5 Element Acupuncture Mawdesley

These are soooo tasty! They are filled with ingredients that keep hormones happy and my children love them too!

Sweet potato helps to stabilise blood sugar, reduce inflammation and aids digestion. Their high fibre helps to metabolise excess estrogen, build progesterone and stabilise energy levels. They are high in vitamin B6 which helps manage mood swings.

Almond flour helps to reduce PMS. It is rich in magnesium, helps to reduce bloating, balances estrogen levels, provides anti-inflammatory support and reduces carb cravings.

Dark chocolate reduces the stress hormone cortisol, stabilises serotonin, improves insulin resistance, improves libido, reduces PMS cramps and boosts serotonin.

Mix the following in a bowl:

🦔 1 cup of cooked sweet potato that has been oven baked and mashed after removing the skin
🦔 2 eggs
🦔 1 table spoon of mild olive oil or melted coconut oil
🦔 2/3 cups of coconut sugar
🦔 3 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
🦔 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt
🦔 1 teaspoon of baking powder
🦔 4 cups of almond flour

The above makes 12… halve the ingredients to make 6. Use your hands to create equal balls and then flatten them slightly.

Chop a handful of high quality dark chocolate and place 2-3 small chunks into each cookie.

Arrange on a tray lined with baking paper (you will need 2 trays for 12 cookies).

Bake for 10 - 12 minutes at 180 degrees.

Enjoy 🥰

Before I treat patients with acupuncture, we discuss diet and lifestyle to see if there is anything that can be added or reduced to help them feel better and complement the acupuncture treatment. Acupuncture reduces cortisol, increases serotonin and balances hormones. It does this by increasing the blood flow around the body and moving energy so it isn’t getting stuck in the body. When blood and energy move freely, hormones are more balanced, we feel less irritable, happier and more energised. Blood and energy need the right foods to support them, nourish them and build them up ❤️

Acupuncture balances the Wood Element using the liver and gall bladder meridians to harmonise stagnant energy that is stuck in the body ❤️

The liver controls the blood and regulates emotions like anger, frustration and irritability. When these emotions sit in the liver, the flow of blood and energy slows down and gets stuck 😮‍💨

If you are experiencing headaches, irritability, menstruation issues, a lack of motivation or focus, tight muscles, sleep issues, or feelings of being “stuck”… acupuncture can help balance out your Wood Element so that you can feel a better version of yourself 💫

First appointments are £65 for 90 minutes or £75 for fertility appointments. This includes a health consultation before treatment where we can discuss as much as you wish to share about yourself physically, emotionally and mentally.

Follow up appointments are £50 for 45 minutes or £60 for fertility follow up appointments.

Although 1 or 2 treatments can offer huge improvements, acupuncture works best when a few treatments are done close together. This helps the body to adapt to a new rhythm that it then learns to keep coming back to. This may be a new rhythm to help the body feel safer, more relaxed or more energised.

To help patients get the most out of their acupuncture sessions, I offer the 5th one FREE! *When all 5 are booked within 3 months 🤗

A March birthday can surprise you with any one of the Elements… I’ve had snow on numerous occasions, but today I was gifted with the sunshine ☀️

Although we are only just on the cusp of entering the Wood Element, with fresh evidence of Spring, surrounded by reminders of Winter (Water Element)… we associate the warmth of the sun with the Fire Element, which also brings joy and laughter ❤️

What a beautiful day for a birthday… a big walk, yummy lunch at Spring Cottage and dinner with my favourite people 🤗

Took a day off to enjoy a brilliant day at the races yesterday… managed to choose 3 winners 🐎 🐎 🐎

I’ve always chosen horses based on whether I can find something in the name to resonate with…

🐴 Meetmebythesea… because who doesn’t want to be by the sea

🐴 Heart Wood - because Wood is one of my Five Elements, and Heart is the organ looked after by the Fire Element

🐴 Supremely West - actually this was Mike’s choice… but he let me keep the winnings… so I’m happy with his choice 🤗

I love learning how to use our environment to naturally heal and support the body 🤗

The 5 Elements within our environment are also within us
💙 💚 ❤️ 💛 🤍

Acupuncture gently taps in to nourish and support each of these elements using specific points on the body 🦔

Acupuncture relaxes the body, reduces cortisol, releases tension, removes emotional blockages and speeds up the body’s own ability to naturally heal itself ✨

Unlike the Water Element, which is calm, peaceful and still… the Fire Element is energetic, fun and care free 🤗

The Fire Element is associated with summer time… however, we can tap into each element at any time 🦔

Last night, at my sister’s amazing 40th birthday, those having fun on the dance floor were full of Fire 🔥

The Fire Element brings joy, it helps us to connect with others, to laugh with others and to be passionate with others ❤️

I love being part of every acupuncture journey and seeing people improve physically, mentally and emotionally as those tiny little needles tap in to release pain and anxiety, and balance hormones and emotions 🥰

Acupuncture also helps fertility, by improving the blood flow around the body, sending warmth to the uterus. It balances hormones so that ovulation is more likely to happen and so progesterone is high enough to support the implantation of an embryo. It reduces stress in the body which can be the biggest contributor to infertility (in both men and women).

Most of us need to let go of years of accumulated stress and emotion that the body is holding on to. Acupuncture is amazing for helping the body let go of emotional blockages and pollution in the body from poor diet, alcohol, medications and lingering old illnesses.

Thank you so much to my lovely patient who was so excited by her news she asked me to share her message 🤗

I love being part of every acupuncture journey and seeing people improve physically, mentally and emotionally as those tiny little needles tap in to release pain and anxiety, and balance hormones and emotions 🥰

But there is something extra special about being part of someone’s fertility journey… Especially as I first found acupuncture myself when trying to conceive and I fell in love with everything else it did to help me emotionally during a very difficult lot time ❤️

Sometimes we also need to let go of years of accumulated stress and emotion that the body has held on to before we can create space for something new to want to grow in the body.
