What a beautiful day! I was just thinking yesterday when I was going for my daily walk in the park, how lucky we are that at least the weather is nice for us to be able to get outside for a bit of exercise in the midst of what is happening right now...imagine how much worse it would have been if we were going through it in the thick of winter...it would be rainy, wet and freezing cold and we'd be stuck indoors day after day with nothing to do, not even exercise!!

Getting fresh air, sunshine and being in nature is very important for our mental well being, not just our physical. Sunshine is needed by the body for vitamin D which helps regulate our moods and boosts our immune system. So make sure you get outside and expose your skin to sunlight for at least 15 mins each day as this is the only way we can absorb it (but be careful don't get burnt!)

See you all on the other side of this pandemic! Stay safe :)

Every thing you need to know before coming in for your first acupuncture appointment!

Aside from washing your hands frequently, what can you personally do to help fight getting the corona virus? You can give your body the best chance of survival by eating the right nutrients to help boost your immune system.

Acupuncture also helps to boost the immune system but since we are all in isolation at the moment, a visit to the clinic is not an option right now, but eating the right foods is still possible. So give yourself the best fighting chance.

Also keep moving, do exercises to release stagnant emotions (we call this moving your qi), and do deep breathing exercises/meditation to calm the mind. We need to stay calm instead of giving in to fear, which paralyses us and causes panic (the cause of stock piling!).

The clinic is based in the city near the Four Courts in Stoney Batter, dublin 7. Free car parking.

The clinic...

True story. A man came into the clinic 3 weeks ago complaining of a very bad neck and upper back pain (8 out of 10 on a scale of 1 to 10 and 10 being the highest).

During the consultation, it was established that he has had this condition for the past two years and the acute pain was constant. The shooting pain went up his back and all the way to his head.

There was no logical explanation for the pain as he had not been injured in an accident or anything. It just appeared one day out of no where.

In TCM (Traditional Chinese Medecine) we explain the cause as being blockage in the vessels of the back and neck due to stress or emotional disorders.

The treatment principle is to remove the blockage and move fresh blood to the area to reduce the pain, as blood is very healing since it contains a lot of nutrients. Acupuncture works by stimulating the nerves which sends signals along the neural pathway up to the brain, triggering the release of feel good chemicals called endorphins, which are the body's natural painkillers.

Amazingly after the first treatment the patient reported that the pain had completely gone away! It has been over two weeks now and he is still pain free. This is a great result since normally the pain does come back within a few days but with less intensity and the patient is required to have some more treatments in order to bring the intensity down each time until it goes down to zero pain.

In this case even though the pain hasn't returned, the patient is still attending regular treatments every week. Why? you may ask...well in TCM we don't only treat the symptons (ie. the pain), we also identify the root cause of the pain (what made it happen in the first place) and we treat that too so that it doesn't happen again. This is the difference between TCM and western medicine which just prescribes pills to deal with the pain but does not address the underlying root cause. Also as well as just masking the symptons, the problem with taking medecine is the dangerous side effects of the drugs on the brain and the psychological impact. Acupuncture on the other hand is a natural treatment, free from any risky side effects. It removes blockages and promotes balance in the mind and body. When they are in complete balance then there should be no physical or mental symptons.

I hope I have managed to give you all a better understanding of acupuncture and how we acupuncturists approach things. If you think we can help you then please do get in touch by calling 085 245 7790.

In our modern society, increasingly more and more people are feeling isolated and disconnected from each other and from themselves.

Achieving deep sleep is necessary for brain health and to remove alzeimers toxins...scientists have discovered.

So you can imagine how frustrated I have been recently waking up every night in the middle of the night and unable to fall back asleep! Argghhhh!!!

Thank goodness for acupuncture which has helped me to sleep for longer and get closer to my 8 hours needed!! I am now able to function more like a human being again and not walking around like a zombie. If it had not been for acupuncture (combined with a new healthy diet), I dread to think what would happen in the future if the condition became chronic...after years of sleep deprivation, the risk of get neuro degenerative diseases such as dementia and alzeimers, would be a higher certainty...

Interesting article on fertility in both men and women and the advances in science. Shockingly the s***m count in men have dropped by 50% since 1970! Not to mention the reduced quality of s***m due to sedentary lifestyle and obesity...so clearly infertility is not solely due to women as it has largely been made out to be.

But the good news is that the quality of s***m DNA can be reversed in just 3 months by changes in lifestyle, stopping smoking, drinking alcohol and a better diet.

So the biological clock is ticking for men too.

I can honestly say that personally I would be lost without acupuncture as I have treated myself for quite a few very painful conditions, the latest being pain in my left shoulder rotator cuff muscles that made it even difficult for me to get dressed! Thankfully it's now almost back to normal because of acupuncture and I just wished more people could benefit from this amazing and natural ancient Chinese medicine therapy. Acupuncture effectively treats ANY type of pain...headaches, pre menstrual pain, arthritis, fibromyalglia, knee, hip pain etc. come and try it out! pain is my most favourite treatment to give as I have so much personal experience from it and know how awfully debilitating it can be. Also being a bit on the lazy side, I love just sitting back and relaxing whilst the needles perform their magic and the instant pain relief I get from the moment they are inserted and the many days after. If you don't believe me then there's only one way to find out! See you in my clinic soon :) for those of you interested in reading an article endorsed by the World Health Organisation on using acupuncture for pain relief, click here: https://abcnews.go.com/Health/close-acupuncture-pain/story?id=23411898&cid=share_facebook_widget
