Why does a single needle in your foot affect your whole body?
In the new Biz Bize Health episode, we sit down with Dr Meltem Özkan Girgin, a women’s health and obstetrics specialist, to talk about acupuncture. After 25 years in medicine she trained with the British Medical Acupuncture Society, and here she shows, needle in hand, why the treatment is almost painless (the one she uses is just 0.2mm, and flexible).
Menopause and perimenopause symptoms, migraines and tension headaches, muscle and joint pain, stress, and general wellbeing: acupuncture reaches further than most people expect. But how does one single point ease two opposite problems at once? And why does a needle in your foot affect a completely different organ?
The answers go all the way back to the first weeks in the womb. We’re leaving that part, and our host’s experience of three sessions for three different issues, for the episode itself.
With what she calls her “magic wand” needles, Meltem works what can only feel like “miracles.”
