Strengthen Your Immune System

Your immune system works tirelessly to protect you, but stress, poor sleep, and diet can weaken it. Acupuncture boosts your immunity by improving circulation and balancing your body’s energy, enabling it to fend off illnesses more effectively.

Top Tips for a Strong Immune System:
• Stay hydrated: Water helps flush out toxins and keep your body functioning optimally.
• Incorporate immunity-boosting foods: Eat garlic, ginger, citrus fruits, and leafy greens.
• Prioritize rest: Allow your body to recover and rebuild with adequate sleep.
• Practice good hygiene: Wash your hands frequently and avoid touching your face.

With regular acupuncture and these immune-boosting habits, you’ll stay healthier year-round.

A good night’s sleep is vital for overall health, yet many people struggle with insomnia or restless nights. Acupuncture helps regulate your body’s internal clock by calming the nervous system and promoting relaxation. Over time, it can improve both the quality and duration of your sleep.

Top Tips for Better Sleep:
• Create a bedtime routine: Try activities like reading or gentle yoga before bed.
• Limit screen time: Avoid screens at least an hour before bedtime.
• Keep your bedroom cool and dark: These conditions promote deeper sleep.
• Avoid heavy meals before bed: Opt for light, easy-to-digest snacks if needed.

Combined with regular acupuncture, these habits can help you achieve restful and rejuvenating sleep.

For the last 15 years, The London Acupuncture clinic has specialised in providing treatment for natural conception and alongside assisted conception, as well as related medical conditions such recurrent miscarriage and pregnancy complications.
Some of our therapists specialising in fertility are able to discuss potential options, not only the ones that we provide at the clinic, so clients have a good understanding of their choices. We believe that the more the patient know, the more able they are to make informed choices that will get them to their goal as quickly as possible.
If you are currently a client at our clinics or received treatments for fertility then do you think if there is anything we can add or do to improve our practices for your optimal care? Please share your thoughts, we would like to hear from you!

Sadly, three times as many men as women die by su***de

Men aged 40 to 49 have the highest su***de rates in the UK

Men report lower levels of life satisfaction than women, according to the Government’s national well-being survey

Men are less likely to access psychological therapies than women: only 36% of referrals to NHS talking therapies are for men.

Better mental health can be achieved in a variety of ways - diet, exercise, talking, medication - all these things can help. At our clinic we have seen so many clients who feel acupuncture was a another huge help in improving their wellbeing. Help is out there in many forms.

What is being holistic?

In the last 20 years, we have seen our role as practitioners change considerably. Being holistic was previously seen as something presented as an alternative. The idea that things were interconnected was seen as a somewhat spiritual approach, and put at adds with a western medicine approach.

But times have changed. We have seen our roles described as alternative practitioners, and then complementary practitioners and now as integrated practitioners. And yet we haven’t changed. The understanding of the medical system around us has.

Being holistic, is simply being thorough. It is taking into consideration a clients entire being. Looking at all of their symptoms with an overall view, and looking for correlations and patterns and causes and links between the symptom they have. Being holistic simply means taking the time required to understand the person as an individual and treat them accordingly. At a time when the resources of mainstream medicine seem increasingly scarce, it is this time with a client to provide a comprehensive history that might be our greatest strength.

So, being holistic, is very simply listening to everything.

Acupuncture has been extensively applied to manage irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in clinical practice. This is probably one of the conditions we treat regularly in our clinic. Many of our clients find it difficult to manage IBS symptoms and they feel that it can significantly impact their social functioning and quality of their life.
 A recently published meta -analysis investigated the efficacy of acupuncture in relieving IBS related gastrointestinal pain compared to antispasmodic medication. The study has demonstrated that acupuncture was significantly more successful to relieve abdominal pain and symptoms of IBS globally then antispasmodic medication.  In the analysis of adverse events, acupuncture had a lower adverse event rate than most of the other antispasmodics.
How does acupuncture help IBS?
Acupuncture can help IBS through stimulating your nervous system in a way that releases chemicals and hormones that relieve pain, stress, and other symptoms. 
Studies into the effectiveness of acupuncture have shown results ranging from improved overall quality of life to effective management of gastrointestinal symptoms.
Are you ready to see if acupuncture can help with your IBS symptoms? We would be happy to see you!

How do we know that acupuncture can help with fertility?
Scientific studies have not fully explained how acupuncture works within the framework of Western medicine and therefore research continues to explore and define the possible underlying mechanisms of acupuncture. Some studies however investigated and identified a few mechanisms that bring about measurable physiological changes that can optimise fertility. These changes can be measured through blood work, neuroimaging and ultrasound scans.
▪️improving blood flow- by reducing uterine artery blood flow impedance
▪️inhibiting sympathetic nervous system activity- which improves blood flow to the ovaries and uterus, potentially improving oocyte quality and uterine receptivity. 
▪️inducing neurotransmitter secretion - activating the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone, which can regulate the menstrual cycle, influencing reproductive hormones and potentially restoring ovulation in anovulatory patients
▪️improving blood sugar metabolism and insulin resistance
▪️increasing endogenous opioid production which can reduce anxiety
Traditional Chinese medicine explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy within the energy pathways. Insertion of needles at specific acupuncture points promotes self -healing to restore feeling of wellness and optimal health.

We always appreciate your kind words..
 
Many of our clients choose to start their acupuncture in the months running up to an IVF cycle. Although initial studies showed that having acupuncture only on the day of embryo transfer can significantly increase the success of IVF, recent studies have demonstrated that regular treatments prior to the start of IVF can increase pregnancy success even further. You might be wondering what the adequate dosage is that would increase your IVF outcome. At our practices, a typical number of treatments may include 9-12 sessions prior to embryo transfer. For some of our clients where preparation is not an option, we recommend one session during downregulation, two sessions during stimulation and two sessions on the day of embryo transfer. We also offer dietary and lifestyle changes to optimise your health and your IVF success.

It’s a lovely part of our day when so many clients say during an acupuncture session that they know they will sleep well that night. An interesting side effect of acupuncture can be improved sleep - so imagine what we can do when it is an area we actually targeting!

There are many types and causes of insomnia. By understanding the nature of the reason for disturbed sleep, we can look to address the underlying problem.
