Making love on Valentines day

February 13, 2024

Products available from www.pharmanord.co.uk Discount code: COLCHESTER15

Lovemaking is an important part of our romantic relationships. Maintaining physical closeness and connection enhances our feelings of love and security. I’d go so far as to say, we need it! We need that private, intimate fun time in the bedroom which contributes to feeling supported, secure and loved. It is not uncommon however particularly as we age, for the fire to dwindle and performance affected.

For women, that can often coincide with Perimenopause. Loss of libido and vaginal dryness which will result in lovemaking being uncomfortable, these are common symptoms. For men, heart disease and diabetes affect blood flow which can result in difficulties getting, or maintaining an erection.

As a society, we’re not great at talking about these things. For men in particular, performance issues can nag away at that sense of masculinity, virility, self worth even. If we’re not prepared to speak up about these issues and address them as simply a health issue, this can create distance and feelings of shame or rejection within a relationship.

So, let me present a couple of products from Pharmanord that have been developed to address our bedroom issues. These are not hormone based or Viagra. In simple terms, they improve blood flow to the genital area by increasing Nitrous oxide availability. The women’s version can be used in conjunction with Omega-7 (also available from Pharmanord), which will help to moisten and lubricate the vagina.

Pharmanord are keen to back up their products with research. Both products perform well. To purchase go to www.pharmanord.co.uk and enjoy 15% off with Discount code: COLCHESTER15

Phlebotomy training

September 7, 2023

Phlebotomy training, blood tests, Colchester Acupuncture, test for deficiencies
Phlebotomy kit for blood tests at Colchester Acupuncture, Colchester

Karen Jefferies at Colchester Acupuncture, recently had the opportunity to train as a phlebotomist! That’s someone who can take blood samples by the way. At Colchester Acupuncture we are conscious that often patients present with a complex list of symptoms, some of which are difficult to attribute the cause. Blood tests can help to identify issues pertaining to deficiencies.

A blood test can tell a lot about deficiencies

A simple blood test can be a good starting point to find out about deficiencies. B12 or Vitamin D deficiencies are common for example and can cause a variety of symptoms. Once identified, it’s simple to rectify. We test, supplement, retest and review three months later. A better route than randomly taking supplements on the off chance or because we read it in a magazine! (Yes we’ve all done it).

We’ll be offering blood tests as a new service to patients soon

So. we should be offering this service for patients soon. Watch this space.

I have been seeing Karen for quite some time on a regular basis due to long term back pain due to arthritis and she keeps me on my feet, I always feel so much better when I have seen her for acupuncture. She is kind, funny, supportive and a true professional. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Went to Karen after being highly recommended by a friend, my back had been tense and stiff for a while. Karen was very professional and after a chat recommended some acupuncture. Was made very comfortable and relaxed and had some treatment. Afterwards felt fantastic and could actually bend down to tie my shoelaces with ease, for the first time in a long time. Throughly recommend Karen and will be going back for regular treatment.

Karen is brilliant. Her treatments have helped me with chronic fatigue and pain. Always such a pleasure to chat with and a great support throughout health issues. From a total newbie to acupuncture am now a total convert. Thanks Karen, can't recommend you to others enough!

Karen was excellent. I'd never had acupuncture before but she was very knowledge about acupuncture but also what I was going to see her for and the wider issues and the ins and outs of other treatments I had along side the acupuncture.She made me feel at ease and was very supportive. I would recommend Karen to everyone. The acupuncture worked and I was always very relaxed I was always dissapointed when it was over as I was always so relaxed during and after treatment.Thanks

Karen is always professional and makes me feel comfortable and safe during our appointments. She has been a huge help with both my menopause symptoms, as well as managing flare ups with my neck and back pain. I was previously unsure about acupuncture, but I simply can’t deny the significant benefits Karen has made to my quality of life after my treatments. I strongly recommend a visit to Karen, especially if you’re nervous or unsure about receiving treatments.
