Acupuncture research has more than 17,000 clinical trials in the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials with over 9,000 positive recommendations for acupuncture practice guideline and treatment guidelines around the world.

Mental health has been brought forward the past few years, even though we have more awareness to what it is, it remains a stigma in our society to suffer from anxiety, depression and we became so good at hiding it.

Life has become extremely stressful, we are always being pushed to do more, be more, want more. Social media that was supposed to create this beautiful wave of connection is raising the level of our anxiety, are we just enough?

In clinic we see the stress levels up to the roof, fear of failing, overworked, overstretched, insomnia, palpitations, chest pain, exhaustion, abdominal pain
tension, irritability, shortness of breath, vertigo, nausea ...

Acupuncture is a great resource to help with dealing with mental health, in fact research show that acupuncture combined with psychotherapy are extremely effective in reducing symptoms.

But more than that, we forgot we are all in the same boat, please reach out, talk to you friends, family, workmates, your health practitioner. We are here to help 🙏

Feeling bloated after a meal or having difficulties to digest can be really unsettling and impair the day. A quick and easy way to improve your digestion is acupressure.

Simply press those two points a few minutes a day can help improve your digestive issues.

To help restoring your guts regular acupuncture treatments can help.

We are open this friday, come in to start the weekend pain free, refreshed and relaxed

Back pain

In clinic, this is one of the most common complaints this season, no wonder, the kidney/bladder meridians that run through there are associated with winter.

Acupuncture has been shown to be very efficient at treating pain.

Unlike a size fits all approach, we will assess what is the root of your pain, is it because you are overworked? or maybe too stressed? Have you been exposed to the cold a lot? Is it before your periods? Is it due a past accident/ trauma or has it just started one day and never went away?

Whatever your answer is, either chronic or acute, we will assist in lowering the pain and help getting you back on track.

In Winter Yin is peaking, while Yang energy is submerged both in nature and within your body. In comparison with other seasons, your body's activity levels and metabolism have also slowed down. Traditional Chinese Medicine advices, in order to supplement our Qi, Yang, and blood during the winter, to eat appropriate fats and high-protein foods.
The use of acrid herbs, warming tea, hot spices is also recommended in a cold season diet. Winter is the season of the Kidneys, and is associated with the colour black, therefore it is essential to strengthen the kidneys with coloured foods.Limit the amount of cold and cooling foods to protect your body against a cold invasion from the external elements. Equally as important, you will also foster a vigorous digestive fire and robust metabolism.

To maximise your energy and keep in optimal health this winter, implementing some simple but effective steps goes a long way.

Following the natural cycles of our environment is what the ancients have taught us. Winter is when nature retreats to build up its reserves for the next cycle. It is a period where things are quieter and still. For us it is a good time to stay in, sleep longer, slow down, reflect, replenish and consolidate our energy.

Seing your acupuncturist will help you strengthen your immunity.

By following those few steps we will be on optimal health for the months to come.

Community acupuncture is very common in China, in fact most of the treatments are conducted this way.

So what's different? It is like a regular treatment only conducted in a communal setting.

With the chill of winter months, keep warm is important, drinking teas is an important routine in Traditional Chinese medicine and can help keeping the cold symptoms at bay while warming your body!

Try this one and let us know what you think.

Community acupuncture sessions are held in groups, in a large room with masage tables and reclining chairs placed in a comfortable and respectful distance. Patients sessions are scheduled 15 minutes apart in order to have an individual consultation with the acupuncturist. Needles are then inserted for around 30 mins. A treatment is 45 minutes in total.

The treatments are primarily on the front of the body and mainly on distal points (legs, arms, hands, feet, ears), so it is better to wear loose and comfortable outfits. We won’t expose part of the body that can make you uncomfortable.
