Chinese Herbs

Chinese herbs are an important part of oriental medicine. Chinese herbs help to continue the positive results of acupuncture treatments in between visits. An herbal supplement may be prescribed to a patient to enhance the benefits of treatment. Herbal treatments as well as other therapies will be discussed at the time of treatment.

Acupuncture


The World Health Organization recognizes acupuncture as a safe and effective treatment for a large number of disorders and diseases. Acupuncture involves the insertion of hair fine needles into the body.  There is very little if any pain
​ for most patients.

​What you should know 

  • The first treatment will be longer than others - plan for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Wear loose clothing.  Many points that are useful in treatment will require that you remove clothing, and loose clothing can minimize this.
  • While it is not good to show up to an appointment hungry, please don’t eat a large meal just before an appointment.
  • Chronic conditions usually take more treatment than acute conditions.
  • Initially appointments should be close together - such as 1-3 times a week, but as treatment progresses you will be able to space them further and further appart.
  • If any other health concerns come up please let me know.

What treatment is like

  • The first appointment will involve a detailed medical history and acupuncture treatment. 
  • Follow up appointments will include a less detailed session of questions.
  • Other treatments may include: Moxa (a gentle warming therapy), electrical stimulation, infrared heat therapy, some massage and an herbal presciption.
  • While not necessarily sensation free (most patients, especially after a few appointments, experience a “Qi“ sensation),  patients find treatments comfortable if not relaxing.  Many patients fall asleep during treatment.
