• Mental Health- Anxiety and depression has been on the rise for all walks of life. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine may help ease depression and anxiety  symptoms, as well as treat the underlying condition by supporting the Qi of the body. Blockages of qi and/or deficiencies of qi, cause illnesses. Acupuncture and herbs help to line up qi so that your body is healthy and functioning

​

• Digestion-The digestive system is a complex system. About 10 years ago it was recognized as our second brain. This new discovery changes how the body’s many functions are viewed, because everything we eat can potentially have a life altering effects on the mind as well as the body.

​

Bloating, constipation, diarrhea, nausea, heartburn and abdominal pain are an indication that things are not moving through the digestive tract efficiently. The root cause of many digestive issues is often chronic stress, improper diet, poor sleep habits, and other lifestyle issues.

​

Acupuncture helps by balancing the gut-brain axis and the nervous system to reduce stress, which in turn improves digestive function. One of the side effects of an overactive sympathetic nervous system is decreased digestive function. Acupuncture helps to reduce pain and inflammation which then helps regulate stomach acid and promote peristalsis.

​

• Allergies and Autoimmune- Here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest a host of allergens can affect us in almost any season. From the blooms of cottonwood in the spring to the molds and spores in the winter, Acupuncture can be a great support to alleviate congestion, sneezing, and overall inflammation. It is best to start treatments 1-2 month prior to your most affected season.

​

Autoimmune is a blanket term for the body’s attack on its own healthy tissues. It can create inflammation and congestion throughout the body and can be a lifelong battle.  Chinese medicine can aid in the symptoms and side effects as well as address the root cause of illness.

​

• Everything in between… Traditional Chinese medicine treats the whole body to help maintain balance. Acupuncture and herbal medicine has been shown to treat ailments such as neurological conditions, circulatory disorders, skin conditions, and urinary disorders.
