🍃 Spring is the season of the Wood 🌲 element in 5 Element theory, with three distinct stages, and an overlap with Chinese astrology:
February (Yin, tiger)…. Natures revival after winter, March (Mao, hare/rabbit)…. Natures expansion and rapid growth, and April (Chen, dragon)….. nature’s continued growth and increasing warmth in the Earth.

🐅 🐇 🐉

It is a time of new beginnings, plans and growth, and in nature we see buds and shoots, then growth and expansion, branches growing and flowers blooming and animals being born. 🐥

🪵 Healthy wood energy means clarity, focus, drive, healthy eyes and muscles.
Unhealthy Wood energy can bring indecisiveness, feeling stuck, anger, digestive problems like bloating, migraines, menstrual issues and sinus problems.

🌺 5 element acupuncture can help many of these issues and move that stuck energy. ✨

Ear acupuncture is an amazing system in itself.
The NADA protocol uses 5 points in each ear and can be beneficial for relaxation, anxiety and insomnia. For some this is a preferred alternative to body acupuncture.

🌳 Hayfever is already affecting some clients and many return to reduce their symptoms and feel the benefits of acupuncture year after year. 🌺

Some clients come for regular treatment even though their initial problem has been resolved; they find its holistic nature tackles a wide variety of issues:

“When experiencing severe pain from an undiagnosed benign tumour, I tried numerous treatments, but found that acupuncture provided the most effective pain relief. Combined with Rachel’s calm and caring approach, acupuncture also helped with post-operative recovery. Since then, I have returned to Rachel on a number of occasions to address other issues, including pain from a sore hip as well as hay fever symptoms. Her treatments have always been of considerable benefit to me.”

‘It is time for the regulation of acupuncture practice in the UK, and for acupuncturists to take their place as Allied Health Professionals.’
We need to regulate acupuncture to ensure it’s safe and people are fully qualified to practice.
