How can acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine help?
It is important to remember that treatments are designed to address the person who is experiencing some kind of imbalance rather than having a limited focus on disease or illness. We are unique, each body is complex, every part of the body is connected to all other parts, and each of us has our own way of relating to that which has us feel unwell. Treatment is individualized, based on what the person needs in the moment.
