GENERAL HEALTH
We treat a wide range of conditions with East Asian Medicine, including colds and flu, allergies, sinusitis, chronic cough, insomnia, fatigue, digestive disorders, hormonal health, circulatory issues, and more. Care may also support certain organ-related dysfunctions such as gallstones, liver imbalance, and chronic kidney disease. Read about some of the most common conditions below…
Respiratory & Immune Health
Acupuncture, herbal medicine, and cupping can help shorten the duration of a cold or flu while easing uncomfortable symptoms. These therapies strengthen the body’s natural defenses, relieve congestion, reduce inflammation, and promote healthy circulation—offering support for colds, flu, sinus congestion, seasonal allergies, asthma, chronic cough, and overall immune balance. In addition to addressing active symptoms, regular treatment can help strengthen the immune system, making the body more resilient and less prone to illness. Early care—especially at the first signs of sickness—can prevent symptoms from worsening and encourage a faster recovery.
Gastrointestinal Health
Acupuncture and herbal medicine provide natural, effective support for a wide range of digestive concerns, including IBS, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, acid reflux, bloating, food sensitivities, appetite changes, and constipation. By addressing root causes such as stress, inflammation, and gut dysbiosis, these therapies help regulate the gut microbiome and restore harmony to the digestive system. When used alongside Western treatments, they can enhance outcomes, reduce side effects, and support the body’s natural healing process.
Mental Health
Acupuncture and herbal medicine offer support for the mind, body, and spirit. In East Asian medicine, emotions like fear, grief, anxiety, and emptiness correspond to distinct organ systems and patterns of imbalance—each requiring a unique approach to restore harmony. Whether you’re navigating a life transition, experiencing loss, or feeling stuck in cycles of stress or overthinking, acupuncture helps regulate the nervous system, smooth the flow of qi, and bring the body back into balance. Over time, it can help cultivate a sense of grounding, resilience, and emotional ease.
Stress + Adrenal Fatigue
Chronic stress can deplete the body’s reserves over time, leading to symptoms often described as “adrenal fatigue”—including exhaustion, brain fog, disrupted sleep, and hormonal imbalance. In East Asian medicine, this pattern reflects a depletion of the body’s vital energy (qi) and essence. Acupuncture, herbal medicine, and sometimes gua sha help regulate the nervous system, support restorative sleep, and rebuild resilience by nourishing the body’s core energy. Over time, treatment can promote balance, improve energy levels, and help the body respond more adaptively to stress.
Insomnia
Acupuncture and herbal medicine can help regulate the body’s natural sleep–wake cycle and calm the nervous system, offering effective support for insomnia and restless sleep. These therapies work by reducing stress, easing tension, and restoring balance between the mind and body—helping you fall asleep more easily and wake feeling rested. In Chinese Medicine, there are several underlying patterns that can contribute to insomnia, including both deficiencies and excesses within the body. You will be evaluated to determine the root cause of your sleep disturbance, and treatment will be tailored accordingly. In addition to acupuncture and herbal medicine, personalized dietary and lifestyle recommendations will be discussed to further support healthy, restorative sleep.
Edema Support
Edema occurs when the body struggles to move fluids, leading to swelling. In Chinese Medicine, lower-body edema is often tied to internal deficiencies, while facial swelling is commonly associated with a cold or flu that disrupts fluid movement and circulation. Foot and ankle edema can appear during pregnancy and may also involve swelling in the hands and wrists. This can linger long after birth or arise spontaneously due to deficiencies in the body’s fluid-transport channels. Acupuncture and herbal medicine work to strengthen circulation, support fluid metabolism, and disperse swelling. Treatment often includes acupuncture, customized herbal formulas, and dietary and lifestyle recommendations to address both the root cause and the visible edema—helping restore proper fluid balance and strengthen the constitution.
Pain Management
East Asian Medicine offers a safe and effective approach for both acute and chronic pain, helping reduce inflammation, relax muscles, and support the body’s natural healing response. It benefits athletes, dancers, body workers, hair stylists, office workers, and those recovering from car accidents, old injuries, or repetitive stress conditions.
From sports injuries and overuse strain to back pain, arthritis, and post-traumatic pain, acupuncture provides a drug-free path to relief, faster recovery, and better long-term function. Manual therapies such as cupping, gua sha, and topical herbal treatments may also be incorporated to support healing and enhance your results.
