Health can be simple
Eastern Medicine Health Consultation Online
Eastern medicine is a holistic system based in the principles of nature. As an acupuncturist I have extensive training and years of practice working with Eastern medicine modalities to help people achieve balance physically, mentally, and in daily life.
If you are not able to come in person to our clinic in Bath, Maine for an acupuncture treatment, then an online Eastern medicine health consulation may be right for you.
Eastern Medicine Health Guidance
Your health is in your hands, and we want to give you the best tools to meet all your goals. Some of the approaches we often recommend for better well-being include sleep hygiene, dietary changes to reduce inflammation and increase energy, regular exercise for mood regulation, and stress management practices.
There are also simple traditional interventions that can be done at home such as castor oil packs, hydrotherapy, and preparing for the change of seasons.
Classical Chinese Herbal Medicine
The science of Chinese herbal formulas has been used successfully for centuries as part of traditional Eastern medicine. These formulas are designed so each herb works harmoniously with the others, creating a unique architecture to support the body as a whole.
In the Western medicine approach with supplements, individual vitamins, and especially pharmaceuticals, the herb is broken down into its constituent parts and that particular part alone is concentrated. This can have unintended consequence such as short or long-term side effects, as the body needs to process a substance that is out of context.
Chinese herbal medicine understands that the human body is complex, intricate, and individual. For any given health condition there may be many conflicting imbalances that require reorganization in order to resolve.
By working with the natural energetic flows of the body this medicine can help get you in a balanced and healthy state.

How it Works
If it is your first visit you will complete the online intake form with your health history and current issues prior to the appointment. Follow up visits do not require an intake form.
We will discuss your health goals and current issues, and have a conversation about best health interventions for your needs.
If your issues are primarily pain related we generally recommend you come in for an acupuncture treatment which is much more effective for pain.
After the visit your herbal formulas will be ordered and drop shipped to you.
After the visit your Wellness Plan will be emailed to you which will include:
- Information about your herbal prescription.
- Dietary and nutritional suggestions.
- Exercise modifications.
- Lifestyle interventions such as sleep hygeine practices and stress reduction techniques.
- Recomendations for follow up visits if needed.
