Let’s talk about Spleen 6 ✨

SP6 is one of those acupuncture points I find myself returning to again and again because it can support the body in so many different ways.

It’s commonly used within personalised treatments to support:

• Digestion, bloating and energy
• Painful or irregular periods
• Fertility and reproductive health
• Stress, restlessness and sleep
• Feelings of heaviness or sluggishness

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Spleen 6 is particularly special because it’s where the Spleen, Liver and Kidney channels meet — three channels that play an important role in women’s health.

As always, points are selected according to your individual needs rather than using the same treatment for everyone.

Have you had Spleen 6 used during one of your treatments?

SP6 is generally avoided during pregnancy unless used by a suitably qualified practitioner.

Have you heard of seed cycling?

It’s a simple practice where different seeds are eaten during different phases of your menstrual cycle to provide nutrients that support your body.

While the research is still emerging, many women enjoy incorporating seed cycling as part of a wider approach to supporting their menstrual health, hormones and wellbeing.

Follicular phase (Day 1–14)
• Flaxseeds
• Pumpkin seeds

Luteal phase (Day 15–28)
• Sunflower seeds
• Sesame seeds

Seeds are packed with nutrients including healthy fats, fibre, zinc, vitamin E and lignans, making them a nourishing addition to your diet whether you sprinkle them over porridge, yoghurt, warm salads or blend them into your baking.

At Pintama Health, I love helping women look at the bigger picture. Acupuncture, nutrition, sleep, stress management and gentle lifestyle changes often work beautifully together to support your menstrual cycle, fertility and hormonal wellbeing.

Have you ever tried seed cycling? I’d love to hear if it’s something you’ve included in your routine.

Fertility struggles can feel incredibly lonely, even when you have people around you who care.

There are appointments to manage, cycles to track, decisions to make and endless waiting. It can leave you feeling as though your body and mind never truly switch off.

Acupuncture gives you dedicated time to pause, breathe and feel supported.

Each treatment is tailored to what you need that day—helping to calm an overwhelmed nervous system, support hormonal balance and encourage a healthier menstrual cycle, alongside natural conception or IVF treatment.

Sometimes, it’s also about having a quiet space where you can rest and let someone else take care of you for a while.

You don’t have to carry it all alone 🤍

If you have any questions about how acupuncture may support you, please feel free to message me.

Do you ever feel tense, irritable, emotional or simply… stuck?

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this pattern may be described as Liver Qi stagnation. It can develop when stress, frustration or unexpressed emotions interrupt the smooth flow of Qi around the body.

You might notice:

✨ Tight shoulders or jaw
✨ Frequent sighing
✨ Irritability or sudden bursts of anger
✨ Feeling tearful or emotionally overwhelmed
✨ Bloating or digestive discomfort
✨ Headaches
✨ PMS, breast tenderness or painful periods
✨ A feeling that you just can’t properly relax

It doesn’t mean there is something wrong with your physical liver. It is a TCM way of understanding a collection of symptoms and how stress may be affecting the body as a whole.

Acupuncture can help to gently restore movement, ease tension and support a greater sense of calm and balance.

Does that “stuck” feeling sound familiar? Save this post for later, or send me a DM if you’d like to find out how acupuncture may support you.

Why does your acupuncturist ask to see your tongue?

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the tongue can offer useful clues about what may be happening beneath the surface. Its colour, shape, coating, moisture and markings all help build a wider picture of your digestion, energy, circulation and overall balance.

Different areas of the tongue are traditionally associated with different organ systems, but we never interpret one sign in isolation. Tongue observation is combined with your pulse, symptoms and health history to help shape a treatment that is personal to you.

So when I ask you to stick out your tongue, I’m not being nosy — I’m gathering another piece of your health puzzle.

Do you ever look at your tongue in the mirror first thing in the morning? Have a look tomorrow — you might start noticing more than you did before.

Has summer left you feeling bloated, sluggish and completely frazzled?

The holidays are wonderful, but weeks of later nights, meals out, extra treats, a few more drinks and trying to keep the whole family entertained can take their toll.

You might notice:

• uncomfortable bloating
• sluggish digestion
• lower energy
• disrupted sleep
• feeling more irritable or overwhelmed

This isn’t about feeling guilty or starting a punishing detox. Summer is there to be enjoyed. It’s simply about gently helping your body settle back into its rhythm.

Acupuncture can support digestion, calm the nervous system and encourage more restful sleep — helping you feel more balanced and like yourself again.

If your body is telling you it needs a little support, DM me to book an appointment at my Wilmslow clinic.

What’s going on your shopping list this week?

Supporting your wellbeing doesn’t have to mean expensive supplements, complicated recipes or changing everything you eat. Sometimes it starts with adding a few simple, nourishing foods to your basket.

Walnuts, black sesame seeds, pears, fresh ginger and dark leafy greens can all be easily woven into everyday meals. In Chinese medicine, food is one of the gentle ways we can support the body and help maintain balance throughout the seasons.

Which one will you add this week? Save this post for your next food shop 🤍

Magnesium is involved in over 300 processes in the body, yet many people don’t realise they may be running low.

Low magnesium can sometimes show up as:
✨ Poor sleep
✨ Muscle cramps or twitching
✨ Feeling anxious or overwhelmed
✨ Headaches or migraines
✨ Low energy
✨ Restless legs
✨ PMS symptoms
✨ Constipation

Of course, these symptoms can have many different causes, so it’s important not to self-diagnose. But if several of these sound familiar, it’s worth looking at the bigger picture.

As a Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncturist, I don’t just look at one symptom in isolation. I look at how your body is functioning as a whole—your sleep, digestion, stress levels, hormones, energy and nutrition—to understand what’s really going on.

Acupuncture, alongside the right nutrition and lifestyle support, can help restore balance and support your body’s natural ability to heal.

Acupuncture is about so much more than simply placing needles.

I take time to listen, understand your health concerns and look at how your body and mind are functioning day to day. The questions I ask help me build a fuller picture of what may be contributing to your symptoms, so we can create a treatment plan tailored to you.

If you’re struggling with a health concern or simply don’t feel quite yourself, get in touch to book an appointment. Together, we can work towards helping you feel calmer, more balanced and back on track.
