Acupuncture and East Asian Medicine are some of the oldest evidence-based medicines. Acupuncture is the process of inserting hair-width needles into the body to initiate a change locally, or up- or downstream. There are many theories as to why it works so well, but no one really has pinned down precisely why it's so effective. If it's your first time exploring acupuncture as a modality, come curious and don't be afraid to ask questions about the process! It shouldn't hurt, but it's not sensation-less, either. Typically we see big changes slowly and over time.

Acupuncture and East Asian Medicine are the some of the oldest evidence-based medicines. Modern pharmacology has roots in herbal medical modalities. Chinese Herbal Medicine in particular can be an incredibly effective way to target an underlying chronic issue, but it can also be used for things like common cold or flu. Sometimes herbs need many months to work slowly (like a growing a garden) and sometimes they work quickly to clear out a pathogen (like weeding said garden).
