About Acupuncture
Chinese Medicine is a centuries-old system that treats the individual holistically, integrating the body, mind, and spirit. Enhancing natural healing abilities through acupuncture can improve various conditions. Many people seek acupuncture for specific symptoms or to relieve specific pains like osteoarthritis, nausea, digestive issues, menstrual irregularity, exhaustion, dental pain, migraines, facial rejuvenation, insomnia, and other discomforts.
This science-backed practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine creates powerful biochemical and physiological effects for both the prevention and treatment of common health conditions.
Acupuncture intends to bring the body back into homeostasis and ignite the body’s innate ability to heal. It is also a powerful tool for prevention. By activating sensory receptors and signalling nerves to transmit impulses to the brain, acupuncture creates dual biochemical and physiological effects that help ease pain, promote healing, and improve immune function.
Studies have shown that acupuncture can improve blood circulation, reduce inflammation, release pain-killing opioid neuropeptides, and help regulate hormones. It benefits the body's stress response and has a calming effect on the nervous system. Some use Chinese Medicine because they feel unwell, tired, and lethargic as an aftermath of flu, aches, and pains but have no medical diagnosis. Others choose acupuncture to enhance well-being, stamina, or even rejuvenation.
Many patients come with conditions that have not improved with allopathic medicine or symptoms that do not fit into a particular diagnosis. Since acupuncture comes from a different paradigm, it is easier to integrate these symptoms and arrive at a Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis that makes sense to the patient. Acupuncture then balances the internal organs and resources of the body, leading to the disappearance of symptoms.
One of the enemies of our Western way of life is stress. Acupuncture is extremely relaxing and also helps detoxify the body. Relaxation is essential to the good functioning of our bodies. Our bodies are amazing and have everything necessary to heal disease, but we need to allow them to function well. For this, we need relaxation and a good lifestyle. Chinese Medicine facilitates this. Many fertility issues can be resolved by helping the body eliminate stress and allowing it to function freely.
Chinese Medicine has a long history of addressing infertility, recurrent miscarriage, and other areas of fertility. In modern times, it has integrated its ancient principles of Yin and Yang with Western female physiology, resulting in an excellent understanding of this subject and how to approach it with herbal medicine and acupuncture.
The same is true regarding IVF, where well-researched protocols are used to enhance the process. Acupuncture is ideal for IVF support as it helps relaxation throughout the entire process. The best way to use Chinese Medicine together with IVF is to use it for three months before down-regulation to help the body be in its best condition, during stimulation of the follicles to enhance their growth, and during embryo transfer.
Relaxation is essential during the wait for the pregnancy test, and acupuncture helps maintain relaxation at this stage.
What Can Acupuncture Help With?
Digestive Issues: Acupuncture can help with various digestive conditions such as IBS, indigestion, bloating, nausea, constipation, heartburn, diarrhoea, and more.
Headaches & Migraines: Acupuncture may reduce the severity and frequency of migraines and headaches by alleviating tension in the upper body, improving circulation, and stimulating the body's natural pain relievers.
Anxiety & Depression: Acupuncture relaxes the body and mind by regulating the central nervous system, taking the body out of "fight or flight" mode. It may also help regulate the production of neurotransmitters and endorphins responsible for mood stabilisation.
Insomnia: Acupuncture reduces stress and helps balance essential hormones involved in the sleep-wake cycle, promoting better sleep.
Infertility: Acupuncture increases blood flow to reproductive organs, balances hormones, decreases stress, regulates the menstrual cycle, and boosts the success rates of IVF and IUI. It may also reduce the risk of miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies.
PMS & Painful Periods: Acupuncture helps balance hormones, encourages a normal menstrual flow, manages mood, and reduces cramping, breast tenderness, headaches, and other symptoms associated with the menstrual cycle.
Acne & Wrinkles: Acupuncture boosts collagen production, tightens facial muscles, decreases acne and inflammation, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles—providing a natural way to enhance beauty.
