How Do You Know If Your Period is 'Normal'?

Mention to a friend that your unbearable period pain and it’s not unusual to be met with a response like ‘me too’ or ‘I have some painkillers if you need them’.

If you were experiencing multiple days of pain in any other part of your body - your abdomen, your leg or head - you would be promptly seeking help to get to the bottom of it.

Period pain, on the other hand, tends to be brushed aside with a dose of over-the-counter pain medication, a hot water bottle or a prescription for an oral contraceptive pill.

While acupuncture may not be for everyone, it is an often-unexplored pathway to a healthier menstrual cycle and body. It is important to be educated about alternative options to conventional medical approaches to women’s health.

9 Reasons Why Stress Is Not Anxiety

One of the biggest misconceptions about anxiety is that anxiety is stress and stress is anxiety. Stress and anxiety are actually two completely separate things. It’s important to understand these differences so that you can effectively treat your anxiety symptoms in a targeted way.

How to Sail through Menopause

The change’, ‘the time of life’ – call it what you will, it is an unavoidable fact that all women go through menopause. However, for many women this natural process is a time of anxiety and distress due to the various symptoms that can accompany it. Some menopausal changes can also be brought about by treatments for cancer, including chemotherapy, ovarian ablation and hormone therapy. What can acupuncture and Chinese medicine do to help you sail through this transition with energy and vitality.

One Little Imbalance Was Stopping Naomi From Falling Pregnant

If you’ve had all the tests, and nobody’s yet found a reason … it can be extremely frustrating and demoralising.

Sometimes we never know exactly why things happen the way they do. Sometimes things just can’t be explained by scientific tests.

This is where I go back to trusting nature - to sticking to what we know works, and getting back to simply supporting nature’s incredible, unfathomable power.

People often go in circles for months – years even – looking for a specific reason why they can’t get pregnant. Saliva tests, urine tests, blood tests, nutrient tests, food-allergy tests – and still no baby, no pregnancy.

How Debbie Conceived Despite Low AMH

AMH, if you’re unfamiliar, supposedly tests your ovarian reserve to predict your fertility potential. Without digging into why I think this test is extremely questionable (and therefore certainly not something I see as a defining result), I see women’s AMH results dramatically improve after following a few simple steps which we will dig into here today. That tells me one of two things – either we are not born with all of our eggs (I think likely since every other cell in our body has the ability to replicate) OR this test isn’t accurate. Whatever the reason, it doesn’t really matter. Let’s just improve your hormones as much as possible and maximise your fertility on the whole to set you up for your best possible outcome.
