Acupuncture

Acupuncture was started in China over two thousand years ago as a method of treating health problems by inserting fine needles into the body at certain points. These points are specific to particular symptoms and illnesses.

Positive patient results by many practitioners have shown acupuncture to be safe and effective for many conditions, such as pain, stress and addiction recovery. Acupuncture works by stimulating specific acupuncture points to match the individual condition; these points are located along circulatory pathways, known as meridians and travel to neural pathways to create physiological change in the body.

There are hundreds of acupuncture points all over the body, including the scalp, ear, hands and feet. Many acupuncture points have multiple functions and can address more than one condition. Known by the ancient Chinese, these acupuncture points provide relief from symptoms and improve well-being.

Herbal Medicine and Whole Food Supplementation

Chinese herbs are an integral part of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I prescribe herbal formulas in pill or tincture form, which makes herbal medicine easy and convenient to take.  Herbal formulas treat both acute and chronic conditions safely and effectively.

In Chinese herbal medicine, more than one herb is used to treat a particular condition because herbs work synergistically together and are designed to create balance within the formula itself.  Herbal formulas can go a long way to restoring health for many conditions.

Many health problems are a result of a deficiency in certain minerals and vitamins .Nutritional, or whole food supplements can rapidly provide those nutrients in an absorbable form.  Whole food supplements are made by concentrating high nutrient foods that work synergistically to provide you with optimal nutrition. I use high quality organically grown supplements, sometimes prescribe them on their own, and sometimes in conjunction with an herbal formula

Herbs and whole food supplements, like acupuncture, work gently with the body to bring it back to a state of balance. The beneficial effects of herbs may take a patient anywhere from one week to one month to perceive subjective changes, depending on the chronicity and severity of the condition.
