🌸 BE PROUD OF YOUR PERIODS 🌸

Beautiful periods are not something to be embarrassed about.
They are often among the clearest signs of overall health, hormonal balance, and wellbeing.

When your cycle is working well, life flows more easily.
More energy. Better mood. Better sleep. Clearer skin. Better focus. Less pain. More confidence to simply get on with your life.

Healthy periods can also be an important reflection of:
✨ Fertility and ovulation health
✨ Hormonal balance
✨ PMS and emotional wellbeing
✨ Perimenopause support and transition
✨ Stress levels and nervous system balance

Many women grow up believing painful, exhausting or unpredictable periods are “normal”. They may be common, but they are often signs the body needs support.

At One Acupuncture®, I regularly support women with:

• Painful or heavy periods
• Irregular cycles
• PMS and mood changes
• Fertility and IVF support
• Fatigue and hormonal imbalance
• Perimenopause and midlife transition

Using Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, treatment focuses on restoring balance at the root cause level, not simply masking symptoms.

✨ Healthy periods. Happier you.
✨ Be Proud. Be Powerful. Be You.

Seeing so many lingering spring COUGHS and post-viral
CHEST SYMPTOMS in clinic right now.

This is actually one of the herbal formulas I use myself, my family use, and many of my patients regularly keep in the cupboard at home, especially for those lingering “can’t quite shift it” coughs, throat irritation, mucus or chest tightness that can hang around after a virus.

Stress can also play a role in these patterns, which is one reason I find this formula so helpful clinically.

You can find more details over on the VitaliQi clinic page below and orders can be placed there too and posted to you 🌿

Spring cough lingering? 🌿

This season, we are seeing a lot of persistent post-viral coughs, chest irritation, throat tickles and lingering mucus that seem to hang on long after the initial illness has passed.

Ban Xia Hou Pu Tang is a traditional herbal formula often used to support the lungs and throat when there is:

✔ Persistent cough or throat irritation
✔ Sensation of mucus or something “stuck” in the throat
✔ Chest tightness or wheezing
✔ Post-viral lingering symptoms
✔ Stress aggravating cough symptoms

Many people find they only need support for a short period, especially when started early.

Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Available from our Herbal Medicine Pharmacy at VitaliQi in Barnstaple, or simply order online.

This one stopped me in my tracks.

I’ve just realised that One Acupuncture® was awarded the WhatClinic Patient Service Award 2025… and I hadn’t even seen it.

We didn’t apply for it, and I didn’t know we were being assessed.

It’s an independent award based entirely on patient feedback and experience, looking at how a clinic supports people from first enquiry through to aftercare.

So to discover this now, quietly sitting there, feels really special.

Because the clinic has always been built on taking time, listening properly, and supporting each person through what they’re dealing with, not rushing, not treating symptoms in isolation, but looking at the whole picture.

Thank you to everyone who has come in, often not feeling your best, and allowed me to support you through it, and for sharing your experience and recommending me to others. That’s what this reflects.

If you’ve been thinking about starting acupuncture or coming back in, you’re always very welcome.

CHINESE lunar New Year beckons. We are now in the window of transition between the last year of a nine year cycle ..the Yin Wood Snake 🐍, which was definitely a challenge, with shedding of the old and redundant to male way for the emerging new nine year cycle, starting with the Yang Fire Horse 🔥.

More on all this in the coming days as we head towards 17 Feb, but suffice to say The Year of Horse appearing everywhere!

I've been in Bahamas and then Dubai for a couple of weeks, both for "work" and (self) development.

Been an extra-ordinary time of self-reflection and renewal and does feel like I've been away for 2 years, not 2 weeks.

Looking forward to bringing some rays of ☀️ and positive energy back to North Devon and returning to a full clinic.

As always, I offer free confidential chats so if you are struggling with any issues you would like help with...body, mind or both...please get in touch. I am here to help and to help others live life well.

Food as Medicine – a timely reminder

I may have first shared this soup back in winter 2018, but with so much lurgy around, and that lingering post-viral fatigue many people are still feeling, it feels more relevant than ever.

This is a simple reminder of the power of good FOOD as MEDICINE.

In Chinese medicine:

🫚 Ginger gently warms the digestion and supports the Spleen system, helping your body transform food into energy and resilience.

🧄 Garlic powerfully supports the Lung system, our frontline defence when it comes to immunity and recovery.

Together, the Spleen and Lung form the Tai Yin in Classical Chinese Medicine, the foundation of strong immunity, vitality and recovery after illness.

This nourishing soup is one of my go-to recommendations when you feel run down, are fighting something off, or want to support your body naturally during the colder months.

Sometimes the most effective medicine really does start in the kitchen.

✨ Warm
✨ Simple
✨ Deeply supportive

If you’d like personalised advice on using food and Chinese medicine to support your health and immunity, I’d be very happy to help.

FERTILITY ACUPUNCTURE

✨ Thinking about IVF? How acupuncture might support your journey ✨

We have been featured as the go-to expert on acupuncture and IVF in a Best Fertility Now article

https://igooba.com/blog/2021/06/28/acupuncture-for-ivf-we-went-straight-to-the-expert-for-answers/

If you’re going through IVF or preparing for it, you’ve probably heard lots of different opinions. Research shows some acupuncture protocols may:

🌿 reduce stress and anxiety, helping you feel calmer during treatment
🌿 improve blood flow to reproductive organs, creating a more supportive environment for implantation
🌿 enhance overall wellbeing on your fertility journey

Evidence suggests acupuncture may have benefits around embryo transfer and emotional support, though results vary and research is ongoing.

What is increasingly supported in clinical research is the value of a whole systems acupuncture approach, rather than just acupuncture at the time of embryo transfer alone.

Whole systems acupuncture looks at the body as an integrated whole, supporting hormonal regulation, cycle quality, blood flow, stress response, digestion, sleep and emotional wellbeing over time. Research indicates outcomes may be optimised when acupuncture begins ideally three months or more before planned IVF, allowing time to support egg quality, uterine receptivity and overall physiological balance ahead of treatment.

That’s where a tailored fertility acupuncture plan matters.

As a fertility-focused Acupuncturist with postgraduate specialist training and over fourteen years of helping couples trying for a family, I combine ancient wisdom with modern understanding to support:

- IVF cycles, ideally beginning three months or more in advance

- preparation before, during and after embryo transfer

- stress and emotional balance during treatment

- general reproductive health preparation
