Zing Acupuncture

If you’re a Wellingtonian, you probably felt the chill last night! Many people notice that their joint pain worsens in colder weather.

In TCM, this is called Cold Bi (pronounced “bee”). Cold can settle in the joints, slow the flow of qi and blood, tighten muscles, increase stiffness, heaviness, and discomfort.

If you have a cold condition, you must balance it with heat. Here’s a pic of stick on moxa with acupuncture on the "Knee eyes". Moxa is used in conjunction with acupuncture to warm the joint, dispel cold, and move qi and blood, to help ease joint pain and discomfort.

My right forearm and grip strength have been a bit grumpy lately, thanks to the repetitive nature of the job! Believe it or not, but we actually do a lot of this🤌 all day!

My ECRB needs some love, so to get me through this week, I used an Ashi point on the Large Intestine Channel between LI 11 and LI 10.

Wanna check your forearm/lateral elbow? Place your forearm on a table, palm down, lift your middle finger against resistance. If your outer elbow hurts, maybe you also need a bit of acupuncture goodness.

How nice is it to have our lovely central library back! Loved the clever use of space (tables around the beams), NZ flora and fauna, and the padding on the beams. Top job! 👏

Merry Christmas whānau!

Today was my last clinic day for the year, and I’m ending it feeling deeply grateful.

“Thank you” doesn’t quite capture how much I value and appreciate every one of you, for your personality, humour, exciting life updates, baby milestones, and your client referrals. It means a great deal to be trusted as part of your care.

To the Acu gang (secret handshake 🤝), thanks for backing me and proudly rocking a very likely limited edition Zing Acupuncture hood!

Wishing everyone a restful Christmas and a healthy New Year. I’m off to rest and recharge - see you in 2026!

PS: this is what AI gave me when I asked for "A Kiwi in a Santa hat"

I love a good gadget!

Before acupuncture, I was a dental therapist, so a prepared, hygienic setup is important to me.

Thanks to that background, I still wear PPE when needling, and this UV-C steriliser gives me extra peace of mind when using my cupping and Gua Sha tools.

Shoutout to Andrea / for putting me onto this little unit! 🫧

Yesterday you saw press needles across my DIP joint. Today it's Mini moxa! 🔥

Moxa/moxibustion is a classic Traditional Chinese Medicine technique that warms and moves the body — perfect for easing cold, stiff, achy joints.

Check out my other reels to see the moxa cannons in action 🔥🔥🔥
