001 London Thermal Hormone Balance Acu-Patch
001 London, born from its award-winning Harley Street clinic, introduces the Thermal Hormone Balance Acu-Patch® , part of the Integratv wellness range. Combining traditional Chinese Medicine herbs with self-heating mineral technology, the patch delivers gentle, sustained warmth to the navel, lower abdomen or lower back. Suitable for both men and women, it promotes circulation, eases tension and supports hormonal balance through life’s fluctuations, from perimenopause and menstrual cycles to stress, fatigue and fertility preparation.
The patch’s warming effect works on multiple levels. Heat-sensitive receptors in the skin signal the brain, prompting muscle relaxation, parasympathetic activation, and improved blood flow. This helps ease cramps, bloating, and cycle-related sleep disruption, while supporting emotional wellbeing by elevating serotonin activity and reducing inflammatory markers. Repeated mild warmth may even stimulate cellular repair pathways, supporting resilience and longevity.
Ada Ooi, Integrative Medicine Practitioner and founder of 001 London, explains: "Together, these herbal actives work synergistically with the warming mechanism to ease physical symptoms while supporting the HPA axis- the body’s central stress and hormone regulation system, reducing neuroinflammation- a type of low-grade inflammation in the nervous system that may show up as fatigue, heightened ache sensitivity, mood fluctuations and sleep disruption. Consistent usage helps the body ‘remember’ its rhythm. Healing and prevention happen when the body feels safe, warm, and strengthened. This patch is a modern ritual informed by thousands of years of Eastern wisdom, proven daily in our clinic with both men and women seeking hormone care, fertility support, and emotional balance."
At the heart of the patch are five legendary herbs selected for their synergistic actions. Mugwort is used in Chinese Medicine to dispel cold and encourage smooth energy flow. Niu Xi (Achyranthes) eases lower body tension and hormonal stagnation. Bai Zhi (White Angelica) is known as a restorative tonic, helping to replenish and harmonise the body’s hormones and resources. Ginger provides gentle warmth, awakening sluggish systems and invigorating the senses. Safflower is valued for its ability to move stagnation and ease areas of tightness or discomfort. Motherwort is traditionally regarded as a herb that settles restlessness and supports emotional equilibrium. Paired with the patch’s gentle thermal warmth, these herbal actives work together to create a multisensory ritual that restores flow, nurtures resilience, and supports overall wellbeing.
