Eleanor Dearden, Acupuncture

Eleanor Dearden, Acupuncture Eleanor Dearden MAcS TCM has a degree-level diploma in Acupuncture, and is an accredited member of The Acupuncture Society.

Acupuncture can help with many conditions, including back pain, sciatica, headaches & migraines, digestive problems, respiratory disorders, hormonal imbalances, fatigue, fibromyalgia & pain, and many other health complaints. Eleanor trained in Traditional Chinese-style Acupuncture and Orthopaedic Acupuncture, under Paul Robin and the College of Chinese Medicine, London and Edinburgh. She is currently studying Chinese Herbal Medicine to complement her practice. Eleanor has a lifelong interest in a holistic approach to health and wellbeing. Working as a clinic manager in a complementary health clinic in Edinburgh and Glasgow, she was privileged to learn about many different health practices, and work with a variety of practitioners from different fields. In 2003 she completed three years of certified practitioner training in Shiatsu therapy, a system which is based on similar principles as acupuncture. Five years of practicing Shiatsu laid the foundation for her experience of this effective system, and led her naturally to pursue a qualification in acupuncture.

I treat so many women with hormonal imbalances, from period cramps, PMT, heavy or prolongued periods, and more - and have seen amazing results with acupuncture.

Here are some of the things that acupuncture can do to help:

✨Release endorphins
✨Improve blood flow
✨Balance hormones
✨Reduce inflammation
✨Lower stress
✨Relax muscles

I always recommend a course of treatment for best results, so we can work with your cycle and help to regulate your hormones throughout.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), tongue diagnosis is one of the essential diagnostic methods, reflecting the body’s internal state and overall health. By examining the tongue’s colour, shape, coating, and texture, we gain invaluable insights into a person's internal health patterns, guiding treatment plans effectively.

One week down as a two-clinic practitioner! I'm feeling so inspired by the energy in the Edinburgh clinic, and incredibly grateful for the warm welcome from the team there. It's great to bounce ideas with other acupuncturists, and boost my learning - and I’ve loved bringing that new-found creative energy back to my 'home' clinic in Lauder this week.
Feeling balanced, inspired, and ready for week two! 🌿✨

How does acupuncture help sciatica?
The needles trigger a response from the nervous system, which leads our brain to:

✨release a cascade of natural painkillers (endorphins and enkephalins),
✨increase blood flow to the painful area,
✨relax the muscles in the surrounding area, reducing compression and inflammation.

Sciatica can be a debilitating condition, but acupuncture offers a promising, effective, and safe treatment option. We address both the symptoms and underlying causes, personalising a treatment, and sometimes incorporating associated techniques like cupping and electro-stimulation.

Acupuncture can provide significant pain relief, improve function, and enhance quality of life. 🥰

❄️Winter is the time to nourish and protect your deepest energy reserves.
When Kidney energy is strong, we feel resilient, balanced, and ready to face the year ahead.
When it’s weak, we can feel fatigued, fearful, or burnt out.

SIMPLE WAYS TO SUPPORT YOUR KIDNEY ENERGY:

❄️ Keep Warm: Protect your lower back, neck, and feet from cold.
❄️ Nourish: Opt for warming, dark-coloured foods, and incorporate warming spices like ginger and cinnamon.
❄️ Rest & Sleep: Try to align with the shorter days and longer nights. Just as nature goes dormant, your body needs a period of replenishment. This isn't laziness—it's vital energy storage!

Need a winter tune-up?
Acupuncture is the perfect way to conserve your Kidney energy, boost your immunity, and keep you grounded throughout the holidays and into the New Year😊❄️🔆
