Around one in forty Australians are estimated to be living with COPD, and it’s not a nice condition at all. The causes range from genetic factors, to childhood illnesses, to environmental exposures, to smoking. Common symptoms include coughing, mucous and difficult or laboured breathing. Unsurpris...

Acupuncture after a stroke. One of my latest blog posts 🌸

I have found working with stroke patients very rewarding. Unfortunately a stroke can leave some who was previously hale and hearty struggling with even the essentials of a daily dignity. And in need of support in ways that they might not have every imagined. Although the onset of a stroke may come o...

Acupuncture for Meniere's disease. One of my latest blog posts :-)

Before I first treated someone with Meniere’s disease, I think even I had that idea in the back of my mind that vertigo is just about feeling uneasy with heights! One discussion with one Meniere’s patient promptly set me straight on that. Vertigo symptoms can be horrible, and tinnitus too is som...

I get a surprising number of enquiries about this :-)

I get enquiries, from time to time, about whether Chinese medicinal bleeding can be used to remove significant volumes of blood, in a similar way to conventional bloodletting. Whaaaat? I hear you say. Yes, conventional medicine does still include bloodletting. It’s known as therapeutic phlebotomy....

My latest blog post. It's hard to keep up with all the great acupuncture research that's coming out :-)

Fatty liver disease is unfortunately becoming a widespread problem. It may be ‘silent’, with no obvious signs, or common symptoms can range from fatigue and malaise (feeling ill) to itching to feelings of pressure or discomfort in your liver area (under your right ribcage).

My latest blog post. It's great to see more and more research coming out on the benefits of acupuncture

The short term impacts of having a stroke are well known, but it can be less well recognised that as your experience of a stroke unfolds, depression and anxiety can set in. Around a third of people who experience a stroke will need treatment for depression. Family members too, may go through difficu...

I was very happy to see a study come out on this :-) Not a nice condition for people to live with at all.

Can acupuncture help with peripheral neuropathy? Neuropathy comes in many forms, with many causes, but for some it can be a very unwelcome side effect of chemotherapy. Your feet or hands can feel numb or tingly, or have burning or stabbing pains. Weakness and dizziness or impaired balance can follow...

My latest blog post :-)

Lots of pregnant ladies contact me to ask about acupuncture to promote labour, and to check whether I offer acupuncture during pregnancy, which I’m happy to say I do. Often people mention that another health professional has suggested it to them, and it is great to see a growing awareness of acupu...

Wow, great to see the acupuncture evidence base building up and up ❤️❤️❤️

Heart disease is not new, although the Covid pandemic seems to have brought cardiac symptoms more to the fore among my patients, including sometimes in younger people. In rare cases covid vaccinations have caused myocarditis and pericarditis, inflammation of heart tissue and the membrane surrounding...

Well, I was interested to see favourable research for treating gout with acupuncture, electroacupuncture, AND blood-letting! The evidence base is really moving forwards :-)

As anyone who’s ever suffered it knows, gout is a horrible business. It’s a metabolic condition which can lead to a build up of uric acid in your system, forming crystals in your joints, and flaring up with nasty pain, swelling and redness in your joints. As the scientific research into traditio...
