Headache & Migraine

Headache is one of the most common health-related conditions in Australia, with around 15 per cent of us taking pain-relieving medication for a headache at any given time. It is likely that nearly all of us will experience headache during our lifetime. Acupuncture has long been used to treat headaches. It is not only effective for migraine, but also works very well with tension headaches, cluster headaches, and disease-related headaches that might be due to sinus problems, high blood pressure or sleeping disorders.

Women’s health issue are a major area of interest for Evie. These include regulating menstrual cycles, helping alleviate symptoms that arise from hormonal imbalances and in treating gynaecological conditions such as endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome, menopausal syndrome and dysmenorrhea.

A firm believer in the impact the emotions have on the physical being, Evie has a particular interest in the treatment of emotional disorders such as anxiety and depression. The treatment of emotional disorders is particularly relevant when working with women’s health and fertility, as these issues can be so close to patient’s mental health.

Evie speaks fluent English, Mandarin and Malay language. She is a member of FCMA.

TCM Consultation

counsellingOur Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Consultation approaches disease and disorders as part of a greater whole rather than just treating symptoms. At Acurepoint Health Clinic, consultation is normally very thorough and employs the ancient Chinese arts of pulse and tongue diagnosis, palpation and observation.

The practitioner will discuss with you all of your reasons for seeking treatment. The discussion includes a summary of your body’s systems, your medical and social history, and your diet and lifestyle. A pulse and tongue diagnosis are an essential part of the consultation. The tongue is used as an indicator of body circulation, body fluid, and bodily functioning. The practitioner will observe the color, texture, and coating of the tongue.  The pulse strength and rhythm is an indicator of internal health and energy flow. The practitioner will also observe your skin complexion and voice as indicators of health. There also may be palpation of your abdomen and limbs.

The practitioner will then give a treatment plan with the aim of alleviating the main symptoms and correcting the cause of the health problem or disease. The number of treatments needed depends on the severity of the complaint and how long it has been a problem. The practitioner may decide to use a combination of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine as well as suggest dietary and lifestyle changes.

Moxibustion

moxibustionMoxibustion is an externally applied Tradition Chinese Medicine treatment using a Chinese herb called Moxa, commonly known as ‘Mugwort’.   For external use Moxa is compressed and rolled into a cigar-shaped herbal stick.  Moxa sticks are then lit and held over acupuncture points.  The radiant heat produced has the effect of stimulating the point. The purpose of moxibustion, as with most forms of traditional Chinese medicine, is to strengthen the blood, stimulate the flow of Qi, and maintain general health.

Moxibustion is used for

  • Pain due to injury orarthritis, especially in “cold” patterns where the pain naturally feels better with the application of heat
  • Digestive problemsand irregular elimination
  • Painful menstrual-related systems
  • Improves blood circulation and stimulates the production of hemoglobin, resulting useful in cases of anemia
  • Gynecological and obstetrical conditions, including certain cases of infertility and breech presentation in late termpregnancy
  • Protection against cold and flu strains
  • Improving our immune system

Moxibustion and Breech Presentation

In Western medicine, moxibustion has successfully been used to turn breech babies into a normal head-down position prior to childbirth. A landmark study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1998 found that up to 75% of women suffering from breech presentations before childbirth had fetuses that rotated to the normal position after receiving moxibustion at an acupuncture point on the Bladder meridian. Other studies have shown that moxibustion increases the movement of the fetus in pregnant women, and may reduce the symptoms of menstrual cramps when used in conjunction with traditional acupuncture.
