Acupuncture has many, many applications.

This study shows that real acupuncture- that is as opposed to sham acupuncture, used as a control, -showed greater benefits for brain function compared to sham acupuncture and usual care in breast cancer survivors.

Isn't that wonderful?

Real and sham acupuncture improved perceived cognitive function versus usual care, with real acupuncture showing greater benefits for objective cognitive outcomes.

In nature everything rests in Winter.

Animals…

sleep more or hibernate,
need more food,
move slower to conserve energy.

Don’t punish yourself for following nature.

People with chronic health conditions often focus on treating their symptoms.

When they are relieved of symptoms, they naturally feel as if the condition is resolving. However, in order to fully heal from any condition, the root cause must be addressed, with a view of the body as a wholly integrated system.

Acupuncture always treats the root cause, starting with the highest priority.

Without a deeper appreciation and recognition of the body as a wholly integrated mind-body-spirit system, we will continue to treat symptoms as the root cause.

Without recognising and addressing the body’s warning signs, real health and healing will continue to elude us.

Warmth that heals 🔥

This technique is called moxibustion - or moss- a traditional Chinese medicine therapy that uses gentle heat to support circulation, ease tension, and nourish the body. It’s especially helpful during the colder months when many of us feel tighter, slower, or more fatigued.

Will you be winding down for the holidays?

How long will you commit to yourself?

The festivities can really take its toll on your Qi and a period of rest is advisable with the colder weather.
