AcuHerbs - Acupuncture & Chinese Herbal Medicine

AcuHerbs - Acupuncture & Chinese Herbal Medicine Louise has been in practice since 1999. Louise works in general practice but has particular interes What does Acupuncture involve? along the course of a channel.

Acupuncture Is one of the best known forms of Chinese Medicine in the West. The acupuncturist inserts fine needles into points which lie along the channels where the vital energy (Qi) and blood flow, to stimulate the body’s own healing response and help restore its natural balance. There are around 500 recognised acupuncture points on the body, of which about 100 are most commonly used. Stimulation of specific areas on the skin affects the functioning of certain organs in the body. However, those areas may not be close to the part of the body where the problem is experienced. For example, although you may suffer from headaches, needles may be inserted in your foot or hand i.e. Acupuncture bears little resemblance to those needles used in injections. They are much finer and are solid rather than hollow. When a needle is inserted, the sensation is often described as a tingling or dull ache. Needles are left in place for about 20 minutes, during which time the patient may experience a heaviness in the limbs or a pleasant feeling of relaxation. Chinese Herbal Medicine is both an ancient and contemporary system of healthcare that is undergoing continual development as regards illness and disease. We use only plant substances – flowers, seeds, roots, bark and leaves. We do NOT use endangered species, or any animal or mineral product. Many herbs have well documented pharmacological properties and a wealth of modern clinical research attached to them.

Warmth that heals ❄️✨
This technique is called moxibustion - 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.

At AcuHerbs, we use moxa to help your body feel restored from the inside out. A perfect therapy for winter: https://wix.to/DV5szSQ

As we exit November, the seasonal Qi begins its descent, and the body naturally turns inward to consolidate and protect. In Chinese medicine, this is the time when the Lungs and Kidneys—our primary systems for maintaining defensive Qi—require particular attention. With external Cold and Damp on the rise, patients become more vulnerable to the common winter illnesses that so often accompany this seasonal shift. November is therefore an important moment for practitioners to guide patients in strengthening wei qi, supporting Lung function, and safeguarding the body before winter fully arrives.

Seasonal Practice Tips for Practitioners
– Encourage patients to prioritise early bedtimes to support Kidney Yang and maintain robust defensive Qi.
– Recommend gentle breathwork or short daily qigong sessions to keep Lung Qi open and circulating.
– Emphasise warming, easily digestible foods—such as congee with ginger or cinnamon—to protect the Spleen and minimise internal Damp.
– Suggest simple acupressure routines (e.g., LU7, LI4, ST36) to reinforce immunity between treatments.
– Remind patients to “dress with the season,” especially protecting the neck from Wind exposure.

My Story...

I am Louise Stevens and I practice Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal medicine at my Clinic in Weymouth (Monday, Wednesday & Thursday) & Charles Street Clinic, Dorchester (Tuesdays only)

I have completed a 3 year honours degree in Health Sciences at the University of Northumbria, followed by a 3 year honours degree in Acupuncture at the University of Westminster.

I also completed a 2 year Post Graduate Diploma in Chinese Herbal Medicine also at the University of Westminster.

Let’s talk a little bit about what acupuncture is and what does acupuncture involve.
