GENERAL HEALTH

Care is often sought when digestion, sleep, stress response, immune resilience, or recovery feel out of sync. These concerns rarely exist in isolation — they reflect broader patterns in how the body is regulating circulation, inflammation, and nervous system function.

Treatment focuses on identifying those patterns and supporting the body’s ability to restore balance over time. The areas below represent common presentations where acupuncture and herbal medicine provide meaningful support.

Respiratory & Immune Health

You may notice:

• frequent colds or lingering illness
• sinus congestion or seasonal allergies
• chronic cough
• slow recovery after illness

Treatment supports the body’s immune response while easing congestion, reducing inflammation, and improving circulation. Acupuncture, herbal medicine, gua sha and cupping can help shorten recovery time during active illness and build resilience over time.

Gastrointestinal Health

You may notice:

• bloating or digestive discomfort
• irregular bowel habits
• acid reflux
• food sensitivities
• hemorrhoids

Digestive symptoms often reflect nervous system tension, inflammation, or disruption in how the gut is regulating. Treatment reduce discomfort while improving overall gut function. Care can be used alongside conventional treatment to support recovery.

Emotional & Nervous System Regulation

You may notice:

• persistent stress or overwhelm
• anxiety or restlessness
• difficulty unwinding
• emotional fatigue

Stress patterns live in the nervous system as much as the mind. Acupuncture helps regulate the body’s stress response, helps release stuck emotions, and promote a sense of grounding. Over time, treatment supports resilience, emotional regulation, and nervous system recovery.

Stress + Adrenal Fatigue

You may notice:

• chronic fatigue
• brain fog
• disrupted sleep
• low resilience to stress

When stress becomes chronic, the body’s energy systems struggle to recover. Treatment focuses on supporting the adrenals, restoring nervous system balance, and improving sleep — helping rebuild sustainable energy and adaptability.

Insomnia

You may notice:

• difficulty falling asleep
• waking frequently
• non-restorative sleep

Sleep disruption often reflects nervous system dysregulation, hormonal or internal imbalances. Treatment calms the body, and supports natural sleep rhythms. Herbal and lifestyle guidance may be included to reinforce recovery outside the treatment room.

Edema Support

You may notice:

• swelling in the face, hands, or feet
• fluid retention
• heaviness in the limbs

When fluid circulation becomes impaired, swelling can occur. Acupuncture and herbal medicine support healthy circulation and fluid metabolism, helping the body disperse stagnation and restore balance.

Pain and Recovery Support

You may notice:

• chronic tension or soreness
• old injuries that linger
• inflammatory pain
• repetitive strain discomfort

Pain often reflects impaired circulation and tissue recovery. Acupuncture, cupping, and manual therapies reduce inflammation, improve oxygenation, and support healing — promoting both relief and long-term function.
