Ditto. The human being is not a toilet system and if you treat it as such, it will malfunction.

“Sharing this article here as this is a common conversation I have with patients.
"Drink to your thirst" is the advice that I have been giving people for years, and it is now also in this article.
Drinking too much water is not good for us, it means our body has to process it out again.”

Do we really need to gulp down eight glasses of water a day – or is it a myth? We ask an expert

Whenever we have no appointments available to offer at the clinic, or when a patient moves to another area, we always refer to practitioners of Register of Chinese Herbal Medicine. They tend to be experienced, and do not just practice Chinese Herbal Medicine, but also Acupuncture-Moxibustion and other TCM methods, and can tailor the treatment according to the individual patient's condition.

It’s week!

We are pleased to join in with Arthritis Awareness Week to help support the community of 10 million or more in the UK suffering with arthritis, and to offer information about safe and effective options that address the root of the condition and treat its symptoms .

Follow us as this week we will be posting patient stories, articles on how Chinese Herbal Medicine views the successful diagnosis and treatment of symptoms,
some research into the treatment of arthritis with common formulas and a look at how internal and external applications may help.


There will be a spotlight on some of our 'antirheumatic herbs' and explanations of how we in Chinese Medicine make our formulas around their therapeutic actions.

We hope we can help you to :

• Learn a bit about Arthritis
• Share some of our posts and information to raise awareness.
• Encourage those you know, living with arthritis, to engage in suitable and manageable daily physical activity (and explain why Chinese Medicine thinks this is essential too!)

• We give our thanks to Arthritis Charities who help those living with this condition including Arthritis Action, Versus Arthritis, Revitalise, and the NHS for their ongoing work in this area

Please note that Chinese Herbal Medicine formulas should only be given by a sufficiently trained practitioner who uses herbal ingredients from an RCHM approved supplier, audited for safety and sustainability.

🍁🍂As we now are at the Autumn Equinox the night and the day are equal -we are at the pivot before the descent into winter picks up a pace.

🫁The health of the Lung and the Large Intestine organs are emphasised, both as physical structures and organs, and their psychological aspect that allows us to process grief, and let go of that which we no longer need.

🍲Eating a diet that has warm well cooked ‘wet’ foods like soups and stews supports the immune system - which together with proper chewing ensures that excess mucous isn’t produced that can settle in the lungs. This helps the body perform at its best when respiratory viruses are circulating.

🌿Traditionally, this would be a good time to see your Chinese Medical Practitioner for treatment.

🧣Wearing a scarf around the neck from now until the spring is wise, as is taking time to find what balance means in your life.

☯️Do you work too hard? Exercise enough or too much? Do you value yourself and your time enough? How can you create time for yourself whilst honouring commitments in life?

From us all at Register of Chinese Herbal Medicine we wish all practitioners of Chinese Medicine and our patients, and all those seeking to improve their health, a peaceful Autumn Equinox and journey inward.

"Studies show that acupuncture is more effective than pharmacotherapy and comparable to talking therapy, making it a helpful referral choice."

"Moreover, research has revealed several known biochemical and biophysical mechanisms that may offer an explanation of how this ancient modality works."

This very sad story highlights EXACTLY why short courses lasting a few days in ‘dry needling’ are potentially dangerous. Sports Physiotherapists are dry needling - they are NOT fully trained acupuncturists.

To *stay safe* and receive *effective acupuncture*, please ensure you visit an experienced acupuncturist who has a minimum of a 3 years' degree level training and is a member of a recognised professional association.

It was a really traumatic time for me and something that Im still figuring out now, still working through, Ellen White told BBC Sport how her decision to retire was accelerated by suffering a punctured lung.
