Join us at our next Acupuncture Collective - 2pm to 8pm - Monday 16th November at Moon Women's Health, NW5 to support you with SAD.
SAD, otherwise known as seasonal affective disorder, can hit surprisingly hard as the clocks turn back in October and daylight becomes a long-lost memory.
What is SAD?
From personal experience, over the past week, there’s been a sudden and unexpected change in mood, like an unwelcome visitor - worry, overthinking, tight chest, and flashes of doom.
MIND, the mental health organisation, describes these as symptoms of SAD, as well as, difficulty in concentrating, feeling sad, guilty or hopeless, being more prone to illnesses such as colds and infections, sleeping too long or too little and changes in hunger or sexual interest. All the fun stuff then! Thanks a lot, SAD!
SAD is a reaction to seasonal changes in daylight, which disrupts our body clock and hormones like serotonin, which affect mood, appetite and sleep. But here’s the good news. (Phew!)
Acupuncture is the answer to our hormonal prayers! It helps regulate our nervous system, calming us down or energising us, depending on which points around the body are focused on. It also helps boost serotonin and melatonin, which boost our mood and help us sleep.
We can also use acupuncture to strengthen our immune system, by using points on the Lung Meridian and tonify what the ancient Chinese called Wei Qi! Go on… Google it! All that and the loving embrace of our warm, friendly group clinic...
See you on 16th November...

Some lovely misty weather to welcome in the New Moon this month, reminding me of this poem by 19th century London poet, Thomas Hood...
