What Does Acupuncture Really Feel Like?
From Constant Cough to Comfort: A 60-Year-Old Woman’s Journey
A 60-year-old woman had been struggling with a persistent dry cough for over a month. Speaking, poor air quality, and lying down at night made it worse, leaving her exhausted and disrupting sleep. Previous remedies offered little relief.
At our clinic, a TCM assessment revealed Lung Yin deficiency with dryness and impaired Lung Qi descending, causing the irritating cough.
A personalized treatment plan of herbal medicine and acupuncture was designed to nourish Yin, moisten the Lung, and restore balance.
After just one week, her cough disappeared. Sleep improved, lung function returned to normal, and she could finally breathe and rest comfortably again.
This case shows how a targeted, holistic approach can quickly relieve chronic cough and restore quality of life.
Restoring Hormonal Harmony
A Personalised Approach to PCOS and Uterine Fibroids
A 40-year-old woman came to our clinic after years of navigating the challenges of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and uterine fibroids. Her monthly cycle had become something she endured rather than trusted. In the days before menstruation, she experienced significant lower abdominal pain, heavy and prolonged bleeding, and noticeable weight fluctuations. Over time, her energy declined and her focus suffered.
Although she had tried several treatment options, relief was temporary. She ultimately sought a more considered, whole-person approach that addressed the underlying imbalance rather than isolated symptoms.
A Deeper Understanding
From a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, her presentation reflected an internal pattern of:
- Qi stagnation with Blood stasis
- Liver Qi stagnation
- Kidney Qi deficiency
Such imbalances may influence hormonal regulation, pelvic circulation, and the natural rhythm of the menstrual cycle. Rather than treating each symptom in isolation, our aim was to restore coherence within the body’s regulatory systems — supporting its capacity to recalibrate and stabilise.
A Tailored Treatment Plan
Her programme was carefully individualised and refined over time, incorporating:
- Targeted acupuncture, including scalp techniques to support neuroendocrine balance and modulate pain
- Customised herbal medicine, designed to ease constraint, improve circulation, nourish foundational energy, and regulate the menstrual cycle
Treatment progressed in alignment with her body’s response, ensuring precision and attentiveness at each stage.
Clinical Progress
After two months of consistent care:
- Premenstrual abdominal pain reduced by approximately 80%
- Cyclical weight fluctuations stabilised
- Menstrual flow improved
- Energy levels and mental clarity were restored
Most notably, she described feeling “steady again” — no longer bracing herself each month, but experiencing her cycle with greater ease and confidence.
Complex hormonal conditions require nuance, patience, and individualisation.
With thoughtful, integrative care, meaningful change is possible.
If you are experiencing persistent menstrual discomfort or hormonal instability, we welcome you to arrange a comprehensive consultation.
