New Year, New You!

So everyone has survived the Christmas season and has eaten their own weight in rich foods and goodies.  January is always a good month to start as you mean to go on for the rest of 2015 so here are some Traditional Chinese Medicine tips to help you through January and set yourself up for the rest of 2015. The post-Christmas/New Year bloat If you are like many others and feeling it in your tummy, bloating, indigestion and generally feeling sluggish, rest assured you are not alone. 
During the Christmas season we tend to eat lots more food than we would normally, both in portion size and eating types of food we would not normally eat. Our poor digestion starts feeling the strain and begins to feel the strain.  Waste accumulates in our intestines, our spleens sag under the pressure and before we know it we are feeling tired, gassy, poor appetite, bad breath, maybe nauseous and of course belly bloat. The slightest bit of food that we eat immediately ends up in a disturbed stomach leaving us feeling very off indeed.

Here are some tips to help your digestive system:

Avoid cold and raw foods such as citrus fruits and salads

Cut down on dairy products

Cut down or out on the sweet and fatty foods (such as Christmas pudding and brandy butter!)

Spread your meals over three to five times a day with smaller portions

Eat most of your food earlier in the day and slow down your eating and chew your food more

Try to eat at the dinner table away from any little distractions such as the television.  In Traditional Chinese Medicine eating in front of the TV can block the flow of qi and exacerbate food stagnation


Try not to eat when you are emotional, as this disrupts the smooth flow of the food through your system. Allow your emotions to settle first, by doing this you may not even want to eat that cookie.

Foods that really help your digestive system:

Barley, carrots, coriander, fennel, vinegar, white cabbage, millet, chili, ginger, aniseed, and caraway seeds.

Acupuncture to help your digestive system:

Specific acupuncture points on the body are well known for reducing abdominal pain, bloating and also for reducing inflammation, increasing gastrointestinal strength, regulating stomach acid, can stop chronic diarrhoea or resolve constipation.  It regulates the whole digestive system with no side effects.  Acupuncture is highly effective in treating most digestive disorders such as IBS, Chron’s disease, chronic constipation or loose stools, ulcers, heartburn and food allergies/sensitivities/Lactose intolerance symptoms.

The WHO (World Health Organisation) recognises acupuncture as being effective for treating over 56 common health complaints!

Acupuncture provides an extremely safe, highly effective and completely natural approach to regaining and maintaining optimum digestive health while restoring strength and balance to your body so go on give it a try!  For more information please contact Niamh at Anam Mai Acupuncture

What our Clients have to say....

Karen, Dublin

I’d like to thank Niamh for all her treatment and care during my last pregnancy.  I came to Niamh requesting help to keep my blood pressure down because on my previous pregnancies I was on medication for BP which I wanted to avoid on my third pregnancy.  Niamh treated me on a regular basis and I avoided medication and high BP issues. I also had 2 previous  inductions and I really wanted to avoid a third induction.  Niamh started pre-induction treatment a few weeks before my due date and then worked up to the full induction the week of my due date and I was delighted when I started labour myself 3 days after my due date and baby was born soon after that.  Niamh did a great job and gave me the outcome that I wanted.  I’d highly recommend Niamh because she is friendly, approachable, very professional  and thrives to achieve the best treatment for her clients.

Jane, Bettystown, Co. Meath

I visited Anam Mai Acupuncture for treatment for post natal depression, anxiety and stress, and found it to be extremely effective.

Niamh has a natural caring attitude towards her clients, and a real passion for her career. In this way, she earns your trust and you feel able to put yourself completely in her hands.

For those who have never tried acupuncture, Niamh is always ready to explain what she is doing and how this will be effective. She has clearly been trained very well in her chosen profession, and her love for this shows through.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Niamh and acupuncture to my friends and family. I found that she was able to help me enormously, and I am grateful to her for this

Lisa, Drogheda, Co. Louth

I attended Niamh in Anam Mai Acupuncture throughout my third pregnancy and found the sessions really beneficial. I had never overly been a fan of needles before, but I found that I really looked forward to my treatments with Niamh. Her easy manner and quiet confidence allowed me to relax and leave my stress behind. I found the acupuncture treatments wonderful for blocked sinuses and pregnancy swelling in my legs and ankles. I went for weekly treatments and the last treatment I had was two days before I gave birth to my beautiful baby boy at home after a short and wonderful labour. Thank you Niamh for all your help and support throughout my pregnancy and post-natally!
