I was browsing the headlines in the Daily Mail today and an actual interesting story caught my eye - about a Dragons Den investment in a business selling acupuncture ear seeds. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12982255/dragons-den-entrepreneur-chinese-ear-seed-therapy-chronic-fatigue-syndrome.html?ito=email_share_article-top As I practice ear acupuncture, with both needles and seeds (with excellent results), I see that it works for a range of conditions (your ear system is connected to many other organs in your body, like Kidneys). Whether this lady had full ME or a viral condition is not clear. And the comments on the story are depressingly negative - both to her and the idea that applying a sharp seed to selected points in the ear is somehow not worth trying. As the adage goes - don't knock it til you've tried it, and what have you got to lose. And of course a trained acupuncturist knows 'where' to place them (or needles) and can immediately detect changes in your body rhythms (pulse etc) when done right. I also saw a NHS brochure the other day, recommending acupuncture (NHS) for Fibromyalgia - a condition similar to ME.

Like hair dressing, facial acupuncture was one of the few treatments that had to stop completely during the lockdowns. Now we are back, and (like botox!) we can treat those wrinkles and rejuvenate skin tone with just a few well placed needles and some facial massage. If you have not considered it, as a chemical free option, then feel free to discuss it or give it a go or take a look HERE |
