TCM Acupuncture Perth

Few things feel better than a relaxing sliding cupping treatment, followed by tension releasing acupuncture for all those sore muscles.
Add a couple of calming and soothing distal points and you will be hooked on acupuncture forever ❤️

Feeling lost, indecisive, shy, or easily overwhelmed?

Then it is likely that your Gallbladder channel (GB) is out of whack.

The channel that is responsible for decision-making and determination is also very important for all kinds of physical symptoms. Just look where along the body it runs: from your eyes to your ear, down the side of your body until it reaches your ring toe.
As a result, the GB is used for a vast amount of problems:
- Emotions (suppressed emotions, timidity, indecisiveness)
- Glutes (tension, sciatica)
- Organ issues (eyes, ears, liver, gallbladder)
- TMJ (grinding/ clenching of teeth)
- Headaches (especially temporal HA, migraine)
- Joints and bones (Neck, Hip, foot). the list literally goes on and on ..

TMJ - Clenching your Teeth

Clenching or grinding your teeth is a classical stress response (Qi Stagnation); Especially when you are asleep, your body tries to – literally – chew your problems away. So, work on this Qi Stagnation!
There are some amazing local and distal acupuncture points that can help relieve that Stagnation. You can enhance that treatment with a Qi-moving herbal formula.
But also: massage your face, learn your areas of pain, put some oil on your fingertips, and gently massage your masseter muscle (the big muscle on your jaw) while slowly opening and closing your mouth. You will find several other pain points surrounding your temporomandibular joint. Losen them up regularly. Increase your exercising to release some of your pent-up energy, and drink water with lemon or apple cider vinegar.

Back Pain and Acupuncture

Do you suffer from a stabbing pain between your shoulder blades? Or a niggling sensation in your lumbar area? Back pain can take up so many different shapes and forms.

In Chinese medicine, back pain is either a stagnation of Qi (Energy) and Blood, or a deficiency. Location and type of pain, reaction to heat or cold, duration (chronic or acute pain) can tell you a lot about the origin of the problem.

(Electro-)acupuncture, cupping, sometimes moxa, and even herbal formulas can help moving that stagnation and nourish and tonify the affected area.
