Lots of lovely moxa in clinic at the moment 🔥

🔥What is Moxibustion?🔥

Moxibustion (moxa) uses gentle heat from a dried herb called mugwort to warm specific acupuncture points. It supports circulation, eases tension, boosts digestion and menstrual health — and is often used to enhance fertility by warming the womb, improving blood flow, and supporting hormone balance.

A soothing, natural addition I love to use when the body needs warmth and nourishment.

and book your acupuncture ❤️🥰

The festive season is fast approaching 🎄Christmas can bring so much joy, but it can also be a time of huge stress. If you have any tips on how to cope through the festive period, when things get a bit too intense, pop them in the comments.

Although stress isn't a mental health condition, the two are closely related – stress can lead to poor mental health, and poor mental health can cause stress. Find out more about stress and how to look after yourself on our website💙

More people than ever are turning to acupuncture for support with their mental health 🌱

A recent national survey found that nearly 70% of acupuncturists have seen an increase in clients seeking help for anxiety, stress, and low mood — yet GP referrals are still lagging behind.

At Rachael Thompson Acupuncture, I see first-hand how gentle, holistic acupuncture can help calm the nervous system, ease tension, and support emotional wellbeing 💚 It can be an amazing and supportive treatment for people with mental health issues.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, anxious or struggling with depression, natural support is available. You are so welcome in my clinic just as you are.
