Hay fever Prevention and Treatment

Caitlin Allen — Mon, 24 Mar 2025 10:32:37 +0000

Hayfever symptoms have already started for those of us with an allergy to tree pollen. For others, the dread of debilitating symptoms coming in the next few months, can be creeping in.

Acupuncture can treat the symptoms of hay fever- itchy throat and nose, sneezing, watery eyes and a blocked or runny nose. But many people don’t know that it can also prevent symptoms from arising. A course of sessions are recommended for treatment and prevention and on average this may be about 6 sessions, attending weekly for your acupuncture.

Do get in touch to see if we can help and for you to enjoy more of the Spring and Summer months.

Endometriosis Treatment

Caitlin Allen — Fri, 14 Mar 2025 11:42:24 +0000

NICE have approved a new medication for some women who suffer with endometriosis and have not had relief from other NHS based treatments. Such great news!

We often treat endometriosis and have been a ‘last hope’ for some who have exhausted all their mainstream medical treatments and have seen great results. One woman recently told us that “acupuncture has given me my life back”.

Do get in touch if you are struggling with pain or any other aspect of endometriosis to see if we can help.

Clinic Location Change – Headingley We Are Ready!

Caitlin Allen — Tue, 18 Feb 2025 16:31:10 +0000

We have said our goodbyes to our gorgeous, Rodley Clinic, where we have been for 13 years. The space has looked after us so beautifully and holds so many cherished memories of so many people that we have been blessed to meet as clients.

We closed last week and this week have been preparing our new clinic room for you in the Headingley Enterprise and Arts Centre (HEART), on Bennett Road, LS6 3HN. It’s going to feel very different being housed within a centre but we love Heart. It’s a community led organisation with a fabulous ethos and I’ve been hosting my groups for other acupuncturists who meet for supervision and mentoring there for years. The perks for our clients is it has a brilliant cafe, with amazing coffee and cake and lunches and a delightful pop up shop and garden and plant shop in the foyer, so if you are early, settle down for some nourishment for your stomach and your green fingers!

We will reopen on 25th February. Initially we will be working from just one room so will have limited availability as we have shrunk from our two treatment room clinic, but this may change once we settle in so we will keep you posted.

Acupuncture For Menopause and Peri-Menopause

Caitlin Allen — Wed, 01 Jan 2025 14:30:51 +0000

Acupuncture played an important part in my own management of menopausal symptoms. As acupuncture treats on an individual level, it means that we can tailor treatment that’s right just for you. This is particularly important in menopause and peri-menopause, when the umbrella of symptoms can be so diverse and change throughout our menopause journey.

This article explains more about some of the ways in which acupuncture can help you to manage in menopause.
