Yippee… Evil Bone Water delivery arrived this morning from the US.

I have patients who have been eagerly awaiting this delivery. I’ve felt like I’m a drug dealer rationing supplies 😂 over the last two weeks but it’s an amazing product that works fabulously with MSK issues!

Thanks to brinson and the great team at Evil Bone Water

40 years ago I passed needlecraft with a grade 1. 28 years ago my parents bought me a sewing machine as part of my wedding gifts…
Over the years the sewing machine has sat in the loft room gathering dust and today I went into the eaves to bring it down to do some repairs. Having given it a good old clean, I realised I don’t have the right colour threads in my little sewing box…. Another trip around the house to find mum’s one. What a treasure trove! Those that know me personally know mum is unable to do any sewing now…. I never need to buy any sewing threads, safety pins, EVER again! ✨💖🥰

Now to see if I can sew in a straight line!

I had this delicious sweet and sour courgette pickle earlier this year when visiting some patients in Switzerland.

I have been (very impatiently 😂) waiting to harvest my yellow and green courgettes in the garden to make up a batch. Today Mum and I picked three courgettes and have made up a jar. Yippeeee!!

Next job to find a good tomato relish recipe! 🤓

I know I am terrible at updating things on Facebook but just wanted to share what a lovely week it’s been in clinic and that I am feeling very blessed. In this Five Element season of Fire, I recognise that joy for me is also achieved through sharing.

I was given these beautiful flowers from one of my lovely patients who has been struggling with a lot of emotional issues. She said that she was so thankful of the space and non judgemental chats we shared in her last session which allowed her to offload some very heavy feelings she had been carrying and hadn’t been able to speak with anyone about it.

One of my long standing patients that I helped through two complex pregnancies got back in touch because she felt exhausted and knew that she needed some acupuncture again to boost up her reserves before her maternity leave ends.

Another of my patients sent me a 12 week pregnancy scan after a history of several miscarriages 🌟💖🙏

One of my fertility patients, sent a photo of her little son who arrived safely at the weekend, again a complex health history with miscarriages and treatment through the last 18 months to regulate her cycle,

Another who has been dealing with a great deal of stress and anxiety following the sudden hospitalisation of her child reported that she had slept through the night and hadn’t had an episode of physical shaking in over a week, which she had been experiencing intensely and daily for the last six weeks.

🙏🙏🙏

I am running the Allergies Clinic at Still House Clinic this month. If you suffer from Hayfever or Allergic Rhinitis, this is a great time to book in a treatment before your symptoms take hold.

It's also an excellent time to look at a Seasonal Rebalancing treatment so if you're feeling slightly out of sorts with low energy levels, or have been struggling with a flare up of symptoms such as joint pains or headaches, this may be an indicator that a seasonal treatment may be needed.

Find out further information about acupuncture at www.jchana.com or feel free to contact me to discuss your individual symptoms either by email at acupuncture@jchana.com or by telephone 07590 259888

Embracing Natural Health in the Year of the Wood Snake

As the vibrant celebrations of the Lunar New Year burst into life, it's the perfect time to reflect on the zodiac's symbolism and the opportunities it brings for personal growth and wellness.

Each Year in the Chinese zodiac carries unique energy and lessons, and the Year of the Snake is no exception. Representing wisdom, intuition, and transformation, the Snake encourages us to embrace balance and shed old habits to reveal our most vital selves. By adopting practices that nurture the mind, body, and spirit, we can embark on a journey toward renewed vitality and well-being.

Within Chinese culture, the Snake is a symbol of intelligence, elegance, and healing. This creature, often associated with renewal due to its ability to shed its skin, inspires us to let go of what no longer serves us. The Year of the Snake is a call to reflect inwardly, strengthen our intuition, and prioritise self-care. It's a reminder that wellness is about physical health, emotional balance, and spiritual growth.

Natural healthcare practices align beautifully with the Snake's energy. These methods are rooted in ancient traditions that emphasise prevention, balance, and the body's innate ability to heal itself.

Here are some reasons why incorporating natural health care is particularly beneficial in the Year of the Snake:
Holistic Healing: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), herbal remedies, and other natural approaches address the root cause of issues rather than just the symptoms. This mirrors the Snake's introspective nature, encouraging us to understand and resolve imbalances deeply.
Stress Reduction: Practices like acupuncture, tai chi, and meditation promote relaxation and reduce stress. The Snake's wisdom reminds us that inner peace is essential for overall health.
Detoxification and Renewal: The Snake's ability to shed its skin symbolises detoxification and renewal. Herbal teas, cleansing diets, and supportive therapies can help the body eliminate toxins and reset for the Year ahead.
Alignment with Nature: Natural health care emphasises seasonal living, which is deeply connected to the philosophy of the Chinese New Year. By eating seasonally, adjusting our routines to the rhythms of nature, and using plant-based remedies, we stay in harmony with the changing energy of the Year.

Simple Natural Health Practices for the Year of the Snake
To fully embrace the transformative energy of the Snake and prioritise natural health, consider these simple yet powerful practices:
Herbal Remedies: Incorporate herbs like ginseng for energy, goji berries for immunity, and chrysanthemum tea for calming effects. These traditional ingredients can help to support overall well-being and balance.
Mindful Movement: Engage in tai chi, qigong, or yoga to build strength, flexibility, and mindfulness. These practices promote the graceful and deliberate energy associated with the Snake.
Meditation and Journaling: Take time to reflect on your goals, dreams, and inner wisdom. Meditation and journaling can help you align with the Snake's intuitive and contemplative spirit.
Seasonal Nutrition: Enjoy warming foods during the winter months, such as soups, ginger, and garlic, to nourish your body and maintain vitality.
Acupuncture and Massage: These therapies enhance energy flow, reduce stress, and support physical and emotional balance. Regular treatments can help you stay aligned throughout the Year.

As we celebrate the Lunar New Year and welcome the Year of the Snake, let us honour its call for transformation, balance, and wisdom. By integrating natural health care into our lives, we can align with the Snake's energy, achieve greater harmony, and pave the way for a year of vitality and renewal.
Happy Chinese New Year! May the Year of the Snake bring you wisdom, health, and abundant joy.

I thought this week would be a little challenging emotionally but what a beautiful fertility related week it has turned out to be in clinic. Two acupuncture babies safely arrived into the world - both conceived after doctors told my patients they were very high risk due to complicated health histories and would struggle to conceive naturally. Both fell pregnant straight away after acupuncture treatments and have had support throughout for nausea, vomiting, musculoskeletal issues and over the last few weeks preparing for labour. Can't wait to meet my little acubabies!

Plus two new positive pregnancy test results shared, a patient with pelvic girdle pain telling me she has been able to go for a long walk again without being doubled up in pain and another with severe morning sickness messaging to let me know she's starting to feel normal again.

It makes me feel so blessed to be able to support couples throughout their pregnancies and beyond. The lovely thank you cards here are just some of the messages I receive.

If you'd like to have a chat about whether acupuncture can help with your symptoms, please feel free to message me directly or contact Fiona on 07308 176914 to schedule in a consultation.
