Happy Lunar New Year!

The year of the Yang Wood Dragon intertwines the decent of Heaven’s Yang Wood coupled with the Earth Branch of the Dragon. Whilst the Dragon is predominantly Yang Earth, it has small fragments of Yin Wood & Yin Water.

This year, be aware of the opportunity to implement change.

Anxiety is the theme of Mental Health Awareness Week 15-21 May 2023

Up to half a million people in the UK experience work-related stress every year along with other common stress factors include alcohol, smoking, exams, pregnancy, divorce, moving, death in family, lifestyle, drugs, poor nutrition and unemployment (Health and Safety Executive 2011). Anxiety is one of the commonest reactions to stress, such that the two are often considered together, and treated in the same way.

Recent systematic reviews of the evidence found consistently positive results in trials of acupuncture for anxiety (Amorim 2018: thirteen randomised controlled trials (RCTs); Goyata 2016).
