What brought them to us
C. had been gaining weight despite a diet she considered healthy, alongside digestive irregularity, fluctuating cycles, hair loss and chronic tension through her neck and shoulders. She wanted an explanation that connected these things rather than addressing each on its own.
What we arranged
We coordinated a comprehensive consultation in English. It included tongue and pulse diagnosis, a recommended course of acupuncture targeting the liver and spleen channels, post-treatment ear acupressure, guidance for home moxibustion, and an in-depth conversation covering exercise, supplements, alcohol and emotional wellbeing.
What happened
C. received a TCM reading that connected her symptoms to liver qi stagnation and spleen-related dampness, and learned how stress and lifestyle patterns fed into her digestion and hormonal balance. She left with a personalised acupuncture plan, ear seeds for self-care between sessions, and specific dietary and exercise adjustments.
In their words
It's not how to cure the symptom.
