"Observe the pulse and signs, understand what has gone wrong, and treat accordingly."(Shang Han Lun)
Then we talk through whether acupuncture, herbs, or both make sense for you.
The needles are very fine, about the width of a hair. You may feel a brief pinch as they go in, then a dull, heavy, achy or tingling feeling. That's normal. Tell us any time you're uncomfortable.
We can bill many extended health plans directly for acupuncture; you may need to pay the difference. Coverage varies by plan, so please check with your insurer. See insurers →
Herbs that have been cooked down, concentrated and dried into granules. Stir them into warm water and drink. No boiling herbs at home.
Wear loose clothing or bring a change of clothes, have something to eat beforehand, and if you can, bring a list of your medications and supplements. See First Visit for details →
Please tell us when you book. Some points and herbs are avoided during pregnancy, and we plan your treatment with that in mind.
