Acupuncture is like the body’s version of “maybe try turning it off and then back on again?” quote

Spent my lunch break checking the heat lamp was working 😜. The heat lamp helps the blood vessels dilate which helps bring more blood and circulation to the area. With more circulation, comes more healing benefits. It can also help reduce inflammation.

Always great to hear!

This quote from reminded me that running on empty, or neglecting my own needs, ultimately reduces my capacity to support and care for others.

Acupuncture serves as a tool to replenish and restore balance by empowering you to better manage stress, pain and other challenges that may deplete your energy and resources.

This Self care gives you the strength and resilience to be present and supportive for others.

Chinese medicine tongue diagnosis. 👅 An insight into the acupuncture world.

Thank you so much Hannah Hope Nutrition for coming along. I definitely believe acupuncture and nutrition work in hand in hand.

Acupuncture is wonderful in treating hormone imbalances because it addresses the root of the issue and focuses on the whole person, and doesn’t focus only on symptom management.

PS I’m very glad it didn’t hurt!

I had an acupuncture session with the lovely Rina .acupuncture.

What do you think of when you think of acupuncture? It’s success with musculoskeletal problems? Fixing tennis elbow and sore shoulders? Well I went for emotions and hormones and a balancing treatment.

As a nutritionist, we are very science led, and luckily for me there are scientific studies, a systematic review in 2022 revealed acupuncture can reduce hot flushes, a 2011 RCT showed it can help with menopause symptoms and a 2018 review indicated acupuncture can alter hormone levels.
It’s been used in China as a treatment for over 3000 years, but as with all holistic treatments there is never enough studies as the money isn’t there, but there are some!

So along with nutritional changes, I find acupuncture can be a helpful adjunct to helping with hormone issues. If you are in St Albans or the local area, then check out Rina, she is very lovely and has such a kind and calming manner.

Ps it didn’t hurt, even though the thought of it might make you think otherwise!

Even the Dragons can see how great the ear seeds are! Well done Acu Seeds

The Nada protocol involves 5 ear points, developed in the 1970s for the treatment of addiction to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms. I use it with my clients to help reduce cravings for alcohol, drugs or ni****ne, and to improve sleep, give relief from stress and emotional trauma.

The spirit of NADA: "All beings have a right to self-determination and the capacity to transform."

Fear not!! It doesn’t hurt. 😊

It’s an ancient Chinese massage technique involving gentle scraping of the skin (with oil) to promote blood circulation, reduce muscle stiffness and enhance overall wellbeing.

The Gua Sha also aids in lymphatic drainage, helping to get rid of toxins from the body.

Redness after Gua Sha? This is referred to as “Sha” this shows the release of the stagnant energy. It will fade within 48 hours.

I use this technique within my acupuncture treatment when helping with neck and shoulder issues.

In traditional Chinese medicine, the balance of Yin and Yang, along with the flow of Qi, is believed to be essential for maintaining overall health and well-being. The concept is deeply rooted in the philosophy that opposites are interconnected and interdependent. Unknown credit for the picture

As part of my treatment I sometimes use ear seeds to enhance and prolong the benefits of the treatment.
