LISTEN TO THOSE MINI ALARMS IN YOUR BODY AND GET HELP!
There are often times in ones life when you just don’t feel up to doing what is usually a normal routine. You can feel a bit of, under the weather and tired. But, you just cannot put your finger on it. Sometimes it gets to the point where you make an appointment or 2 or 3 with your GP to say that you are not feeling well. However, fortunately for you, all is well with you in their eyes and there are no alarm bells ringing. Your bloods are good, Bp good, heart rate etc… are all within normal parameters. So you go away equipped with advice on stop the caffeine, exercise, eat a bit healthier, dose up on the pharmaton and all will be well soon. But, soon comes along and you are still flat. Life isn’t what it used to be and the feeling is I am a bit off, maybe achey, moody, fatigued etc…Really your’ vavavoom ‘has disappeared. So what do you do and where do you go to change this cycle?
This is where acupuncture has been recently proven to help! There are lists of vague symptoms that western medicine cannot explain nor cure that TCM is very effective at resolving.
In short, the TCM perspective on health is all about Balance.Often early stages of being out of balance manifests itself as everyday niggling uncomfortable symptoms such as bowel irregularities like constipation, or bloatedness, vague pain, tiredness,headache, irritability, just to mention a few. As an acupuncturist I consider these as mini alarms which are saying that something energetically is stuck, so you feel of. But, in comparison when your energy or qi is flowing smoothly, it allows you to function well daily. In my experience ,if you seek treatment when these minor signals flare then acupuncture can bring you back on track fairly fast and in essence preform its real strength. That is, prevent any further deterioration physically and emotionally speaking.
To lighten this up I would like to paraphrase someone who came to me worried about not feeling great. He complained of tiredness and irritability but all was well medically speaking. After 4 sessions of acupuncture he came back to me and said his energy was great! Getting out of bed was easy now but the thing that really struck him was he was no longer shouting at other drivers during his daily commute to Dublin for work!! Does that ring a bell for a few of us?! Another lady came back after a few sessions for vague symptoms especially fatigue and lassititude, and said that not only was she rested and calm but she cleaned her windows herself for the first time in months plus she baked a cake! To be able and want to do that was a big improvement for her in months. And the mother with three young children who found herself tolerating less and less and feeling an overwhelmingly sense of frustration and guilt, was feeling anxious and suffering palpitations but was told medically she was ok reported back after a few sessions of acupuncture that she calmed down significantly and her normal everyday was no longer like a warzone! And all her feelings of unease had gone.
I don’t want to make light of results but we are all hit with times when we are out of kilter physically and /or emotionally for no explained reason . Now, It is great to know that there is clinical evidence backing up our claims that acupuncture can help these medically unexplained symptoms and that it is a safe and effective way to improve the wellbeing and quality of life of someone feeling of.
