25.01.2022 Chinese pulse diagnosis is complex, & takes years of practice to master, but let’s begin with some of the basics. When the pulse is taken, three fingers over t...he radial artery are places on your wrist. Each of the fingers rests on a different section of the pulse: front; middle; and rear. Each section correlates with different organs. The pulse is felt, and also the pulse rate, but fingers also search for pulse length, depth and quality because these pulse attributes are equally important. When all this information together, the practitioner learns more about your wellness. In Chinese Medicine pulse diagnosis is also a very important diagnostic tool that provides your practitioner with information about the state of your health but in different ways. Chinese Medicine pulse diagnosis is a more detailed and subtle process; we are looking for much more than your pulse rate. Why is pulse diagnosis such a large part of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)? Because thousands of years ago when Chinese medicine theories began to develop, there were no x-rays or MRIs available to produce pictures of the insides of our bodies. Therefore, in their wisdom, the ancient Chinese doctors created external methods designed to understand the body’s interior, including: observation; careful questioning; tongue diagnosis; and pulse diagnosis.

24.01.2022 What’s in season? July in Australia. Support your local farmers, or plant a few seeds & nourish your bodies with what nature provides in season, in abundance f...or your body, in energy. Nourish yourself with warm food and drink lots of water; (Avoiding cold in temperature foods and drink) winter sucks the moisture out of your body. It is very important to hydrate by drinking at least 8 to 10 glasses of fresh water daily. Eat warming foods such as root vegetables, whole grains, and small amounts of meat or fish protein. If you are a vegetarian, eat more beans, nuts, and tempeh. For support during winter, you cannot go past a beautiful acupuncture session to invoke warmth and a sense of being nourished from within.

23.01.2022 THE WATER ELEMENT Water is the most yin of all the five elements. The organ systems associated with Water are the Kidneys and Urinary Bladder, which rule wat...er metabolism and maintain homeostasis, a dynamic continual rebalancing. As we age we lose water, and our bodies begin to dry out. Our bones and hair become more brittle, our skin loses its elasticity, our minds may lose their accustomed flexibility. While acknowledging these changes, Traditional Chinese Medicine gives us numerous mental, physical, and nutritional tools to help retard the progression of the apparently inevitable by offering ways to augment the water reserves within us.

21.01.2022 Often, the general public has a perception that when they receive 'dry needling' from a non-acupuncturist they are getting the same thing an acupuncturist would... give them. In this blog I explain the differences between 'dry needling' delivered by a non- acupuncture trained practitioner and 'dry needling' as it would be delivered by an acupuncturist. The differences are stark. Happy reading. Feel free to share :) http://www.peterkington.com.au/dry-needling-acupuncture/ See more

13.01.2022 A major cause of period pain & digestive health issues in Chinese medicine is consuming cold foods. Our bodies are designed to work best when warm. This means ...eating warm foods and keeping warm. Your metabolism the energy required for your body to function relies on this warmth. Eating cold foods, being cold, not wearing clothes to cover your feet, back and low abdomen all contribute to reduced pelvic blood flow and pain. Cold causes the body to constrict blood vessels and slow blood movement. When your period is due to start and this blood needs to move, it’s like the blood is ‘stuck’ and causes pain when it starts to move. Consume warm or room temperature drinks and meals. Warming steamed foods, soups, stews, casseroles etc are essential to help your body and digestion particularly if you suffer menstrual issues, digestive issues or have had a baby and are still in the postnatal phase.

12.01.2022 Researchers find acupuncture effective for the treatment of obesity. Results were obtained by implementing a protocolized body acupuncture point prescription wi...thout a diet or exercise program. [1] In a five week clinical trial, patients receiving acupuncture achieved a 2.9 kg mean weight loss and the decrease in mean BMI (body mass index) was 1.43. The laboratory findings, including serum levels of insulin, leptin, ghrelin, and cholecystokinin are consistent with the results. The controlled study documents that sham acupuncture does not produce significant positive patient outcomes, only true acupuncture achieves clinical results. Based on the evidence, the hospital researchers conclude that acupuncture treatment regulates weight for patients with obesity. Please see FULL ARTICLE below, or if on Instagram, in the BIO.
