Chinese herbal remedies can help babies be born safely

Chinese herbal remedies can help babies be born safely

A Chinese remedy for breech births which involves burning a herb at the toe of a pregnant woman actually works, clinical tests have shown.

A study by Italian obstetrician and acupuncturist Dr Francesco Cardini found that the remedy, known as moxibustion, was successful in preventing breech births.

A study of 130 women, using ultrasound tests, found that moxibustion worked in 75% of cases, compared with 48% of babies who got no treatment. Read more »

Acupuncture for male infertility

By Julie Neal

Abstract

This paper looks at the research into the effect of acupuncture on sperm parameters. To date little acupuncture research has been done in this area and even less to a good clinical research standard. Infertility is a growing problem and there is little available treatment, so research into a possible treatment is an important area. Thirteen papers were found on the subject of acupuncture and male infertility, all of which had a very positive outcome. Three of these papers were of better but still varying clinical research standard and this paper concentrates on them. These papers showed that motility, density and vitality were all encouraged with acupuncture. Gerhard (1992) found particularly good effect in younger men, non smokers and varicocele carriers. Whereas Siterman (1997 and 2000) found azoospermia and genital tract inflammation had the best results. These results are encouraging and hopefully will lead to further studies to validate these findings and move forward the understanding the role acupuncture could have in treating male infertility.

Having been diagnosed with unexplained infertility I went for treatment with Daian. She made me feel at ease straight away and gave me support and advice alongside the weekly acupuncture sessions. Three months later I discovered I was pregnant (without any other interventions). We welcomed our baby into the world almost 11 months to the day after my first visit to Daian. I really believe it would not have been possible without her!I remain a regular client and I can’t recommend Daian highly enough.

Daian is an extremely talented and caring professional and I cannot say enough about how helpful and effective her treatments have been. I highly recommend a visit here if you are thinking about acupuncture. The atmosphere is peaceful and calming and Daian’s highly effective skills and treatment provides welcome relief from chronic pain in a calm in a restful environment.

It was an incredible experience and I would like to call it “magic”! I had not been able to sleep well for several months, and my whole body felt hard when I lied in bed, especially the neck and shoulders. Daian found a little lump on the back of my neck at the consultation . 30 minutes of acupuncture after, I immediately felt my neck relaxed. I did it again two days later, and the lump just disappeared! I went to sleep easily for the first time in months! Thank you, Daian! Thank you, the wonderful Chinese medical treatment!!

I have been going to Daian for treatment for many years now. She is a kind and compassionate lady who is also very accomplished in Acupuncture. I have suffered with severe Vertigo for many years, having had medication, exercises etc to no avail. Having treatment with Daian has completely changed my life - I very seldom have symptoms now, thanks to acupuncture but, if it flares up, a visit to the clinic soon settles it down again. My husband has also recently started to attend her clinic to have treatment for migraines and this, also, has been very successful. I would recommend Dr Daian Zou highly.

What Our Patients Say

  • ~ Wow what a difference it has made – Ron, Shrewsbury

    "Published in 'AS News - Spring 2016'.  After much thought and a little research, I decided to give acupuncture a chance. Wow what a difference it has made. I'm unsure of the total effect on pain relief but it has had an immense impact on my overall sense of body relaxation and physical and mental well being. In Autumn 2015 after a little additional neck pain, my acupuncturist massaged my neck following my acupuncture session. She then explained she did also offer acupressure massage. After just three sessions I am wholly committed to this. The effect on my neck and shoulders has been amazing plus the overall whole body experience is really profound. A hour of acupressure massage, possibly alongside acupuncture, could be considered a useful contribution to AS therapeutic treatment"
