Mental Wellness

Acupuncture helps to relax body and mind, reduces cortisol levels, encourages healthy vagal tone, and takes the body out of fight or flight (sympathetic nervous system) and into the rest and digest phase (parasympathetic nervous system).

PHYSICAL PAIN

Acupuncture can help relieve muscle and nerve pain by releasing endogenous opioids (natural pain killers), increasing circulation, and stimulating the brain and tissues to heal themselves.

Acupuncture and herbal medicine can stimulate the immune system and help prevent and fight common infections. In particular, herbal medicine, moxibustion, and cupping can be wonderful for things like cold, allergy, and flu.

IMMUNITY

Acupuncture and herbal medicine can help regulate inflammation and cellular function associated with every organ and a variety of diseases and syndromes. Acupuncture and herbal medicine are especially effective with things like IBS, asthma, allergies, and auto immune disease.

INTERNAL MEDICINE

Acupuncture and herbal medicine can be a gentle way to assist babies, kids, and teens with everything from birth injury, to colic, to ADHD, to allergies, to acne.

PEDIATRICS

Acupuncture and herbal medicine have shown to be incredibly effective at increasing both male and female (and non-binary) fertility, whether through natural efforts, IUI, or IVF. We ask that, if possible, you give us 3 months of weekly treatments prior to trying to conceive, but we can still help if you’re right in the middle of the process.

FERTILITY

Acupuncture can be used to prevent miscarriage, ease morning sickness, fatigue, anxiety, and pregnancy related back and hip pain. At 37 weeks, we suggest twice weekly visits to prepare for the body for an optimal labor and birth.

PREGNANCY

Please Note: Acupuncture should be one part of your overall treatment plan. Please also consult with your medical doctor, psychiatrist, or therapist . Acupuncture works great when paired with Western Medicine! We can and should work together!
