Chronic Fatigue is a debilitating condition that has a massive impact on many people’s lives.

Brain fog, lack of energy and motivation, unable to get out of bed, needing to nap during the day which can be compounded by not being able to sleep at night are all symptoms of chronic fatigue.

In many cases, Chronic Fatigue is seen as a condition that has to be managed, or lived with as there is often no medical cause or cure.

And alarmingly, the numbers of people affected seems to still be on the rise with almost 1.5% of the population and twice as many women as men affected. I have been treating more people this year for Chronic Fatigue than ever before.

However, in the eyes of Acupuncturists, Chronic Fatigue is a symptom of an underlying imbalance within the body and can often be helped if not overcome with correct treatment. What’s more, Summer is the most energy abundant season making it a great time to get a pep back in the step.

The ebb and flow of Qi in the body is affected, as if a sea is no longer affected by the moon and has no tide. A course of acupuncture treatment helps re-establish the correct ebb and flow providing better energy during the day and restful sleep at night.

Suffering with Chronic Fatigue? Get in touch today and talk to me today about how acupuncture can help. I can be reached at rory@roryryanacupuncture.ie or 0864059898

Another patient came in for her fifth appointment yesterday. There was a noticeable spring in her step and I knew why. After two years of trying different treatments and prescriptions she was able to tell me that her symptoms had not occurred in the last week.

The next step with this patient is to increase the interval between appointments to keep the body's healing on track and switch from intervention to maintenance treatment.

The joy I get from helping people lead healthier, happier lives is why I became an acupuncturist.

Anxiety, Restlessness, Agitation, Panic, Indecisiveness, Hypersensitivity, Depression, Detachment, disjointedness, incoordination, physical or emotional imbalance…

These are all signs that we need to take better care of our fire element.

And summer, the season of the fire element is a great time to bring it back into alignment.

Acupuncture can help the Heart feel abundant, allow the Small Intestine to sort food and emotion, helps the Pericardium protect the Heart and aids the Triple Energiser (yes, it’s an organ in TCM) harmonise and balance.

Ready to take in the full benefits of summer? Book an acupuncture session today…

Are Strawberries the Ultimate Summer Food?

Chinese Medicine teaches us that strawberries have a cooling quality – ideal for long warm summer days.

Red is the colour associated with the fire element and the Heart, Small Intestine, Pericardium and Triple Energiser (yes, Chinese medicine sees the Pericardium as an organ and the Triple Energiser is an organ that encompasses the water passageways from the top to the bottom of the torso).

They strengthen the Spleen. Having a desire for sweet snacks, lassitude and low energy, overthinking and worry, teeth marks on the sides of the tongue are all signs that the spleen Qi is low. These sweet, juicy fruits are one way to combat all that.

Antioxidants (flavonoids or anthocyanins) contained in strawberries are thought to help fight cancer and help prevent stroke.

Strawberries can help boost the Water Element (Kidney) . Manganese in strawberries can contribute to bone strength and clearer skin. Chinese Medicine teaches that the Water Element nourishes the marrow so contributes to better cognitive function and a healthy nervous system.

Strawberries have a low GI index (41) and good fibre content so can help regulate blood sugar levels.

Strawberries have very high vitamin C levels so contribute to a strong immune system.

Strawberries are ripening in Ireland now, so have a minimal carbon footprint.

Sweet, Cooling, Seasonal, Local, Delicious – what’s not to love?

This time of year, the Wood energy of the Spring starts to give way to the Fire energy of the Summer.

Like a campfire, if we are abundant in wood then our fire element can burn brightly in the coming months. We will be ready for the excitement and activity of the months ahead.

Those that lack a sufficient store of wood are probably already feeling low and maybe even without plans. Left unchecked, this can turn into dispassion, joylessness and lethargy over the summer months.

Of course acupuncture can help. Depending on the individual, acupuncture can be used to replenish the stores or remove the blockages that allow one energy to smoothly change into another.

Book an appointment today to get your summer off to a great start…
