Finding what makes us whole and nourishes us at a time where nature asks us to go inwards is deeply restoring for the light within us…

🌄 Large Intestine 4 (or “Joining Valley”) is located in the web between the thumb and index finger on both hands 🤲

If you have had acupuncture before, then there is a high chance that you have experienced having this point needled. It is usually a little achy when pressed, especially when needing some TLC. Once you find the spot you can massage it with gentle to moderate pressure in small circular motions for several minutes.

LI4 is a wonderful point for treating “wind” conditions and can make a difference to cold and flu symptoms like fever/chills, headaches, runny nose, sore throat and dizziness. If you have any issues with constipation or bowel motions then this is also a great point for you. It is a powerful point for boosting the body’s immune system, counteracting inflammation and relieving pain.

In regards to emotions, pressing this point will give you a feeling of calm and can release trapped emotions, so it can be valuable in times of high emotional stress. Another obscure function of this point according to a Japanese Master Acupuncturist is that it helps with people who have a difficulty connecting with others 💚

‼️PLEASE NOTE: Avoid using this acupressure point when you are pregnant.

As they say: “It takes two to tango” — Dance can be seen as a metaphor for life, a dynamic interplay that takes equal input from both partners to create something beautiful, and it applies to many things, but when we are talking about fertility and baby-making, we need to focus on male reproductive system health and S***m Health, just as much as we have to focus on female reproductive system health and the health of the Ova(eggs).  🔬📚 Studies on Acupuncture and Chinese herbs have shown they are helpful in assisting Male Fertility and sexual function primarily by balancing the nervous system, regulating hormone levels, reducing inflammation, improving s***m health/parameters and increasing testicular blood flow.

📍Follow our quick guide on male pre-conception health here, and if you wish to take it further to assist you in creating a family, book in for an appointment at Tonika Health

Acupuncture is an ancient technique used in Traditional Chinese Medicine with scientifically proven benefits. It involves the use of fine needles at specific points on the body along energy pathways called meridians/channels. The intention is to stimulate the healing energy of the body – Qi – to restore the body to a balanced and healthy state.

🪷Does acupuncture hurt?
Often people find it quite painless, some patients even fall asleep! At most you might feel a mild tenderness at the site of insertion.

🪷What does acupuncture help with?
Acupuncture’s application is broad: fertility, hormonal balance, male fertility, stress management, mental health, digestion, immunity, sleep disturbance, musculo-skeletal pain, chronic pain, skin and cosmetic applications and lots more!

Our acupuncturists, Peter and Veronika spent the weekend learning a special treatment technique that will be offered at the practice in 2025 - NET.
NET (Neuro-Emotional Technique) is a technique that has been practiced since 1988 that assists in clearing NEC’s (Neuro-Emotional Complexes or Stressors) from the body. This helps patients to process emotions that have had an effect on the body-mind-emotion-nervous system connection to positively influence different health issues that have potentially been brought about through psycho-emotional stressors.
The method dovetails perfectly with acupuncture/Chinese medicine principles and uses a comprehensive knowledge of the 5 elements, acupuncture points and acupuncture channels, as well as the central nervous system.
By undertaking diverse training, Peter and Veronika are able to bring new methods to the practice to help their patients better, especially in cases influenced by psycho-emotional stressors/factors.
Peter and Veronika have both experienced the technique personally in their lives, hence chose to bring the technique to the practice.
They will be refining and developing their skills with the method over the next months and will make the service available in 2025.
Ask us more about it if you wish to have a session in the new year!

A big thank you to for hosting a fantastic NET seminar!
