Acupuncture and pregnancy.
I know that some acupuncture practitioners decline to treat during pregnancy. Whilst, in some ways, this is understandable it seems a shame because treatment can be beneficial for so many problems at this time. At a time when any expectant mum is concerned about taking medications for sickness, nausea, pain (to name just a few symptoms) a few trips to a qualified acupuncturist could be very helpful.
During my practice I have had the privilege to treatment many mums-to-be and it is wonderful to know that whilst treating mum, babe is also getting a helping hand.
If you are pregnant and have uncomfortable symptoms of one sort or another, or if you would just like to support your general health during your pregnancy, pay your acupuncturist a call.

Welcome!

Hello and thanks for visiting.
I have just opened this blog because a lot of people are coming up with really useful questions and many of these questions are being asked more than once.
Please feel free to post comments and ask further questions regarding acupuncture, or in fact any interesting information about health issues.
I will be posting interesting bits and pieces as and when they arise.

Here's one now. This is nothing to do with acupuncture but something worth checking out;
onions... if you suffer from digestive problems you might like to take onions out of you diet for a week or two. Onions can carry bacteria within their layers which can really upset the stomach. Irritable bowel problems can be eased if onions are elliminated. But be vigilant because onions can turn up in many guises in many food products.
If you suffer from IBS-type symptoms you will probably have looked at all the usual foods but may not have thought of onions.
