✴️ Acupuncture points are fascinating!✴️

They can have specific effects on the body and mind, and some are more general with multiple therapeutic applications...take ST36 or 𝘡𝘶𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘭𝘪 (translation=Leg Three Miles) on the Stomach meridian just below the knee joint..

Traditional medical texts say it harmonises Stomach and Spleen 𝘘𝘪, can help fortify 𝘞𝘦𝘪 𝘘𝘪 (the body's defence mechanism) and calms the 𝘚𝘩𝘦𝘯 or the mind / spirit. Modern studies also suggests it supports digestive health, strengthen the immune response and benefits mental health.

There are many acupoints such as this on the legs and arms, with a wide range of therapeutic applications - why not contact Sally K to find out how your health could improve with acupuncture?

💆‍♀️ Massage therapy comes in many forms..

The power of 'hands on' rehab to transform and heal has been underestimated by modern science in some ways, but people instinctively understand that it's a treatment modality that can help in a variety of illnesses and conditions, from chronic pain and fibromyalgia, to digestive and skin disorders, anxiety and depression.

When practiced in conjunction with therapeutic breath work, meditation, mindful movement and other techniques such as acupuncture and physiotherapy, massage becomes more than just a 'nice' thing to do, with effects more significant than simple relaxation - although that in itself can be a radical form of healing!

If this sounds like something that might help you on your health journey, please get in touch - appointments are available in my garden studio in Bolsover and will be tailor-made to suit your needs every time you visit.

⁉️ How does acupuncture work⁉️

There are many ways to answer the question...
☝️ From a traditional medicine point of view, inserting ultra-fine needles into specific areas help to restore the flow of 𝘘𝘪 which can cause pain and other problems when blocked or interrupted
✌️from a Western medicine point of view, multiple physiological mechanisms including endorphin release and anti-inflammatory effects help to enhance the body's own healing processes

Are you more tired than usual, struggling to sleep or having difficulty getting enough rest?🥱 😴

Drinking plenty of water, eating fresh fruits and veg, and taking regular exercise can all help - common sense, right?

But sometimes we need a helping hand or a little prompt to look after ourselves and do the things we all know are beneficial in the long run, because we don't have enough energy in the short term! This can be where a boost from a holistic therapy like acupuncture can help. I can also offer therapeutic yoga, mindfulness and massage to help you to get the rest you need.

Transitions 🍂

As we move from summer into autumn, and the nights really start to draw in, I look forward to the freshness of the season and colder mornings and evenings.
At the beginning of the school year, I find myself wanting to buy new shoes and thinking about stationary a lot 📚📘📗📙😹

If you have a chronic health condition, these transitions can be debilitating and off-putting, and finding changes to the usual routine can be a challlenge. But there is help at hand! Acupuncture is a gentle treatment that can help you rest and rebalance the nervous system to smooth out the bumps in the road that these changes bring.

Why not book yourself an appointment or chat with me to find out more:
