Acupuncture for Oligomenorrhoea - Case 1

April 25, 2012

26-year-old Katrina had been on contraceptive pills for a number of years until 2010, when she wanted to start a family. But after stop taking the pills she only had two irregular periods in a whole year, which made the conception impossible. One of her friends who had successful fertility treatment from me suggested she come to try acupuncture. Apart from the period problem, Katrina's general health was very good, so I decided to give her a simple treatment and only four acupuncture points on her lower back were used. A few weeks later she came back and told me that she just started a period a few days ago, which was 6 weeks after the previous one. After the second session she didn't come back because her next period was back to normal cycle. A year later I saw Katrina on the street pushing her new-born baby in a buggy.

Her ear pain was dramatically easier the next day, and she wa...

I met Mrs Howard when I was working in a GP's surgery in Carlisle in 2002. This 67-year-old lady had had trigeminal neuralgia for 3 months and been seeing her doctor at the surgery. She was having a sharp pain in her right jaw and it was so bad that any touch to the inside or outside of her mouth could trigger it. Eating, drinking, brushing teeth and washing face were all agony even cold wind could make it worse. As the strong pain killers prescribed by the doctor weren't helping much, she de...

January 6, 2012

Angela started having a bad cough one and a half years ago. She also had breathlessness and often brought up phlegm. The symptoms were worse when she went upstairs or rushed around. These made 35 year-old her feel like an old lady. X-ray and blood tests didn't show anything positive so the doctor couldn’t make a diagnosis. She had been given antibiotics and several other medications, which didn’t help. Recently she had been trying homeopathic remedy and it didn’t seem to be helpful eith...
