As winter sets in across New Zealand, many people living with chronic conditions notice a decline in their overall health and energy. At Auckland eastMed Acupuncture in St Heliers, we understand how the colder months can impact your body. Whether you’re managing arthritis, fatigue, fibromyalgia, respiratory illness, anxiety, or autoimmune disorders, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and acupuncture offer powerful, natural tools to help you feel stronger, more balanced, and supported through the winter season.

🌿 Why Winter Makes Chronic Illness Worse
Winter brings cold, damp air, shorter days, and lower immunity — all of which can worsen chronic symptoms. From a TCM perspective, winter is ruled by the Water element and associated with the Kidneys, which store vital energy. It’s a time when the body needs rest, warmth, and nourishment.
Common winter complaints we help at our clinic include:
Increased joint pain and stiffness (e.g., arthritis, back pain)
Low energy and winter fatigue
Poor sleep and low mood
More frequent colds, flu, and chest infections
Asthma and respiratory issues aggravated by cold air

🔸 How Acupuncture Can Help
At Auckland eastMed Acupuncture, we tailor your treatments to relieve winter symptoms and build resilience. Our gentle, evidence-based acupuncture sessions may help:
✅ Relieve Pain & Stiffness
Winter cold restricts circulation and increases inflammation. Acupuncture boosts blood flow, warms the body, and reduces pain naturally — especially in joints and muscles.
✅ Strengthen Immunity
Acupuncture has been shown to regulate the immune system, reduce inflammation, and improve resistance to viruses and infections — vital for those with weak lungs or autoimmune conditions.
✅ Improve Sleep & Mood
Feeling anxious or down? Acupuncture promotes relaxation, better sleep, and emotional balance by calming the nervous system.
✅ Support Respiratory Health
We often support patients with asthma, sinusitis, or post-cold fatigue. Acupuncture and moxibustion help open the lungs, clear phlegm, and ease breathing.

🌱 Herbal Medicine for Winter Support
We also provide custom Chinese herbal prescriptions to support your body’s deeper needs:
Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan: to warm Kidney Yang and support energy
Suan Zao Ren Tang: to improve sleep and calm the mind
Yu Ping Feng San: to boost Wei Qi (defensive energy) and prevent illness
Huang Qi (Astragali Radix) & Di huang (Rehmannia) formulas: for immune and adrenal support
All herbs are dispensed by qualified practitioners and carefully matched to your condition.

🥣 Winter Wellness Tips from Our Clinic
To stay strong and well this winter, we recommend:
✅ Eat warming, cooked foods: congee, bone or chicken broths, stews, and herbs like ginger and cinnamon
✅ Get more rest: winter is a season of stillness; allow your body to recharge
✅ Dress warmly: especially your lower back, neck, and feet to protect Yang (heat) energy
✅ Gentle movement: tai chi, walking, stretching — keep Qi moving without draining your reserves

🎁 Winter Specials at Auckland eastMed Acupuncture
To support your winter health journey, we’re offering:
🌿 Winter Reset Session – Acupuncture + Moxibustion
🌿 Custom Herbal Consult – Tailored immune & energy tonic
🌿 Wellness Package – 4 Acupuncture + 1 Herbal Consult (Save 15%)

Effects of Acupuncture and Moxibustion on Heart Rate Variability in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Patients: Regulating the Autonomic Nervous System in a Clinical Randomized Controlled Trial
📣 NEW post - read the the full paper and join the discussion on the EBA Forum

www.evidencebasedacupuncture.org/forum

Results:
The results showed that both acupuncture and moxibustion can effectively alleviate fatigue symptoms in patients suffering from CFS, with combined acupuncture and moxibustion demonstrating greater effectiveness.

Conclusion:
Acupuncture excelled in regulating the immediate effects of HRV, while moxibustion excelled in regulating long-term effects. Acupuncture targeting both the Zusanli and Guanyuan points proved more effective than acupuncture targeting a single point, with this difference reflected in the distinct regulatory effects on the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The intervention mechanism of Zusanli may involve the parasympathetic nervous system, whereas Guanyuan may operate through the sympathetic nervous system.

🔥 "I used to wake up tired. No matter how much I slept, my energy was always drained. My body ached, my mind felt foggy, and even simple tasks felt exhausting..."
💡 Does this sound familiar? If you're experiencing chronic fatigue, you're not alone. Many of our patients come to us after struggling with low energy, stress, and exhaustion that just won’t go away.
🌿 At Auckland eastMed acupuncture, we take a different approach. Instead of just masking symptoms, Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) work to rebalance your body and restore your natural energy.
✨ How does TCM help?

🔬 Science backs it up! Research shows acupuncture and herbal medicine help improve fatigue, sleep, and mental clarity.

Struggling to conceive without a clear reason? You’re not alone. Unexplained infertility affects 10-30% of couples trying to conceive, especially women over 35. It’s a frustrating diagnosis, but there’s hope!
🔍 What is Unexplained Infertility?
Unexplained infertility means no specific cause is found after thorough medical evaluations. Potential contributing factors include:
• Hormonal imbalances
• Ovulatory dysfunction,
• Endometriosis or other reproductive disorders
• Fallopian tube issues
• Lifestyle factors (stress, diet, weight)
• S***m quality or immune system issues

💡 Treatment Options in Western Medicine
• Fertility drugs to stimulate ovulation
• Intrauterine insemination (IUI)
• In vitro fertilization (IVF)
• Intracytoplasmic S***m Injection (ICSI)
• Surgery to correcting anatomical issues
• Lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, stress management)

🌿 How Does TCM View Unexplained Infertility?
Traditional Chinese Medicine sees infertility as a sign of internal imbalances. Key perspectives include:
• Qi and Blood Stagnation: Blocked energy flow affecting reproductive health.
• Kidney Deficiency: Weakness in the foundation of reproductive energy.
• Liver Qi Stagnation: Stress or emotional issues disrupting menstrual cycles.
• Blood Deficiency or Stasis: Poor nourishment of reproductive organs.

✨ How Can TCM Help?
TCM offers a holistic approach to address these imbalances through:
• Acupuncture: Improves blood flow, regulates cycles, and reduces stress.
• Herbal Medicine: Tailored formulas to support reproductive health.
• Dietary Therapy: Nourishes the body and balances hormones.
• Lifestyle Modifications: Stress reduction and gentle exercise.

📊 What Does the Research Say?
Studies show TCM, especially acupuncture, can:
• Improve pregnancy and live birth rates in IVF patients.
• Enhance ovarian function and regulate menstrual cycles.
• Reduce stress and anxiety, which are often linked to infertility.

💬 Your Next Step
If you’re struggling with unexplained infertility, TCM may be the missing piece in your journey. At Auckland EastMed Acupuncture, we specialize in fertility and women’s health, offering personalized care to support your path to conception.
