Let's see if this superstar can catch Dr Ling inserting the acupuncture needles.

Our little patient is quick, but Dr Ling is much faster with the acupuncture. Children can hardly even notice that he is doing it.

Neuro-Acupuncture for children can help with developmental delay, neurological conditions, allergies, autism, cerebral palsy and much more!

Majority of the battle is coming in, the rest is seamless. As you can see here.

See how we can help your little soldiers today!

For the last few decades, our standard of acceptable levels of sperm have been decreasing.

And the dismissal of levels that are below range by procedures such as ICSI mean that most couples are disregarding the male in the equation.

But men are incredibly important in the journey to a successful pregnancy. It's 50-50. So being actively involved in trying to conceive for men is just as vital.

So how can we address the sperm?

Well because sperm production turns over every 74 days. We look at the entire environment of the body that is contributing to the production of sperm. Such as how well is digestion working? Are there physical impacts of stress on the body? What is their circulation like?

And our Chinese Medicine fertility experts will be answering this question in greater detail in our upcoming webinar.

Join us on Wednesday 28th July at 7.45PM for a Q&A discussion on ways to boost your fertility chances 💥

Looking to boost your innate immunity? Try these 5 things!

💫 Reduce your exposure to the elements, in particular to wind. Wear a jacket and scarf when you're out in the elements to protect your skin from exposure. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, wind can invade the body and cause a disruption in your natural immunity, allowing pathogens to enter.
💫 Incorporate herbal medicine into your life to keep balance and in harmony throughout the year. Powerful immune adaptogens include Amachazuru (Jiao Gu Lan), Ginseng and Astragalus. All of our practitioners at Sustain Health will tailor make your herbal prescriptions to suit your needs.
💫 Acupuncture. A wide variety of acupuncture points can be stimulated to boost your immunity.
💫 Ensure you are getting enough sleep (7-9 hours) and work to reduce any stress in your life.
💫 Consume yellow foods! According to TCM, the spleen is a vital part of regulating immunity, with yellow foods aiding the spleen and stomach. Ginger and turmeric are some great foods to incorporate.

Most people may regard their pain as a normal discomfort and go about their day until it catches up to them. Seeing a chiropractor does not have to wait until it is too late. The early stages of pain can be corrected by a chiropractor before the pain becomes chronic.

Here are 5 ways to improve your fertility according to Traditional Chinese Medicine:

👶 Keep active and get that body moving through something you enjoy! A boost of endorphins and flow of energy through the body is a great way to boost your mood and keep your body happy.
👶 Decreasing your intake of processed foods, alcohol, refined sugar, tinned foods and avoid overdoing it on cold foods (ice-cream etc). Instead, opt for whole foods and increase your intake of local, organically grown red, purple and dark green foods.
👶 A healthy weight can increase your fertility. Many underweight or overweight women and men struggle with fertility. Work with your healthcare provider to identify your fertility weight window.
👶 Find a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner to help you on your fertility journey. They will incorporate acupuncture & TCM herbs to help balance your body and improve your fertility, naturally.
👶 Many endocrine disruptors can be found in your home and workplaces, so be sure to observe your environment! Avoid plastics, strongly scented bath oils, incense, candles, lotions and perfumes. Opt for all natural home and body products.

We are here to help! How can acupuncture help paediatric conditions?

👶 Supports development. Acupuncture can help strengthen neural pathways for language and motor development.
👶 Strengthens immunity. TCM therapies can target the central nervous system to release proteins, hormones and chemicals to regulate body systems.
👶 Enhances adjunct therapies. Using acupuncture in conjunct with other therapies may help the effectiveness of other treatments and facilitates a better response.
