Help for Menopause available at Orchard Osteopaths! ☺️

🌿 Struggling with menopause symptoms? Acupuncture might help. 🌿

Hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and sleep issues can take a toll during menopause — but you don’t have to go through it alone.

✨ Acupuncture offers natural relief by supporting hormonal balance, reducing stress, and improving overall well-being. Many women report fewer hot flashes, better sleep, and a greater sense of calm after just a few sessions.

🧘‍♀️ It’s not just about needles — it’s about restoring balance to your body during a time of change.

Did you know that Cranial Osteopathy can help address the emotional trauma trapped in your body? 🤲🍃

Stress and emotional trauma can be stored in your Fascia and Muscles, creating what can appear to be random symptoms that have no cause. With Cranial Osteopathy your practitioner is able to tap into those areas and start the process of release, easing your symptoms and reducing the tension in your body. ☀️🧘

When you bite your tongue to “keep the peace,” your body pays the bill.
Pressure at the temples, an itchy/closed throat, tight chest or shallow breath, wired-but-tired nights, heavy limbs, and bloating are classic signs that unspoken emotion is getting stored instead of expressed. In TCM terms, this often involves the Liver–Lung axis (frustration + grief), and your system starts signaling for relief.

Your body isn’t against you, it’s asking for an honest conversation.
Use the Emotional Response Method to trace the trigger → decode the symptom → choose a new response.

Autumn Gentian is one of Bach’s flowers that is struggling in our rapidly changing environment.

It's a low growing plant that only opens its flowers in strong sunshine, which makes finding it hard unless you have a regular location as we do.

This year the UK has seen months without any real rainfall. For Gentian this presents a problem as it likes moist, but not wet, well drained calcareous soil. It needs consistent rain to be able to thrive and we simply haven’t had sufficient for the plants to be healthy enough for essence making.

To make an essence we have to use plants that are healthy within a clean environment. Weather plays a huge role in their health and we are always at its mercy. But climate change is accelerating the challenges we face.

In the past, having unbroken sunshine has been a big challenge. This year we have had plenty of sunshine but not enough rain. In previous years too much rain and not enough sun has been our challenge. Flowering times are no longer as consistent as they were and we have to monitor the plants closely. Making essences enables us to witness the impacts of climate change in real time.

Thankfully we maintain good supplies of our mother essences to see us through the ups and downs of weather but this does not lessen our concern for the plants and environment.
