to some patients, especially given the effects of the ongoing opioid epidemic on pain management"

14.01.2022 If you have any sort of health and wellness goal this year, living longer should definitely be it! Valter Longo is here to help. Longo is not only the director of the Longevity Institute at USC in Los Angeles and of the Program on Longevity and Cancer at IFOM (Molecular Oncology FIRC Institute) in Milan, but his bestselling book The Longevity Diet, a program to help live a longer, healthier life. Among the longevity factors within your control, what you eat is the primary ch...oice you can make that will affect whether you live to 60, 80, 100, or 110and more important, whether you will get there in good health.The culmination of 25 years of research on aging, nutrition, and disease across the globe, this unique fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) lays out a simple solution to living long through nutrition. FMD does away with the misery and starvation most of us experience while fasting and helps you reap all the beneficial health effects of a restrictive diet while avoiding the negative stressors, like low energy and sleeplessness. Longo, who is from a town in Italy that is home to some of the longest-lived people in the world, has one very sage piece of advice to share. Start in your mid 20s since prescriptions of drugs to treat hypertension, high cholesterol and autoimmunities often start in the late 20s/early 30s,. Dr Longo shares his five ways to prolong your life this year. 1. Eat a low but sufficient protein (0.35 grams per pound per day) pescatarian diet. 2. Eat within 12 hours a day (8 am-8 pm, 7 am- 7 pm) 3. If you are overweight or obese eat breakfast plus one meal a day plus a 100 Calorie low sugar snack. 4. Be nourished by eating sufficient vegetables, legumes and fish to get all vitamins, essential fatty acids and minerals. 5. Do between 2 and 12, 5 day fasting mimicking diets per year. #valterlongo #longevity #longevitydiet #lowerplenty #eltham #greensborough #acupuncture #tcm #naturalmedicine

12.01.2022 But what does my gut have to do with my mood? When we consider the connection between the brain and the gut, its important to know that 90% of serotonin receptors are located in the gut. In the relatively new field of nutritional psychiatry we help patients understand how gut health and diet can positively or negatively affect their mood. When someone is prescribed an antidepressant such as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), the most common side effects are gut...-related, and many people temporarily experience nausea, diarrhea, or gastrointestinal problems. There is anatomical and physiologic two-way communication between the gut and brain via the vagus nerve. The gut-brain axis offers us a greater understanding of the connection between diet and disease, including depression and anxiety. When the balance between the good and bad bacteria is disrupted, diseases may occur. Examples of such diseases include: inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), asthma, obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and cognitive and mood problems. Diet and depression A recent study suggests that eating a healthy, balanced diet such as the Mediterranean diet and avoiding inflammation-producing foods may be protective against depression. Another study outlines an Antidepressant Food Scale, which lists 12 antidepressant nutrients related to the prevention and treatment of depression. Some of the foods containing these nutrients are oysters, mussels, salmon, watercress, spinach, romaine lettuce, cauliflower, and strawberries. #seratonin #zinc #magnesium #omega3 #wholefood #acupuncture #naturalmedicine #healthandwellness #mediterraneandiet #brainfood #chinesemedicine

11.01.2022 The latest bad news about common painkillers such as paracetamol and ibuprofen is that when taken during pregnancy, they can impair the future fertility of both males and females. Ovaries exposed to paracetamol for just one week, for example, had more than 40% fewer egg-producing cells, with similar results for sperm-producing cells.

10.01.2022 Your magnesium levels are more important than you may realize -- magnesium is involved in over 600 enzymatic reactions in your body, including energy metabolism and protein synthesis. An estimated 30% of adults are magnesium deficient, yet these levels are not routinely checked by most doctors. We offer the highest quality magnesium supplements that can help you with things like sleeping better and preventing migraines. #magnesium #acupuncture #tcm #herbs #naturalmedicine #insomia #relax

07.01.2022 With the latest announcements that Stage 4 restrictions will be extended till October 26th 2020, Acupuncture appointments will be continued to be assessed on individuals reasoning needing treatment. Acupuncture is still allowed for ‘Emergency, acute issues or serious conditions that would prevent a GP or specialist visit’. Herbal Medicine and Supplements can be picked up from the clinic or sent via post.... Massage Therapy is still suspended. I don’t agree with the current restrictions around complementary medicine as I see it as a very important area to help people through these difficult times, high reward low risk, especially right now, more than ever. Unfortunately nothing can be done to change these decisions, so it’s important to have a positive outlook, enjoy the simple things in life and focus on getting enough exercise and healthy nutrition to get through these times. I can’t wait until the restrictions have been lifted and I am looking forward to seeing you all soon. I love what I do and I will always be here for you and your health. Kind regards, Daniel

07.01.2022 It does not have to be January 1st to give yourself a chance to make the most out of your day and your life. Every day is a new day and a fresh start to learn, grow, develop your strengths, heal yourself from past regrets or hurts, and move forward older and wiser. Every day gives you a chance to reinvent yourself, to fine-tune who you are, and build on lessons of what you have learned. It is never too late to change things that are not working in your life and switch ge...ars, instead of thinking in the same old ways, hoping for a different outcome. Be nimble, be flexible, and keep and open mind to start each day anew! Flexibility is the key! Ask yourself: How do I wake up each day? Do I start my day going already feeling pressured and rushed? Do I go through the morning routine without much thought at all, doing what I have to do to start my day? How about starting each new day with a moment to stop, breathe and think of a positive intention for the day. Think not just what you want to DO, but how you want to BE today? Each day is a new beginning and a blank slate. How would you like to create your day? Think of it as a blank canvas what would you like to paint on it. What can you create? If you wake up in a negative mindset, you are more likely to paint a dark picture throughout the day. Make today the day you fill your canvas with hope, happiness and joy. #mindset #intentions #happiness #grateful #flexibility #health #wellness #chinesemedicine #TCM #herbalmedicine #naturalmedicine #greensborough #lowerplenty #eltham

04.01.2022 IMMUNITY BOOSTING FOODS These colder months can leave us more vulnerable to colds & flu.

Here are some of our favorite foods to help boost immunity & optimize our immune systems ability to kick out viruses and infections.

04.01.2022 "Into the 3rd season of Greys Anatomy, I was very sick with exhaustion and stress. My makeup artist could only put makeup on my face right before we shot, as my skin would be flaking off in chunks. He had to give notes to fix my skin in post. It was bad. Then I met my acupuncturist and she changed my life."
