FAQ – Paperwork

As with a visit to any medical professional,  there will be a bit of paperwork to complete.  I try to keep this as simple as possible.  At the time that you make an appointment for your initial visit I will direct you to my website (where you are now) to…

FAQ – What Happens in an Initial Visit?

I ask for a 90 minute block of time because there is a lot of ground to cover.  We will go through a detailed intake, pulse and tongue diagnosis and your first acupuncture treatment.  Be sure to NOT brush your tongue beforehand nor eat anything which discolors the mouth an…

FAQ – What does Acupuncture Cost?

Because of the time involved, your 90 minute Initial Visit cost is a flat rate of $125 (current 7/10/23).  Following visits cost $90, and run an hour (pricing subject to change and need).  I charge by the session, not by how many modalities I use.  So I may add heat,…

FAQ – Post Acupuncture Care

Please refrain from heavy exercise,  sexual activity and the consumption of alcohol or recreational drugs within 6  hours of treatment,  as they will interfere with its  effectiveness.  Please refrain from entering a shower,  Jacuzzi, sauna or pool for 6 hours after treatment.  Let it set like Jell-O.  In the next…

FAQ – Is Acupuncture Safe?

For many years since the Clean Needle Act was passed,  we have used only individually wrapped sterile acupuncture needles.  They are disposed of immediately in a Sharps container after use and we do not reuse needles in the United States.  I tend to use a very fine gauge needle that…

FAQ – Time

After your Initial visit,  future sessions run about an hour and a quarter.  Please plan to be on time so that you get the most use of your time.  When people are very tardy,  it is not fair to punish the patient who comes next.  I know traffic happens.  Thank…

Traditional Chinese Medicine

Chinese medicine is among the oldest forms of healing both for the body, mind and spirit. It is safe, relaxing and non-invasive. We don’t use drugs. Instead we use Chinese herbs to help the body heal itself.

Nutritional Counseling

Food is the first line of medicine. In Chinese Medicine most foods are associated with one of the Five Elements ( Wood, Fire, Earth, Water and Metal), and as such, have energetic properties which help alleviate certain conditions. These may vary according to the weather. I often suggest foods which…

Yin Yang: Law of Unity and Balance

You’ve all seen it, the cool symbol for yin and yang, the dynamic curve in a circle with the contrasting dots, but many people don’t realize what the symbol means. We use it to illustrate correspondences in nature. The line separating the yin and yang is curved to demonstrate the…

Five Elements of Nature

Chinese Medicine had a rich and sophisticated body of medical theory based on the Daoist concepts of Five Elements of nature: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. The five Elements described in this theory are simply another way (besides Yin-Yang) of describing human health as a reflection of the natural…

The Art of Chinese Pulse Diagnosis

When a doctor or nurse takes your pulse by placing two fingers on your wrist, they are assessing your heart’s health by counting the number of beats per minute and noticing if you have a regular or irregular heart rate. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), pulse reading is far more…

Facial Rejuvenation

Acupuncture and Chinese medicine can provide a safe, effective, natural, and drug-free approach to reduce signs of aging. A facial rejuvenation using this ancient technique can improve muscle tone of the face and neck while addressing underlying imbalances that may have contributed to the aging process. Why does skin sag?…

What is Cupping?

CUPPING THERAPY is an  ancient  form  of   healing  which can be  used either  to  augment  an  acupuncture  treatment  or as  an  alternative  to acupuncture. Cupping is  an important component of traditional Chinese medicine in  which bell shaped cups  are  applied  to  the  skin, creating a vacuum that causes the cup to adhere…
