• #cuppingtherapy is another form of #chinesemedicine. The cups are thought to remove pathogens such as Wind, Cold and Damp which are known as external causes of disease in Chinese Medicine. The cupping also helps Qi or Blood that is “stuck” or not moving flow freely again. Most commonly used for #musculoskeletal conditions, but also great for respiratory conditions, digestive motility and supports gynaecological conditions such as #pcos and #endometriosis Have you ever tried it!? It has been around for 1000’s of years but lots of people were only made aware of it at the 2016 Rio Olympics where athletes were seen to have strange purple marks on their back and shoulders! Gwyneth also a fan! It is actually very relaxing and feels similar to a massage. The cups come in many different forms. Here I have examples of plastic suction cups and the more traditional glass cups where the suction is created by fire 🔥. I have used very strong suction in the first picture due to level of stagnation on this patients back. The purple marks left on his back cleared up within about a week or less. With lighter suction usually the marks go within a few days.

  • 🌱 How impressive is this plant! It is pictured in the waiting area at #thesomaroom and a lovely addition to the growing plant collection in the clinic. Indoor plants not only look great but have many benefits to our mental and physical health. We are exposed to so much toxicity, even inside, from home furnishings,detergents, paints, bio-aerosols etc. However this beauty improves the air quality by trapping and capturing pollutants such as benzene and nitrogen dioxide. Plants also reduce carbon dioxide, capture dust, increase humidity and keep air temperatures down. So all in all we need more plants in our life! #indoorplants #breatheeasy #reducetoxins #acupunctureealing #plantsmakepeoplehappy

  • Anatomy drawings at #thesomaroom in my treatment space are rather cool I think! I have always been fascinated by anatomy and our bodies. There are acupuncture points all over us from the tip of our toes to the top of our head! Did you know that there are 361 acupuncture on the body? With 20 major pathways where the energy or “Qi” flows, 12 primary meridians and 8 extraordinary channels. That is not to mention all the extra points! I guess that’s why it took 4 years of study to learn! #anatomygeek #acupuncturetrivia #acupuncturerocks #acupunctureealing #energyhealing

  • It has been a brilliant week to make the most of the sun and soak up the Vitamin D in the UK when we usually get so little in February!🌞 Vitamin D is such an important vitamin for bone-health, muscle-strength, coordination, cardiovascular health, and balanced immune function amongst other things. For those trying to conceive it is vital for both male and female fertility, and to reduce the risk of miscarriage by modulating immune function and oxidative stress. It is also vital in pregnancy for maternal and infant health. Most of us in the UK need to supplement ourselves with extra Vit D3 with 1/5 of us being severely deficient. We need to continue to maintain our levels as Vit D only lasts in the body for 3 weeks so sadly the levels I enjoyed in Australia must be long gone! #keepupyourVitD3 #acupunctureeasthorsley #acupunctureealing #acupuncturechiswick #fertilityacupuncture #pregnancyacupuncture #reproductiveimmunology #miscarriageawareness #healthyimmunesystem #calmdown #relaxwithacupuncture

  • My soup-per healthy lunch! One of the joys of working at The Hogarth is I get this level of quality nutrition @crucialfood . This pumpkin soup is beautifully warming with hints of ginger and chilli to give it that extra kick, and pumpkin seeds for the extra omega boost! I always ask for rye bread as I like to avoid wheat. Now is the time to eat lots of pumpkin 🎃. Great for blood circulation, cold, damp and phlegm, so easy on our digestion and fertility friendly! #foodenergetics #warmlunchesarebest #acupuncturechiswick #fertilityacupuncture #eat-seasonally #digestivehealth #healthyeating

  • I think we could all agree that this autumn in England has been spectacular! 🍁🍁🍁 It has certainly made the transition from summer to autumn easier for me which I often struggle with as we enter shorter days and darker nights. Each week I see the leaves changing colour and I feel a sense that I must get out and take it all in before it goes, last weekend achieved on horseback 🐴😃 In Five Element acupuncture we are now in the time of Metal where one might feel their energy beginning to descend, an urge to let go of things, a desire for quietude. It’s a good time to listen to your body, rug up and rest when possible especially as we become more vulnerable to coughs and colds. Acupuncture can help strengthen your immunity, along with helping one adjust to this seasonal shift. So come along and see me at one of my 3 clinics if you feel like a little autumn boost #immunityboost #acupunctureeasthorsley #acupunctureealing #acupuncturechiswick #seasonalshift #calmdown #restandrestore #takeintheqi #lettinggo #appreciatingautumn #fiveelementacupuncture

  • Had a great day yesterday at #thefertilityshow listening to fantastic speakers. I have heard from patients and colleagues that #drmarilynglenville was excellent...she did not disappoint! Good nutrition for at least 3 months in the lead up to conception is so important for both women and men. We say the same timeframe for acupuncture. Fantasic research presented in her talk. Very inspiring to see just how much can be done with lifestyle in a relatively short timeframe. #fertilitynutrition #miscarriagesupport #reproductiveimmunology #femalefertility #malefertility #ittakestwo #pcosnutrition #endometriosis #fertilityacupuncture #nationalfertilityawarenessweek #fertilitynetworkuk #acupunctureeasthorsley #acupunctureealing #acupuncturechiswick

Can’t wait to get my home practice in Surrey up and running after a few delays with final tweaks to house... hoping to announce this very soon!

  • How are we all doing first week back at work and first week of JANUARY? If you have been lucky enough to avoid the lurgy going round then well done! Sadly that's not the case in our household but I am finding homemade tumeric, lemon, ginger and cayenne tea is definitely the way forward! Acupuncture can also be fantastic for giving the immune system a boost, along with a January lift, and help you fend off the bugs especially when we are more prone in windy, cold and damp weather. If your cold has already set in, acupuncture can also help speed up your recovery, along with REST and rugging up. I will listen to my own advice! #acupunctureheals #tumerictea #immuneboost #homeremedies #antinflammatory #preventionisbetterthancure #rest #hemsleyhemsley

  • This week has been a busy week of burning moxa as most of us are finding the weather out there particularly chilly! ❄️❄️❄️ Moxa is perfect for those who have a cold constitution, as well as being wonderful to strengthen the qi and nourish the blood. I love to use direct moxa where I warm up the point first with moxa, then the needle takes the heat into the point having a stimulating effect on the patients qi. When appropriate, moxa can be used for a number of conditions, from digestive to musculoskeletal, emotional wellbeing, fertility support, and is fantastic after childbirth to warm the mother and replenish her energy and blood. #moxibustion #moxa #qibuilding #acupuncture #fiveelementacupuncture #fertilitysupport #digestivecare #muscleaches #postnatalsupport #healthandwellness #nourishingtraditions #chinesemedicine

  • Friday night in, and it's freezing in London! Thought I would make a beetroot and swede soup. The soup not only tastes delicious but it has a number of energetic qualities. The beetroot tonifies blood (iron rich) regulates qi circulation and counteracts cold. Admittedly I often shy away from swede but as it came in my veggie box this week I thought let's see what I can do. Swede has a sweet/bitter/pungent flavour and neutral temperature, therefore it is great for digestion, it also tonifies blood, moves qi and blood, plus it clears damp and phelgm! So you can't go wrong in my book. A great alternative from potato. My hubby came home to this and he actually likes it, despite how healthy it is! For flavour I also sautéed some onion and added vegetable stock, salt and pepper to taste and garnished with parsley and natural sheeps yoghurt. #wintspiration #rootveggies #abelandcole #eatseaonally #organicveggies #fridaynightin #foodenergetics #beetrootswedesoup #winterwarmingsoup #fertilityfriendly #antiinflammatory #immuneboosting #foodismedicine #chinesemedicine
