Cupping Therapy involves placing cups on the skin to create a vacuum effect that stimulates blood flow and energy circulation.

This natural technique helps.

Cupping therapy, involving cup placement on the skin, often leaves temporary marks known as "cupping marks." These marks offer insights into health and circulation. The color and intensity indicate blood flow; darker marks may signal blockages, while lighter ones suggest healthier circulation. Practitioners use these clues to assess and treat conditions effectively, customising therapies for better well-being.

Women’s health, fertility & pregnancy

Gynaecology has a long history in Chinese Medicine dating back to the Shang dynasty (1500-1000 BC). Today it continues to be used as a safe and effective way of managing a range of women’s health issues.

Gynaecological Issues

Menstrual issues can cause misery every month, putting life on hold. They can also be a cause of infertility and an indicator of other underlying health conditions.

Regular acupuncture can help improve the menstrual cycle, alleviate pain and increase the chances of conception. Common conditions seen in clinic are:

Painful periods

Heavy periods

Irregular periods

No periods

PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome)

Endometriosis

Fertility

Trying to conceive can be an extremely stressful time whether trying naturally or through an assisted approach such as IUI or IVF.

During this time weekly acupuncture treatments are recommended to:

Regulate the menstrual cycle and encourage ovulation

Support the development of follicles and good quality eggs

Encourage blood flow to the uterus to support implantation of the embryo

Reduce the side effects of fertility drugs

Improve sperm health (men welcome too!)

Reduce stress levels which can hinder fertility

Treatment plans are tailored to each fertility patient. Pre and post embryo transfer treatments are also recommended for IVF patients.
